Why shouldn't the American people decide who is right?

That's all well and good..but what Americans? The Middle Class who work for their money, pay a helluva lot in taxes, only to see it frittered away on erectile dysfunction studies for middle aged overweight men? (Apparently, over $1 mill of stimulus money was spent on two studies of erectile dysfunction in overweight men. What the heck?)

Or those folks who have lived on welfare for three generations and don't want the gravy train cut off. (And by the way, when I talk disparagingly about these 3rd generation welfare loafers, I'm not trying to say that all the blame goes to them. Much of the blame goes to our government, because surely someone in government circiles should have known that if you pay people for doing nothing - whatever their race, creed or color - it will be very hard to all of a sudden stop paying them for doing nothing. Because by that time they will be unable to do anything for themselves!)

CLINTON: The Republican position that tends to prevail in these hot primaries was expressed by the gentleman who beat Senator Lugar who says, "I'm just against compromise. We need to stop it. It's weak. It's foolish. Our views are irreconcilable. We have to force the American people to choose which one of us is right." If that prevails, we're toast. We'll look like a Bush-league country.

RUSH: He's talking about Mourdock, and Mourdock could not have said this any better. I'm against compromise. We need to stop it. It's weak. It's foolish. Our views are irreconcilable, conservatism. Why compromise? What is there, for example, about what Obama's done that we want to compromise with? All the Democrats ever mean by compromise is us caving on our principles and agreeing with them. They never compromise with us. They haven't even submitted a budget in over a thousand days. The Democrats don't care to compromise. Mourdock knows this. And here's Clinton, all worried about what this makes the United States sound like. To who? A bunch of western European socialists who can't even manage their own countries? Who cares? Mourdock, everybody else, trying to save the country. Now here's Clinton attempting to be helpful to Obama.

CLINTON: I'm not speaking for the White House, but I think you could tax me at a hundred percent and you wouldn't balance the budget. We are all gonna have to contribute to this, and if middle-class people's wages were going up again and we had some growth in the economy, I don't think they would object to going back to the tax rates that obtained when I was president.

RUSH: Right. So Clinton thinks you'd be happy to have your taxes raised, too, along with the rich people Obama wants to wipe out. This is undercutting Obama big time.
