Here are the latest summary of Rush and the latest essay by Jim Geraghty:

Your Rush Limbaugh Echo for Monday, 10/27/14

Opening: We need to quarantine Gov Chris Christie !
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#1: Once again, Christie folds and embarrasses Obama

Just before another election, we have an embrace moment with Obama and Christie. The Regime wants
to be in charge of all quarantines, not the states. They want The Ebola Czar to make the decisions.

Remember CBS Nancy Stodderman? She wanted to go around unfettered and not live like little
people. When are we going to find out the rest of the scandal? Reporters withhold details for their
book for when Obama leaves office.

Sharyl Attkisson documented in her book how Drive-by Media props up Obama and choses stories based
on how it helps or hurts him; not covering some stories. A classified document was hacked onto her
computer to bring up later, if needed, but it has been removed.

You didnt build that says the laughable Elizabeth Warren; and so now Ms Clinton says the same thing
to appeal to the rage-filled Democrat base. The Leftist base is profoundly demoralized: no jobs, no
equality, wife-beating in the NFL, and no joy anywhere. You would be tooif everything you wanted
happened for six years and nothing is fixed!

They all waited for a messiah and Obama showed up as a blank slate which Leftist embraced. Where did
it get them? It is all a mess. My point is: It would serve the GOP well to understand what they are up
againstHillary knows that businesses create jobs, but she has to say it for the base.

NY-Post writes about Obamas secret agenda after his term, staying in DC. Unlike Republican presidents,
he will not exit. If the next president tries to unravel his Leftist-Agenda, Obama will raise a ruckus.
>>> The Social-Agenda is all Progressive-Leftists live for!

ED: The term Leftist-Progressives I addedRush just says, these people.

_____________________________________________________________
Segment#2: Arm in arm, once again, right before the election

CDC used to say states should come up with their Ebola policy. Now, that is out the window. What are
the travel restrictions, coming to USA from Africa?

What is the point in doctors going to Africa to help, and then not allow checking when they come back?
Do they believe helping stop Ebola or do they not?

Obama forces Chris Christie to do a U-turn and let the nurse leave NJ and go back home. Cuomo gave
in to Obama for NY, but Christie wants measures. One week before an election, and once again a
Republican governor wants to be arm-in-arm with the opposing party.

>>> We need to quarantine NJ Gov Chris Christie.

_____________________________________________________________
Seg#3: Radical Leftist Democrats demands payback from the rich

Media is beginning to spin their view of the Election: Republicans changed the voting boundaries, as if
this has never been done before. The AP wants to influence reporting. Its not because Democrats and
results are despised.

Mrs. Clinton was in MA for a campaign event and speaks to what Elizabeth Warren said, Factory owner,
you are just greedy and little people gave you success. You need to pay back. ((Clip-Rodham-Clinton:
Dont let anybody tell you that corporations boost jobs; the trickle-down has been tried and failed.
Someone asked what my husband brought to Washingtonhe brought arithmetic.)) It was not a gaffe,
rubbing her hands.

Trickle-down was from Reaganit was tried and it works!

For the first two years of the eight years of Reagan was recovery from Jimmy Carter; the next six years
were so robust that even the Clinton Adm could not bring it down. Now, they try to revise history.

It is because the Republican Party doesnt champion those events. There is a golden opportunity for
Republican hopefuls to explain. Liberalism doesnt need to be made personal, no need to attack
Obama: (1) why Liberalism isnt working, (2) what to do instead. Republican Party is not
communicating and Mrs. Clinton is taking advantage of that.

She knows this is all liesher base demands it.

July 2012, Obama wanted to get on the bandwagon ((Clip-Obama: They didnt build that.))
>>> They tried to weasel out of the comment, but he said it too.

_____________________________________________________________
Seg#4: We are in the 27
th
year of busy-broadcast-moments

Caller: Someone starts a business and it grows to employ many.
Liberals demonize the successful and traditional paths to success. The government built successful
businesses? They feed the insanity of their base, and try to shape the minds of voters.

Twenty years ago, a Democrat would say something asinine and we would laugh and believe no one
would buy it. Look at the difference today. Mrs Clinton back then would be a national joke and be
tossed from consideration. Now, she has to say it and it is not funny anymore. People believe nonsense
on the Left.

>>> Argue with a fool and people might confuse who is whom.

From the Rush Limbaugh Morning Update: "Accommodations"

Some of the terrorists still housed at Club Gitmo have begun a protest over what they call a violation of
their religion. Prison officials have instituted a policy of using female prison guards to move them
around.

The protest is really severe. Some of these high-value detainees are refusing to meet with their
Pentagon-appointed defense lawyers until they get their way.

The terrorists claim to be devout Muslims. They say their religious beliefs prohibit physical contact with
women not related to them. Unless, of course, that contact includes blowing them up, or forcing them
to die on hijacked airplanes, or stoning them to death for following a religion other than Islam.

These guys, who demand no physical contact with non-related women, are the same guys who tell their
followers theyll get 70 virgins in heaven, as a reward for their terrorist acts. Non-related virgins,
presumably.

Among those protesting is none other than Khalid Sheik Mohammad, mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist
attacks. His Pentagon-appointed lawyer says they arent demanding anything new, they just want to go
back to how it was when his clients religious objections to non-related women were accommodated.
You know, we bend over backwards to accommodate, respect, and treat the terrorists with politically
correct behavior, while their pals continue beheadings, suicide bombings, and other outrageous attacks
on the west. Perhaps, its time we stop accommodating their evil. Maybe?

Quote Gems from Rush Limbaugh dot com:

"We may be on the verge here of what I will call 'Ebola Without Borders.' How uncanny or ironic is it
that a guy from Doctors Without Borders ends up bringing Ebola to New York City, since arguably
Obama's policy of a nation without borders brought it here in the first place?"

"Today we have a little treat here at the EIB Southern Command. We have six grand prize winners from
a former Two If By Tea sweepstakes. One of the greatest prizes a human being can win in any contest: A
trip to the EIB Southern Command and an opportunity to watch this program from the other side of the
glass."

"We have Doctors Without Borders. We have Ebola Without Borders, and now we have a nation without
borders -- and the key to all this is: No borders."

"The hatchet-wielding suspect in New York, Zale Thompson, he was a graduate of the Teachers College
at Columbia. He was going to be teaching this radical crap that he posted."

"It is liberalism that threatens, not just the Democrats, but you and the country."

"You know what would be a really great thing to read? Black disappointment with liberalism threatens
Democrats. That's what needs to happen. Women disappointment with liberalism threatens Democrats.
Those are the headlines we need to be seeing."

"We'll be back here Monday, revved up, ready to go, with whatever happens between now and then. As
an added bonus, we'll tell you what to think about it all as well. See you then."

"If you sit in a classroom from kindergarten on up and you have a professor or teacher after teacher that
tells you what a rotten place this is because of the way we treated women, the way we treated blacks,
slavery, and what we did to the Native Americans and how the poor are getting poorer and the rich are
getting richer and the power base is stealing from the poor, what do you do? If that's all you hear from
the first moment of your exposure to formal education, quite likely you're going to end up filled with
rage and hatred."

"The true story of America is so glorious, the true story of this country and the true definition of
American exceptionalism are miraculous. They're wonderful. There's no intellectual reason to be
consumed with hatred or rage for this country, particularly over things that you have no hand in."

"The CDC posted a couple of tweets last night claiming that the doctor passed through the protocols at
the airport, he got through with flying colors. CDC was bragging about it before they knew the guy came
down with the disease, I think."


Morning Jolt . . . with Jim Geraghty

October 27, 2014

Ebola: The Great Uniter!

Finally, Americans are coming together . . . over isolation!

Those who are quarantined:
Kaci Hickox, a nurse placed under mandatory quarantine in New Jersey, went on CNN on
Sunday and criticized the "knee-jerk reaction by politicians" to Ebola, saying "to
quarantine someone without a better plan in place, without more forethought, is just
preposterous."
Hickox, an epidemiologist who was working to help treat Ebola patients in Sierra Leone,
has tested negative twice for Ebola and does not have symptoms, she said. She is
quarantined for 21 days at University Hospital in Newark.
"This is an extreme that is really unacceptable, and I feel like my basic human rights
have been violated," Hickox told CNN's Candy Crowley on "State of the Union."
She described herself as "physically strong" but "emotionally exhausted."
Our A.J. Delgado observed, Very strange to me that the same nurse is willing to go into EBOLA-infested
areas to help . . . now has a prob with being in a tent for a while . . . I mean, if you're the type of selfless
person who would go tend to Ebola-sufferers, why not agree to the quarantine if it can help others?
This episode tells us something about the governor of New York:
New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) on Sunday revised a controversial policy to
quarantine returning health-care workers from Ebola-stricken nations, under pressure
from the Obama administration and medical experts over the aggressive measures.
Elaborating on the procedures, Cuomo said health-care workers who have been in
contact with Ebola patients but do not show symptoms of the deadly virus can return to
their homes but will be forced to remain there while being monitored by state health
officials for symptoms. He said those being monitored can interact with family and
friends . . .
The Obama administration said Sunday that it had expressed concerns to Cuomo and
Christie about the unintended consequences of the quarantines and how they could
deter volunteers from deploying to West Africa, where the spread of Ebola continues to
rage.
We have let the governors of New York, New Jersey and other states know that we
have concerns with the unintended consequences . . . policies not grounded in science
may have on efforts to combat Ebola at its source in West Africa, said a senior
administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to comment on the
private discussions.
Obama says jump, Cuomo asks, how high?
Looks Like Nevada Democrats Are Sitting This Year Out. Who Else Will?
Let the great Jon Ralston lay out just how horrific the early-voting numbers are for Democrats out in
Nevada:
The turnout nightmare continues for Democrats, who tried to juice it on Saturday by
handing out Bill Clinton tickets at The Dooilttle Center in the heart of West Las Vegas. It
did not work. Republicans lose early vote by 42 votes out of 12,000 cast. Dems have six
more days to turn this around and/or hope for Election Day miracle.
Clark [County] totals with mail: 39, 982, GOP; 38,715, Dems; 15,851, others.
Before you start saying, So what? Registered Democrats are still ahead, note this county is the
Democrats stronghold in the state. They need a huge advantage here to balance out the GOP
advantages elsewhere.
Ralston notes, It's 42 percent for GOP and 41 percent for Dems, which means Republicans still 11
points over their registration and Dems 3 percent below theirs. How many different words can I find for
"disaster" for the Dems?
As we noted last week, some of this reflects the fact that there isnt a really big, competitive race on the
ticket this year -- theres no Senate race and Democrats effectively conceded the governors race. But
the meh mood among Democrats is going to have a potentially huge impact on one Democrat-held
U.S. House district, all of the non-governor statewide posts (currently held by Democrats), and races for
the state legislature.
And if Nevada Democrats are tuning out because theres no big statewide race on the ballot this year . . .
how about all these other states with neither a competitive Senate or Governors race this year?
Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Utah, and Washington are states holding only elections for U.S. House
of Representative seats, state legislative seats, and non-gubernatorial state officials.
Quite a few more states have gubernatorial or U.S. Senate races, but not particularly competitive ones:
Alabama, California, Mississippi, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee. (Some would argue places like
Texas and Ohio dont have competitive governors races anymore, either.) Are we going to see
Democratic turnout plummet in places like this, where there isnt a convenient Republican bogeyman to
motivate their grassroots to turn out?
The Magic Number for Holding a Lead until Election Day: 4 Percent
Looking back over Sean Trendes chart

. . . you can draw some conclusions that line up with what we would expect.
Candidates who lead by 4 percent or more in those closing two weeks are in really good shape. (This is
usually around the margin of error for most polls.)
Candidates who lead by 3 points are still in pretty good shape, but not quite in a position to pick out the
office drapes.
Candidates who lead by 2 points are in a much riskier position, it seems. Oddly enough, history suggests
its better to go into Election Day with a 1-point lead than a 2-point lead.
Candidates with a 1-point lead are, obviously, not really in a great spot.
As this e-mail arrives, were shifting from the 10--12 day column to the 7--9 day column. Both CBS News
and NBC News released a slew of polls on Sunday, shifting the Real Clear Politics averages -- but in most
cases, not by much.
Republican candidates with leads of 4 percentage points or more Sunday evening included Mitch
McConnell in Kentucky, Dan Sullivan in Alaska, Tom Cotton in Arkansas, and Bill Cassidy in the head-to-
head runoff matchup in Louisiana.
In Colorado, Cory Gardner leads by 2.8 percentage points, which would be rounded up to 3 on Trendes
chart.
In Iowa, Joni Ernst leads by 2.2 percentage points, which would be rounded down to 2. Uh-oh.
Heres the other side of the coin: In North Carolina, Democrat Kay Hagan leads by 1.6 percentage points,
which rounds up to 2. In New Hampshire, Jeanne Shaheen is at 2.2 percentage points.
Finally, Greg Ormans lead is the RCP average is now six-tenths of a percentage point.
Meet Dan Sullivan, Watch Some Pretty Alaska Scenery
The National Republican Senatorial Committee would like you to meet Dan Sullivan -- U.S. Marine
reservist, former Alaska Commissioner of Natural Resources, former Alaska attorney general, assistant
Secretary of State, and as he puts it, American by birth, Alaskan by choice.
I have heard through the grapevine theres a good chance that the next National Review cruise will go to
Alaska next summer.
ADDENDA: Heres my 6:15 a.m. or so appearance on Sundays Fox & Friends, discussing Fridays report
on large numbers of non-citizens voting in U.S. elections, and the increasingly strong case that our
government either cannot or chooses not to distinguish between U.S. citizens and non-citizens.
Kevin Williamson profiles St. Petersburg, Florida mayor Rick Baker, and discusses Republicans need to
address, compete, and develop a serious policy agenda for Americas cities. It dovetails well with my
point from last week that Republicans inability to compete at all in Portland -- not even 30 percent of
the vote -- is what crushes their hopes for a statewide win in Oregon, a pattern common in a lot of
states.
For history buffs, my old boss from my Congressional Quarterly days, John Bicknell, has written a new
nonfiction book, America 1844: Religious Fervor, Westward Expansion, and the Presidential Election that
Transformed a Nation. Publishers Weekly declared, Bicknell excels in bringing to life political figures
such as Sen. Henry Clay and President James K. Polk. In addition to exploring deep-rooted issues of
religious turmoil and westward expansion, Bicknell closely considers 1844s great problem: the future of
Texas. The territorys annexation, the resulting war with Mexico, and, eventually, the Civil War were set
in motion by Polks election to the presidency that year.
