DC Elites Tell You in Their Own Words What I've Been Telling You Since November 10th

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Let me tell you something here, folks, very quickly before we go to the thing I promised to do. The difference here at the moment is a lot of the Republican establishment -- the insiders, the Republicans who want to keep spending money -- see Newt as a disaster waiting to happen for THEM: For their futures, for their political opportunity, for their chance to win the Senate and the committee chairmanships and be in control of the money. But a large part of the Republican rank and file, a large part of the Republican base don't see Newt as the answer. That's not what's going on here. The Tea Party/Republican base voters are trying to send a message to the establishment, and Newt is the guy doing it.
The Tea Party, the Republican base know they've got nothing without the Republican Party. You can't go third party. This internecine stuff has gotta stop. Newt is articulating what the base thinks about our op-po-si-tion! Newt is telling the Republican establishment and the media and the consultants, "This is how we view the opposition! This is how we want you to view the opposition. This is how we want to campaign against the opposition. Now, you go find a candidate we can support! Don't give us somebody who's not gonna do this! Don't give us somebody who doesn't believe this. Don't give us some namby-pamby wimp who is scared that everything he does is gonna anger somebody.
"We are angry! You don't care about our anger? Well, we are angry, and we're on your team -- and what we want is somebody who is gonna represent us," and right now Newt is not getting these votes because there's a wild, uncontrollable desire for Newt Gingrich to be president. It's the message that he's sending. He is speaking for millions of Republicans here. They see the way Newt's doing things as a solution, and as a strategy for victory over Barack Obama. Newt's a messenger. There's nobody else on that dais at a Republican debate that does it this way. ...
