 Rush says what I've been saying all along.... |
Resident Skeptic |
| Quote: | Trump was a sitting duck for this kind of stuff." You've got to remember, you've got to understand that they do this to every Republican nominee. They did it to John McCain. The New York Times ran a story about how he had an affair with somebody way back. I don't even remember the details. They did it to Newt Gingrich in the 2012 primaries. They went out and claimed that Newt's ex-wife claimed that he did this to his third ex-wife and the second ex-wife was mad, and the first ex-wife wanted to get...
It was so bad that Newt, if you remember in the South Carolina primary, John King of CNN opened the debate asking Newt to explain all this philandering and stuff, and his ex-wifes. And Newt just destroyed the guy on the basis that how dare you denigrate what we are doing here by bringing it up anonymously like this. Newt got three standing ovations in three-minute answer. And then John King tried to say, "Hey, the story is out there. They reported over there."
"Don't do that, John. You chose to open this debate with this filth. You chose to do it. Don't try to blame this on other people." My point is, they did it to Mitt Romney, and I'm gonna keep saying this until some of you lug heads get the picture. Mitt Romney? You will not find a finer human being no matter how you define "fine human being" -- morality, virtue, manners, nice guy, harmless -- than Mitt Romney. And look what they did to him!
They had people believing that he was cruel to animals. They had people believing that Mitt Romney didn't care when the wives of people who worked for him got cancer, that he didn't run in to help. He didn't increase their health benefits. He had no compassion for the families of people that worked for him whatsoever. Then they ran a story how he bullied some kid and pulled his hair or whatever in prep school, for crying out loud, if you remember that.
They are going to do what they're doing to Trump to every Republican nominee, particularly now, when they have nothing to promote Hillary Clinton on. They can't promote her on the basis that people love her, that people love her ideas and her policies. This is a campaign that the media has to make Trump more disliked than Hillary is. That's why this looks like a race to the bottom, and that's because the media, the best way that they know to get Hillary elected is to make Trump a bigger negative that she than she is because there aren't any positives.
Okay. So Donald Trump, 30 years an A-list celebrity, 30-years, wildly rich, wildly famous, he's owned the Miss Universe pageant, he's been surrounded by beautiful women all over the world, 30 years. And not once in those 30 years has any of them ever claimed that he octopused 'em and he assaulted 'em, not once. Nope, not until three weeks ago before the presidential election.
For 30 years Donald Trump's been all over the world, all over the country, he's hosted TV shows. Not once did anybody say he was a racist pig, until he began to run for president on the Republican ticket and then here came the catcalls. You know what some conservative media are now saying? Conservative media, folks. This is why we can't win. Our own side doesn't even realize what they're doing. So we have some conservative media out there who hate Trump. You know who they are; I know who they are.
So here come these allegations by these women on Trump, and these certain areas of conservative media don't even question it, they accept it. And now you know what the narrative from conservative media is? Damn that Trump, damn it, now he's just revived this whole idea that conservatives conduct a War on Women.
Now, what's wrong with that thinking? That thinking is exactly the way the left thinks. So here we have elements of conservative media -- this is very problematic -- thinking the same way liberals think, looking to make the same points liberals make.
There is no War on Women and Donald Trump is not an officer, commanding general, or grunt private in said nonexistent war. But here comes conservative media reviving this whole narrative, thinking the way the left does and advancing the premise. Sometimes I think conservative media's a circular firing squad. I don't think there's any question about it.
I mentioned Newt Gingrich. I want to go back just to try to illustrate this point. This was January 19th, 2012, in Charleston, South Carolina. It was a Republican primary debate. John King the moderator for CNN.
KING: Mr. Speaker, I want to start with that this evening. As you know your ex-wife gave an interview to ABC News and another interview at the Washington Post and this story has now gone viral on the internet. In it she says that you came to her in 1999 at a time when you were having an affair. She says you asked her, sir, to enter into an open marriage. Would you like to take some time to respond to that?
GINGRICH: No, but I will.
CROWD: (cheers)
GINGRICH: I think -- I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office, and I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that.
Now three weeks out from a presidential election we're learning all this stuff that Donald Trump's been doing that nobody's ever seen before and nobody's ever testified to before? This stuff -- you know, the Democrats and the media used to tell us that the politics of personal destruction needed to come to a screeching halt. That all these negative ads and negative stuff, it was horrible, it was ruining our politics, voter turnout was being suppressed. We need to raise ourselves up, they said. |
It does not matter who the GOP nominee would be. Cruz, Kasich, Ted...they'd all be getting hammered. The difference is, Trump is the only one I've ever seen who would keep coming back swinging.
From all I'm seeing I believe the election is rigged. I'm not saying we should stay home on election day. But Trump would actually have to be 10 points ahead in every swing State to wind up winning the "official" tally be one point.
We are now past the point we can keep our country without civil disobedience at least.
The American Revolution actually began in 1765. For eleven years the Colonies did everything short of shedding blood in order to force the British to negotiate. They did not want to separate from Great Britain. They simply wanted the British Constitution to be upheld. Some people don't realize this. Even after the Revolutionary War began in 1775, there still was resistance to the idea of independence. But then a man traveled from England in 1774 by the name of Thomas Paine. He wanted to observe the situation in the Colonies for himself. After much consideration, he penned booklet called "Common Sense", reasoning that it was futile for the Colonists to try to remain part of the Empire, and that forming an entirely new country was the only solution. This booklet had a profound impact on the Revolution. John Adams said, "If it had not been for the pen of Paine, Washington would have raised his sword in vain."
Pastors, it is time for action. No, it is not quite time to pick up the sword. But it is time to educate yourself and others. Yes, some will say that "Jesus is coming and we should focus on winning souls blah blah blah". But do you really expect anyone to start evangelizing more than the mere 2% of Evangelicals who have ever shared their faith with anyone? Are we really going to reason away our duty? Was not the majority of Colonists made up of Christians who also believed in the second coming of Christ? Somehow, they did not see that as a reason not to resist tyranny. Somehow they did not see the need to choose between winning souls and preserving liberty. Who do we think we are? Are we better than they? If Jesus chooses not to return for another 100 years, your posterity will be living in a hell you might have prevented.
It is time to elect our own, right from our pews. But our focus must not be to send them to Congress or the White House. Rather, we must send them to our State Houses and Governor's mansions. The Imperial Governors and Legislators loyal to Washington and the NWO must be replaced with those loyal to the Constitution, those who will fight for us.
Say what you will about Trump. He did not have to take on this head ache. He had nothing to gain by doing so. Everybody thought he'd drop out when the going got tough. But he didn't. Whatever flaws he might have, he is not afraid to fight back and for that he has my admiration. What about US, brothers? What kind of lifestyle altering inconvenience are you willing to put yourself through to save what took the spilling of the blood of thousands of patriots in order for you to have?
If God raised up men to start this country, then God certain will raise up men and women to save it.

The difference is in the present character of the potential leader. Newt was strong, had dealt with his past and had acumen. Donald Trump does not!!!
In fact, this week, instead of just disavowing and having contrition (even regarding the allegations) he had to add how he viewed one woman, considering her unattractive and therefore not worthy of his advances. Then, he goes farther down into his own egocentric abyss by saying how unaffected he was when Hillary walked in front of him. He did this, not to ovations applauding his strength in that moment, but to cat-calls from the people who are truly 'deplorable' as exampled by their reaction to the zinger on Hillary's "look" to Mr Trump.
While I appreciate Rush's defense and his completely accurate assessment of the media, the present reality does not reflect a change of mindset in Mr Trump. In fact, the way Mr Trump has responded to attacks is more 5th grade than leader of a nation. It does not take character to amass a fortune and create a fandom - evidenced by either candidate. But, and this is our problem, we are about to be led by a person who is more bully than brave, cheap than chosen and (yes, I am saying it) deplorable rather than deliverable in leadership.

Impressive post Res!
It's unfortunate but it's true ...we have 2 types of Christian voters.
1. is a Patriot & eager to make a difficult decision to vote for a man who does not appear to line up with our goals, morals & principles.
These are the types who stood against the British regime to make a new America.
2. is the type who are willing to take a gamble on keeping things moderately the same by leaving corrupt leadership in place. This appetite for apathy lets them digest the state of division & justify their neutral vote as if it had a chance to affect a different political outcome.
The problem is we cannot, as hopeful as we are, help them to understand how that life under tyranny will last way beyond the next 4 or 8 years.
Social engineering has always failed, even when it has become a way of life as in China, Russia & the Middle East.
It is a vote based on principle rather than logic!
