Your Rush Limbaugh Echo for Tuesday, 1/24/12
Student NOTES from Institute juniors, not 'official'
Rush back Wed: Newt's guys have eMailed me.
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#1: Rush Limbaugh returns tomorrow, Wednesday; check website.
This is your undocumented anchor man; Rush says he will be back Wednesday to clean up any mess I leave. Rush said he was unaware there was a Republican debate, and he lives in Florida. I sat through the debate, and I also was unaware there was a Republican Debate.
The secretary of Billionaire Warren Buffet will sit with the First Lady for her husband's State of the Union Address, SOTU address.
We are live in the heart of Manhattan to day. Mr Snerdley was in a hotel and the TV wasn't working so he missed Brian Williams moderating on NBC. That is where I want to say next time.
H.R. says that Brian Williams is a nice guy and a friend of Rush. I don't care: I am just off the banana boat. Why do the Republican party candidates fall in to a DbM debate? [ED: The debate was good and Brian did good job; analysis after was kooky Liberal-Leftist so we watch only opening stupidity, including Chris Matthews.] Brian Williams allowed no applause.
Here are the topics, in Brian Williams's expertise: putting a man on Mars and sugar cane. If you buy a Mars candy bar, it has sugar in it. He would not allow applause because it would distract and take seconds from the valuable debate. We could send Americans up there to do the jobs Martians won't do.
When it was over, he said, "The room cleared surprisingly quickly." The debate wasn't entirely without merit. Mitt Romney said illegals will leave with self-deportation. After the show, I'll try it back to Canada. If you want to join me, assume the Lotus position.
Maybe 40% of the Floridian voters will go and vote. Newt gave a good response, "Sugar beets hide behind sugar cane." Cane sugar beats sugar beets? Can Sugar beat Obama? These are the questions asked and answered.
Then Brian Williams talks about Cuba Fidel Castro about to die. Romney says he would be glad that he has meets his maker, and Gingrich said that he would go to Hell instead. That was the big disagreement last night.

Seg#2: Who would know better about NHL Stanley Cup than Mark Steyn?
Mark Steyn in for Rush Limbaugh. Stanley Cup hockey player, goal tender, snubs President Obama because the federal government has grown out of control. We could have him in the Republican debate. He says both parties are responsible.
H.R. asks, "Who is Stanley?" He was Earl of Darby. When they laid out North America, Canada got the part with the ice. It's sunny in San Diego where they get gov't subsidies to build NHL stadiums. That's the short version.
>>> Newt says he won't be a president to merely manage the decline.

From the Rush Limbaugh Morning Update: "How?"
In their Sunday edition, the business section, the New York Times ran a very lengthy article: "How U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work." Apple employs 43,000 people domestically, 20,000 overseas. With even more jobs for Apple contractors.
But the figure that's starting to bug some liberals is the 700,000 who work to engineer and build iPhones, iPads, and other stuff at high-tech factories in Asia and Europe. The article quotes former Obama economic advisor Jared Bernstein: "Apple's an example of why it's so hard to create middle-class jobs in the U.S. now. If it's the pinnacle of capitalism, we should be worried."
Last February, Obama met with high-tech gurus in Silicon Valley. He asked Steve Jobs what it would take to make the iPhone in America. "Those jobs aren't coming back," Jobs told Obama.
Speed and flexibility are two reasons. When Apple redesigned a glass iPhone screen, 8,000 Chinese workers started 12-hour shifts. "Within 96 hours, the plant was producing over 10,000 iPhones a day," reports the Times. But the article never answers how we lost the iPhone jobs. Simple. In America, liberalism has become more successful than capitalism.
Liberals have given us layers of burdensome regulations, obstacles to manufacturing with speed and flexibility. We have higher business taxes, our liberal schools are churning out a workforce of illiterates, we have "occupiers" in parks with no interest in work, and we have a President and Democrat Congress who believe in government, not the private sector. And they have no unions in China, that's how!

Quote Gems from Rush Limbaugh dot com:
"Newt is not getting these votes because there's a wild, uncontrollable desire for him to be president. It's the message that he's sending. He is speaking for millions of Republicans who see the way he's doing things as a solution, and as a strategy for victory over Barack Obama. Newt is a messenger."
"People ask me, 'What do you mean, who is this Republican establishment?' Two things. They don't like conservatives and they're not really all that concerned about spending. They want to be in charge of it. That's who they are."
"Newt keeps pushing off any questions on his anti-conservative statements. And he better not. I think Newt is just as vulnerable on his anti-conservatism as Romney is on Romneycare."
"So the base of the Republican Party, the voters, have been bottling up for 25 years, a resentment -- an anger, if you will -- that their own party won't fight for them, won't fight for itself, won't fight for what's right."
"Politics is about passion, and the Republican Party doesn't seem to have it! There's always fear of somebody. Fear of the media, fear of Democrats."
"Every bit of 'electability' conventional wisdom from the so-called experts was stood on its head Saturday night, and so pundits and the analysts and the consultants are trying to analyze it and figure it out -- and the best they can come up with is, 'We've gotta put a stop to this! If this goes go on, it's gonna kill the Republican Party. Oh, no.'"
"The one thing Mitt Romney has trouble doing is connecting with his audience. That's why the jokes of him being a Ken doll. He just doesn't connect."
"This is not the voters saying, 'We love Newt! Newt's the only guy!' That's not what's going on here. Newt's a vessel right now, and Newt would be wise to understand that, too."
"I'm not supporting anybody. I am supporting conservatism. I'm supporting the truth about Barack Obama coming out."
"To those of you in the Republican base, this isn't complicated. Newt is winning. He is on a momentum roll here because he can articulate conservatism, that and he's willing to take it to Obama."
"We are running against the most pathetic president we've had since Jimmy Carter. I am not afraid."
"I trust the Republican base. That's who I trust. I trust the Republican voters. I'm totally confident with them. They are the people in this audience."
"Don't forget who we're running against. We are not running against The Messiah. Not running against God, just somebody who thinks he is."
"iPhones aren't made in America 'cause they can't be. The infrastructure, the labor force doesn't exist at the levels necessary to support Apple's operations or the demand. It just can't happen, not the way things are currently structured in America."
"We get questions all the time, 'Rush, why can't we get Two If By Tea in the stores?'
One of the reasons is something that I learned when I had my two books out. Once they hit the store, you lose control of the product. In the case of my books, they ended up in the cooking section, the prostitution section. The liberal clerks that worked there hide
them, refused to put 'em on sale, told people that came in to buy them ' Sorry, we don't care it,' or put the back cover out so nobody could find it. You just lose control of the product in the highly charged political world in which I live."
"Newt comes off as smart, and I can't TELL YOU how much that matters to people on our side. They're sick and tired of people being nominated who can't put two sentences together or sound like Cowboy Billy Bob at the time they're doing it. They're just fed up with it."

Quotable quotes from Fox News and talk radio:
"GOP concedes half the playing field before even going to play the game." Mark Steyn
"Mitt Romney gave $7million in charity and tithing which is more than Democrats." Mark Steyn. "Thank God for the Cayman Islands when corp tax is 35%."
"There isn't the candidate who is 25% of each of the four." The great Mark Steyn "Keep focused! Any one of these candidates would be better than Barack H. Obama."
"Mitt Romney shouldn't be arguing on their turf: by 'fairness' they mean government control." Mark Steyn "If you didn't like the first term of Obama, watch out!"

The tech industry's clout is increasing in Washington as it combines cash and its users' clout.
"Hugo" and "The Artist," two new movies that pay tribute to the birth of cinema, were among the leading candidates when the 2012 Oscar nominations were announced this morning.
Advisers to Mitt Romney offered a detailed defense of the former Bain Capital executive's tax returns on conference calls with reporters, saying that he paid "100% of what he owes," and never engaged in "tax-motivated" or "aggressive" transactions.

Lots of difficult and important things, as this excellent video from the Heritage Foundation points out. One thing you can't do, however–at least, not if you are the Democratic Senate–is fulfill your legal obligation to pass a budget. Today is the 1,000th day since the Senate last fulfilled its legal duty by adopting a budget. The fault lies 100% with Harry Reid and his fellow Democrats, who have been in »

The Washington Post Science section today carries an interesting story about how astronomers estimate that the black hole at the center of our galaxy has a mass equivalent of 4 million suns, and moreover that they are hoping to take a photo of it. "The thing we will actually see is light just barely escaping from the black hole," the Post quotes one hopeful astronomer. By why look so far »

Further to John's post below on the shame of the Democratic Senate for failing to pass a budget for 1,000 days, Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Republican Study Committee, notes that the last time the Senate passed a budget, "you had never heard of the iPad, Tiger Woods was only known for his golfing abilities, General Motors had never declared bankruptcy, you had never heard of Swine flu. »

We have written many times over the years about liberal newspapers, in particular the New York Times, which have published classified information in violation of the Espionage Act. They did thus to undermine the foreign policies of the United States, and in particular to attack the Bush administration. Today the curtain was raised on one of those episodes, as a former CIA official who was more recently a Democratic staffer »

Hugh Hewitt draws attention to the astounding news that the AFSCME arm of the AFL-CIO has bought $800,000 worth of television time to run this ad attacking Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain. (Hugh credits Conn Carroll for the inside dope.) AFSCME's ad gives voice to some of the same sort of high-minded concerns about Romney's work at Bain that Newt has voiced. The ad will run throughout the state of »

Florida Debate Open Thread
[Monday, yesterday evening] mark[ed] the 17th Republican debate (but it doesn't feel like it's been a day over 16 debates). It comes just as Mitt Romney's 22 point lead in Florida has disappeared, and Rasmussen now has Newt Gingrich with an 11 point lead on Romney with a week to go before the Sunshine State primary. As for Florida's 50 convention delegates, it's winner take all, and they know it: ~~~

Press Release, Alexandria VA January 23, 2012/12:45PM:
"No one denies that the consequences of November 19, 2005 were tragic, least of all SSgt Frank Wuterich. But the fact of the matter is that he has now been totally exonerated of the homicide charges brought against him by the government and the media. For six years, he's had his name dragged through the mud. Today, we hope, is the beginning of his redemption. He has always publicly taken responsibility for the lawful actions of his squad that day, as portrayed in his interview with CBS 60 Minutes. Today's agreement is completely consistent with everything he has always said. Which is that the decisions he made that day led to an outcome that was tragic and regrettable and he takes responsibility for them, but they were not criminal." ~~~ ~~~

The Question Is Not 'Electability,' but 'Re-electability'
Republican internecine squabbles this primary season seem to turn on the vying candidates' respective electability against incumbent Barack Obama. But if even uber-liberal New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has finally awakened to President Obama's arrogance, what does it say about his electability?
It's understandable that a lib would take so long to turn on the messiah, having invested so much in his presidency. But I wonder whether these people ever realize how late they are to the party and how utterly devoid of profundity their belated epiphanies are.
Dowd starts off her latest column describing Obama's opening appearance at a fundraiser at the Apollo in Harlem: "For eight seconds, we saw the president we had craved for three years: cool, joyous, funny, connected."
Unless you are a liberal utopian, such as my friend Mark Levin describes in his latest masterpiece, "Ameritopia," you wouldn't place so much faith in one deliberately mysterious man to usher in a new, unspecified era, and you especially wouldn't hold on to the painfully unrealistic hope that after three years, this man will finally present himself to be someone he has never been.
Savor a few of the tardy revelations Dowd has now come to see with pungent clarity: ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Middle America Longs for Conservatives To Stand Up To Liberal Bullying
I wish Republican politicians would have faith in the largely conservative electorate and not behave as though they'll make themselves unelectable unless they pander to Generic Moderate. Who is that guy, anyway? Have you ever met him?
Recently, we've seen a few examples of the liberal narrative's rearing its oppressive head and starkly different reactions to it. The first was Mitt Romney's reportedly telling The Wall Street Journal that as a wealthy person, he thinks he lacks the credibility to aggressively push tax cuts. Mitt is also looking timid about releasing his tax returns. He needs to fight back -- consistently -- instead of surrendering to the liberal narrative that success is evil. Mitt should take a lesson from Newt Gingrich on counterpunching against false liberal charges and innuendo.
Newt put on a clinic in his defiant response to moderator Juan Williams' racially charged questions during the Fox News GOP debate in South Carolina.
I honestly like Juan Williams and believe, based on observing him over the years, that he's a decent human being with a good heart. But for whatever reason, regrettably, he was wearing race on his sleeve that evening, and his race-baiting line of questions, in my opinion, was indefensible.
Juan first tried to lay a race trap for Rick Santorum when asking him whether the time "has come to take special steps to deal with the extraordinary level of poverty afflicting one race of Americans." ~~~
