Sometimes, You Just Gotta Laffer
Rush Limbaugh Show, by Rush Limbaugh

Original Article

Posted By:JoElla Bee, 11/8/2012 10:22:25 PM

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Here's the Art Laffer sound bite. Cookie found this. I tell you, earlier today I'm watching Fox News and Art Laffer's on, and he says, "Oh, Martha, I've never been more optimistic in my life." And coupled with everything else, I was reduced to almost uncontrollable giddy laughter. LAFFER: I'm very, very hopeful about what's gonna happen, Martha. I think this was the election not to win. We have the 2013 Taxmageddon that I think is gonna lead to a very sharp drop in economic activity and, you know, looking at 2014 I'm very excited about how the elections

Love Art Laffer and his curve. And I'm trying to be optimistic. I am just so bummed out. I feel like I have been hit by a Mack truck. I really feel bad for Romney. He did a great job and it really looked like we were going to do it. I'm so afraid for my country, and I admit it, for myself. I'm scared sh**less.

I truly believe that we would have won the election but for Sandy.. the polls moved just enough for Obama to win.

I am convinced this was not accident, or misfortune. It was an act of God.

The problem is that while politically Obama's continued failure may eventually help the country (I'm not sure how), there are real people with families who are going to suffer immeasurably. Many already have for the past 4 years. Now we're going to drag it on for another 4 years.

Sorry Mr. Laffer. There is nothing funny here. Nothing at all.


Reply 4 - Posted by: King of all trolls, 11/8/2012 10:57:58 PM     (No. 9001256)

Laffer is spot on. The only way to deal with the second Dear Leader's second regime is to laugh at it. As an aside, laughing at liberals makes them absolutely apoplectic. Laughter is the only sober response to absurdity.


Reply 5 - Posted by: Not your typical New Yorker, 11/8/2012 11:07:18 PM     (No. 9001268)

Obama is the dog that chased and finally caught the car, now the shatstorm that follows will belong to him and the despicable democrat party.

The GOP should not give a inch, let them own what happens next, lock, stock and barrel.


Reply 6 - Posted by: Hugh Akston, 11/8/2012 11:28:05 PM     (No. 9001314)

While Laffer may be right, I concur with #s 1 & 3. I, along with many others, have been on the wrong end of this, much to our detriment and our families futures. I don't need another 4 years of steep economic decline. This election should have been like 1980. I shouldn't have to wait until 2016 and hope for, what?

What are we supposed to do; be like the Russians and stay drunk on cheap vodka and lower our life expectancy to 60 or less just so we can "ease the pain"?

Maybe Limbaugh and Laffer can laugh. I can't.


Reply 7 - Posted by: Objectivity, 11/8/2012 11:33:20 PM     (No. 9001324)

I do agree with Laffer .... Team 44, the NYTimes, WPost, B'berg, NBC, etc. are the ones facing the steep slope with the obviously wrong plan & delusional hero worship agitprop news coverage.

Maybe Team 44 can recruit New Jersey Governor Christie to head FEMA

As your parents probably told you, you made your bed, now lie in it. Obama was re-elected, and the whole Country will suffer, and many of them will be those who voted for him. They will rue the day because they stand to lose jobs, incur a depression and/or inflation, definitely incur far high health insurance premiums, and on and on. I fully expand whole companies to move production out of the USA, if they don't move out entirely.
Its already begun as businesses are learning exactly what is in the Obamacare law and they cannot live with it.


Reply 9 - Posted by: lcasal, 11/8/2012 11:59:53 PM     (No. 9001366)

I hope the people who voted for Obama and his policies really do put it together when the real suffering begins. I hope they are smart enough! Based on what we have seen so far, they may just look for someone else to blame. These people are just not very bright.

So...#2 "GOD" is a democrat after all? I didn't realize "GOD" was registered to vote. Why would god act on obama's behalf when all he had to do would be to will it.

We take it like the founders: with our life and fortunes, for the future of our beloved country.

Face it, Romney would have just been a slower boil of the frog. If we have to have this happen--and with half the country thinking 0bama's the guy, we do--then let's get it over with. Let's turn up the flame until the frog jumps out of the pot. Anything else is just a slow march to the inevitable. I'd rather fight myself, now, than leave it to my kids or my grandkids to do.

Let's roll!

So now we filled the arsonist's gas can. Great, they will get everything they want and that will show parasites and dreamers how wrong they were. Nifty unless the country goes into a super depression, because we ARE at Great Depression levels in many areas right now. Then there is the matter of a ACLU, Marxist, Supreme Court. All they will do is tear up the constitution and reinterpret laws and amendments into ways even the most paranoid Alex Jones fan can't imagine. Yeah, we sure lucked out.

I do have an evil thought that those who voted for him should get what they asked for.... but I also realize that Obama gives waivers to his pals.

Financially, we will be in horrid shape the next 4 years. My real concern is we will lose all freedoms to UN control of our lives. If the house can stop it... we'll see.

I think some folks have forgotten who initiates Laws in this Country. According to the Constitution the House does. Then it goes to the Senate then to the President for signature.

I laughed hysterically when Harry Reid claimed that the Republicans were blocking progress. Doesn't he have an IQ high enough to look in a mirror? The Senate has blocked every move made by the Republican House.

The Democrats have not come up with a budget for over 3 years, yet they have blocked every budget that the Republicans came up with. So I defy Hypocrite Reid to state who the blocker is here.

The Senate Democrats should be ashamed of themselves and fire Harry from his position. But since Democrats have no clue what Shame is they won't. I think they are in Ted Kennedy's car.

Hit the button too quick. I meant to add, at the bottom of Limbaugh's article are two stories. One business man fired 22 employees on Wednesday morning, and Boeing is now going to lay of 30% of its employees.

Are the liberals proud yet?

Holder begins gun-control push

The Justice Department is taking the first steps toward carrying out President Obama’s executive actions on gun control. Attorney General Eric Holder on Friday released three proposals to strengthen the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which was one of the 23 actions ordered by Obama last week to tackle gun violence. The proposed regulations would give local law-enforcement agencies access to the gun-sale database that is maintained by the FBI. The rules would also preserve records of denied weapons sales indefinitely. The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act already requires federal background checks for gun purchases, but not every firearm

Liberal Host Thom Hartmann Says
‘Second Amendment Was Passed
To Protect Slavery’

It’s a popular talking point with conservatives that the purpose of the Second Amendment is to act as a check on a tyrannical government, our own government. According to liberal radio and TV host Thom Hartman, though, the original purpose of the amendment was to act as a check on rebellious slaves, which might just put a kink in Gun Appreciation Day founder Larry Ward‘s theory about Martin Luther King. On Hartmann’s The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann, Hartmann laid it out. “Gun-crazy America is arming up,” he said. ”While Vice President Biden and his gun task force think of

Faced with increasingly stringent benchmarks—the government´s new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards require a passenger vehicle fleet that averages 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025—carmakers are taking another approach to achieving better fuel mileage: shaving weight off vehicles by experimenting with lighter materials. Automobiles have long been made from steel—a very strong, but heavy material. Now manufacturers are experimenting with new materials—ranging from aluminum to carbon fiber composites to metal alloys—to help companies reach the ambitious fuel efficiency standards.

Author and economist Walter Williams told The Daily Caller that the purpose of the Second Amendment is to protect Americans from their own government — not simply to ensure hunting rights. Williams, a syndicated columnist and the John M.

Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman threatened Monday afternoon that he would file articles of impeachment against President Barack Obama if he institutes gun control measures with an executive order. Stockman warned that such executive orders would be “unconstitutional” and “infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.” “I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment,” Stockman said in a statement.

My comment is, I don´t think the Obama administration is really interested in protecting people from gun violence. I think their real agenda is to bully conservatives and the NRA. You know, put the screws to the bitter clingers. That certainly seems to fit their template of political revenge. Rush: You know, I think you are on to something.

Many of the responses I’ve gotten to my article on the Republican plan to use the debt ceiling as leverage to force Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to pass a budget have been along these lines: If it is against the law for Congress not to pass a budget (and it is), and if Harry Reid is violating that law (and he is), then why can’t something be done about it? Why can’t Reid be charged with something? Or perhaps a lawsuit be brought? The answer is the law requiring Congress to pass an annual budget, the Congressional Budget Act

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
