Read below what your nutty Republican neighbors and relatives are listening to.
You know, Rush & Co. are successfully getting their right-wing base terribly scared and angry and riled up, but they're going to lose. They're going to lose bad, sooner or later. Know why? Because there is a health care crisis in America, and people are seeing their insurance premiums go up 10-30% per year (if they're lucky enough to be insured), and they're not morons. People are going to realize, if they haven't already, that the status quo is failing them. They are not going to see those insurance bills, those medical bills, and keep believing that old saw that the United States has the best health care in the world.
And then they're going to recall that the GOP has proposed no substantive health reform for the past 8 years to fix our broken system. And as soon as somebody does come along, the GOP tries to kill reform. That's what the American people are gonna remember: the Republicans in Congress were obstructionist do-nothings and scare-mongers, the lot of them.
The Rush Limbaugh Show

Transcript:
| CALLER: Rush, you know what I really believe? I believe they're trying to get rid of the old people so they can insure the illegal aliens for their voting base. RUSH: Well, you know, we can guess what they're doing. I mean there are a number of theories. Let's just take your proposition and discuss it hypothetically. They want to get rid of the old people. It's fairly clear from looking at details in their plan that they are not going to provide lifesaving health care for people with certain diseases at a certain age because of cost. Now, from that can we project that they want old people to die? Well, let's hypothetically say, yeah, they want old people to die. Then, okay, why? Well, I can think of two reasons. A, it would free up a whole lot of money to spend buying votes elsewhere. Secondly, it would save a whole lot on Social Security. And if they are looking to save money to spend it elsewhere in society in cultivating younger people to become wards of the state, then it all makes sense. So now the question becomes, okay, we've discussed this hypothetically, and I guarantee you people listening to this radio show and you and me discussing, "This is not America, what do you mean, killing people?" This is Soylent Green, this is Logan's Run? What are we talking about here? People don't want to believe this. |
CALLER: I do believe it. RUSH: I did too, I totally believe it. It's in the bills. The motivation is what we're speculating about, but Obama himself said on national television, when asked a question about a healthy 100-year-old woman getting a pacemaker, he said, no, you know, really, give her a pain pill. |
