Rush Was Just Praising Ron Paul's Trillion Dollar Plan (Sort of)

[Zatch]

Praising him for being the first to propose something like this although he said Paul was stealing ideas from him and others or something.

He seemed pretty positive about it. Someone will have to post a tube. :toady:

I'm glad he's giving some positive feedback. I'd like to see a tube.

Limbaugh Endorses Paul Plan--Then Claims Credit

I was listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio when a caller asked what was a workable plan for the Republicans when one of them takes office in 2013. Limbaugh said that the caller wouldn't believe he was going to say it, but Ron Paul's plan was the only one that would work and that no one else was talking about real cuts and downsizing of the government. He went on to explain the plan a bit and was very positive about it without saying anything bad about Dr. Paul.

Limbaugh also commented that the media would probably use the ideas to say that Dr. Paul was a kook and that the other candidates would be afraid to agree with him. After all the positive comments about Dr. Paul and how the others weren't putting forward any real workable plans, including a comment about Romney's plan, saying that while it may be good, it isn't what we need, he then proceeded to take credit for the ideas. He said that he had been, for years, calling for spending to be rolled back and for many of the bureaucracies to be cut back if not eliminated.

So, while he did eventually take credit for the plan, he gave his endorsement without saying anything bad about the good doctor. I'm sure someone can find the audio or transcript to post it.

Assuming this happened around the 40 min part of the 3rd hour (when this was posted), then you can listen to it on this station, which is lagged one hour: http://player.streamtheworld.com/liveplayer.php?CALLSIGN=KBTKFM

That tube link doesn't yield anything. Other than the title that RP stole this from Rush, I don't see anything.

Ah, but this works: http://dailyrushbo.com/

Selected quotes:


"Ron Paul has a good idea"

"fooling around the margins isn't going to get it done... genuine big spending cuts are the ONLY thing that is going to bring us back"

"These are not really Ron Paul's ideas. On this program I myself have suggested freezing spending at 2008 levels. Let's freeze spending back to Clinton's years. Paul is stealing that idea. Cutting the EPA? We've long been an advocate of this...eliminating whole bureaucracies. But nobody on our side has ever seriously proposed this and Ron Paul is going to".


"Ron Paul is going to put it forward."

"We know that little chunks here and there are not going to make a dent ion the problem; it has to be serious."
"Romney has a 59 point program, it might be a good program, but it's not what's needed if we are going to save the country and preserve it as it has been for all of us since we were born."


"We [on this show] have called for everything that Paul is suggesting . He will be the first candidate to actually do so. It'll be interesting to see how they react to this. They might try to ignore it. No one's going to want to agree with him since it comes from Paul....... The EPA needs to be dialed back fast and big time; it's become it's own little fiefdom, and the FCC is getting close [to becoming a fiefdom too]."

Wow. This is going to be our week!

To do:
1. Promote blackthisout
2. http://phone.ronpaul2012.com / http://volunteers.rp2012.org
3. Kick ass @ debate

This could be the beginning of the momentum, the push we've been looking for.
DO NOT LET THE MOMENTUM SLOW

Its go time.

I think this underscores the fact THAT CONSERVATIVES WANT TO HEAR SPECIFICS FROM RON PAUL.

RUN-OF-THE-MILL CONSERVATIVES RESPOND WELL TO RON WHEN HE DEALS IN SPECIFICS AND NOT THEORIES.

I have been saying this for a long time:). Ron, please keep up with the specifics! Specifics, specifics, specifics!

Not always.

"Bring our troops home" is very specific. They booed him for that in '08.

I don't think "bring the troops home" is specific at all if you think about it.

it's specific if it's in the context of a discussion about afghanistan.
