Mark Levin’s opening rant from Wednesday, the day after the second Presidential debate was great. Below is a partial transcription.
Obama did his very best last night and it wasn’t good enough. I’m going to tell you folks something, the debates don’t matter anymore. They do not matter anymore. There’s no way Obama can explain away his record. He’s the incumbent, these are his policies, his taxes, his regulations, his deficits, what can he say? Obama is now a known quantity. He’s cornered. Cornered with his own record, his own propaganda, his back is against the wall, so he lies. He lies about job creation, he lies about his role in oil and gas production, he lies about cutting taxes multiple times for small businesses and the middle class, he lies about cutting the debt, he lies about his concern for the middle class.
But Obama isn’t trusted anymore, see? You don’t trust him. More and more people understand that he’s lying. Because his statements don’t conform with your own reality, your own experiences now.
Obama also lies about Romney and Romney’s plan. Romney doesn’t want to deny women medical coverage and treatment. Romney isn’t proposing a five trillion dollar tax cut for the rich. Romney isn’t proposing raising taxes on the middle class by two thousand dollars a year. And Romney isn’t proposing leaving the elderly without medical coverage. Furthermore, Romney isn’t hiding his assets overseas, he’s not evading his federal tax payments. Romney is not writing off 40 percent of the people in this country. (Obama’s) twisting his words and taking them out of context.
And then there is the other question, what will Obama do if he’s elected for the next four years? And when pressed on how he would create new jobs, how he would create new businesses, how he would expand the economy, Obama has no ideas, he has no plans, he has no answers.
This election is not really between Obama and Romney, it’s between Obama and us!
What kind of country do we want?
The fact is, if Obama had been a more moderate president, he would be hard to beat. But the fact is, Obama has unleashed the government. He’s waging war against our heritage, he’s waging war against our country, he’s waging war against our individual sovereignty. In short, Obama is attacking our unalienable rights.
Now you see folks, enough of us are still rugged individuals. Now, what do I mean by that? We are self-reliant and independent. We don’t need or want the government to subsidize us, and we don’t like being pushed around, including by bureaucrats and politicians. We don’t like being told we’re selfish when we’re taxed to death. We don’t like being told we owe our success to the government, when we owe our success in spite of the government. We don’t like our property being confiscated from us, and given to those who haven’t earned it.
We’re not progressives, we’re not statists, we’re not Fabians, we are Americans.
Obama doesn’t understand us.
Obama doesn’t respect us.
Obama doesn’t listen to us.
Again, this contest isn’t about Obama versus Romney, it’s about Obama versus We the People.
I’ll say it again, there is something going on in this country. There is a sense of urgency. Which I believe is growing because we know exactly what Obama has planned for us in the next four years.
Just as the colonists met in their homes and pubs and churches, I believe across this great nation, many of you are doing the same thing.
We take this personally. This is our country, this is our government, our children’s futures are at stake, our lifestyle’s at stake. That’s our Constitution, our Declaration of Independence.
Debate or no debate, (nothing’s going to change) unless we change who is in Washington DC.
