I was listening this morning from a Paultard, and loved how Rush handled him on the phone today. Thankfully, he put the conversation on his website.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2011/12/06/ron_paul_ain_t_the_tea_partyRUSH: All right, once again, let me bring some reason and sanity to all this. We just heard from a caller that the Tea Party is gonna support Ron Paul. This guy's not a Tea Party caller, he's a Ron Paul caller. I just went to the Gallup poll, dug deep inside the Gallup poll, the one I just told you that shows Gingrich over Romney 37-22.
Ron Paul is at 7% among Tea Party supporters. But there's more than that. The Tea Party is not the Ron Paul campaign. Ron Paul has nothing to do with the Tea Party, zilch, zero, nada. There is no way that you can back Ron Paul and also back Bachmann and Santorum. The reason is that Ron Paul's foreign policy has nothing in common with Tea Party foreign policy, nothing in common with Bachmann or Santorum foreign policy. Ron Paul did not start the Tea Party. Ron Paul is not the Tea Party.
Ron Paul blames America for 9/11. That's not what the Tea Party thinks. It's not what conservatives think.Now, there's some Tea Party activists that support Ron Paul,
but most don't, as is evidenced by the Gallup polls at 7%. But Ron Paul's foreign policy, there's nobody,
no other Republican running on that nomination dais up there in any of these debates that has a foreign policy that's anywhere near Ron Paul's. Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, Romney, none of them blame the United States for Iran nuking up. None of them blame the United States for 9/11. I love the way these Ron Paul supporters try to tell us who is or who isn't conservative, when Paul is a Libertarian. Ron Paul's a Libertarian, used to belong to that party but knows he can't win as a Libertarian so he comes over and joins the Republican Party.
He says he could relate to and understand the Occupiers. The Tea Party doesn't think that."Boy, Rush, now you've really done it. Now you've run around and attacked Ron Paul." I didn't attack Ron Paul. I'm simply telling you what is. There's a big difference here. I was the one who was attacked. My callers are gunning for me today, folks. I am a shaken host here. Not stirred, but shaken. Hanging tough. But
none of the GOP, apart from Ron Paul, blames Wall Street for the recession. Ron Paul does. Where is this common ground between
Ron Paul and Rick Santorum and Bachmann? Have you seen Santorum's face when Ron Paul's describing his foreign policy? Santorum's waving his arms trying to get in there and respond to it. Who's next? I can't believe what Snerdley is finding out there today.
