RUSH: Snerdley reminded me of something that I saw on TV today, and it was a flash glance. I looked up in the midst here of show prep. It was either Fox or MSNBC had a graphic up there, and I’m not sure what the question was, but it was something about: If you are planning on switching parties, to which party would you switch? I mean, it couldn’t have been that because the Democrat Party was at the top, and that just doesn’t jibe with any of the generic ballot polling or whatever. The point of it was that whatever the question was, more people in this poll found favor with a third-party called a Tea Party than with the Republican Party. I warned you people about this months ago — and, by the way, the reporting on this was how wonderful the Tea Party is. I want to warn you again: If you start seeing news coverage along the lines of the Tea Party becoming a third party not just a protest group, you are going to all of a sudden see a reversal in the way it is covered.
I think that’s what it was. I think that’s what it was. If a third-party formed for the Tea Party, more people would leave the Republican Party for it than would leave the Democrat Party for it, which is why whoever was reporting this was ecstatically excited. So if you see this, this is how you will know it’s a bad idea for us. If they start praising the Tea Party in the context of it becoming a third party, you will know.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: By the way, folks, in this third party business let me remind you of something. The Democrats have a third party. Do you know what it’s called? The Green Party. It’s Ralph Nader’s party. They had a third party. Do you ever see them promoting it? Do you ever see the Drive-By Media or anybody else supporting the expansion of the Green Party? They never promote it in this country, which just goes to show you what they’re doing when they promote a third party (i.e, Tea Party) in the Republican side of things.
