Quote:

Senator McCain's speech yesterday turned off anybody who believes in conservative principles, and everybody who's sick and tired of pandering to the hate-America crowd. If you don't like calling them the hate-America crowd, just pandering to the people who think that we're the problem in the world. We are the solution! The United States is the solution to the problems of the world. We are not the cause. And pandering to these people even if it's the League of Democracies, doing so by accepting their intonations on global warming and all these other left-wing issues to show that, "Well, we're big and we're powerful, but we're not going to squash and stomp you. To show you how cooperative we are, we want you to like us and so forth." So what's the point? What's the point of pandering to this bunch if what's in our best interests is subordinated? And I'm telling you, it is not in our best interests to have a president of the United States that accepts the hoax of manmade global warming and the "repairs," the "fixes" because it's economic devastation and it is loss of freedom. It is loss of liberty, and it is expansion of government.

No serious conservative, either, wants to close Guantanamo Bay and give terrors continual constitutional rights. There is no conservative that wants to do this! No serious conservative wants to empower the federal bureaucracy to run private industries, which, when you strip it all away, is what global warming is ultimately about: federal bureaucracies to run private industries. No serious conservative believes we need to create more international organizations that empower them to make decisions about American sovereignty. We don't need a League of Democracies! We need the United States of America leading, not subordinating, not pandering. I don't know how many of you have been convinced that Senator McCain is serious about homeland security. I don't mean Iraq. I mean securing the border, which he's opposed for 24 years. I don't know how many people are convinced about this. Close Gitmo? Interrogate the enemy to prevent attacks on us? Let me try to explain it this way in my remaining brief broadcast moments here before the break. McCain is in the worst position to take advantage of the internal fighting on the Democrat side, born of Operation Chaos.

If the GOP had a nominee who had a consistent record -- and I know "if" is for children. I'm just doing this to illustrate. If the Republican Party had a nominee who had a consistent record on conservative policies and principles, not just good here and maybe awful there; that candidate right now would be kicking the crap out of these leftists in the polls, because that candidate would be kicking the crap out of these people in the midst of their own infighting and pointing it out! That's the kind of candidate who inspires and unites. I know Senator McCain thinks he's going to unite and energize his base, but I don't know how much he really cares about the base, after having heard that speech yesterday; talking about appealing to Europeans, closing Guantanamo Bay, managing the private sector. If that kind of talk is what he thinks is necessary to be elected, well, we'll just have to wait and see. Some might say his base is not us. Some might say his base is moderates and independents, and he cares a great deal about that base.

He will court that base lavishly. Now, the war on terrorism not only includes the battle of Iraq. It's broader than that. We're fighting worldwide terrorism. We have to deal with this enemy in Iran, Pakistan, Africa, and it's not clear how Senator McCain would do that. It's not clear how McCain would strengthen the military. I haven't heard enough about how he's going to deal with military spending, whether he's going to increase it. In many years that he was in Congress he spent far more time arguing for terrorist rights than increasing military spending, such as this, "We've gotta stop torture, no waterboarding," and all of this sort of thing. I mention all this because I want you to know that I understand how everybody feels after that speech yesterday, and it is problematic. I'll tell you what I'm bouncing off of. We had a call in the last hour who said that Operation Chaos is going to give us the exact opposite of what we want, and I disagree with that.

Operation Chaos is providing a golden opportunity here to wipe out both these candidates and this party, because the Democrat Party is exposing itself once and for all in full color, 24/7, for what it is. It can't unify anybody. It's filled with a bunch of racists, sexists, liars, insincere, inexperienced, incompetent people. That's what the Democrat Party is showing everybody -- and Operation Chaos was designed to make sure that Obama did not get momentum after Ohio and Texas, which would have caused party leaders to lean on the Clintons even more. They probably wouldn't have gone out, who knows, but that's the past and we can't rewrite it. The fact is, she won Ohio and Texas. That has motivated her to stay in, and now you've got Clinton threatening to kneecap the guy, do a "Tonya Harding." Well, the Clinton campaign. Barack is now responding. This is a golden, golden, golden opportunity -- and I, frankly, I scour the news. As you people know, I am relentless in show prep. Most of my waking hours are spent paying attention, and I'll be damned if I can find out from anybody at a high level of leadership in the Republican Party just what the hell they stand for today.

McCain, American Exceptionalism, Democrats, and Operation Chaos

Did you ever think Rush Limbaugh would be talking like this?
