yah, the truth does suck doesnt it?  Rush pedals lies, and he passes them off as fact saying he has an army of fact checkers, but it took me 1/2 an hour to disprove much of what Rush posted.  Rush is a windbag, and a lier, and a truth stretcher (at best).

ye spelt "libertarian" wrong

RUSH: Folks, we have poll data out today that has shocked the Democrat Party. It has shocked the Obama media. It has shocked and depressed the Obama White House and the Obama media. Nothing is as it's supposed to be. Now, I have been trying to tell you for the last month that Obama's polling numbers with women are bad. They are in trouble, and that's why all this is going on. It's worse than even I thought. In the New York Times, Obama's approval number is down to 41%! After all of this that was supposed to launch him to new heights! It is so bad, it is so funny, the Drive-By Media (for the first time that I can recall) is saying, "Well, these polls don't matter."

They are in utter denial. It's their own poll, and it's not just the New York Times. There is a Washington Post poll that's just as shocking and just as devastating. There is other polling data along with news. A bunch of people are starting to look at the employment numbers (and/or unemployment numbers) that the regime is releasing and comparing it to the economic growth numbers, and some people are scratching their heads and saying, "Now, wait a minute. Okay, if we're producing and creating all of these new jobs, where's the growth? Where's the economic growth? There isn't any economic growth!"

And I'll help you out: The employment numbers being released are not legit. They're not true. They're not real. They're fabricated; they're massaged. The secret lies in the labor force participation rate: This country has lost two million-plus jobs since Obama was inaugurated. There are two million fewer jobs. Now, I don't care how you want to report monthly unemployment applications and say that they're coming down. Even with the "reduction," there are still 370,000 people every month applying for unemployment. There are hundreds of thousands more who have given up. We're not creating jobs, and yet everybody in the media and on the Democrat side has got themselves convinced 'cause they live in this virtual alternative reality.

They've got themselves convinced that the economy is growing, that we're creating jobs. But if we're creating jobs (remember, now, we're still down 370,000 a week if not more), then where's the economic growth? And where's the tax revenue? Where's all the tax revenue from all this economic growth? Where's all the income tax revenue from all these new jobs? And of course the media is out there, "Well, you can't really trust these polls at this time of year. The polls are so volatile." Folks, they have been shell-shocked, and I want you to be entirely confident of this. Here. Let me show you. Grab audio sound bite number one. This is from the period of March 4th through the 7th, one week ago, and this is the media celebrating the huge opportunity for Obama to win reelection on the so-called Limbaugh issue.

SALLY QUINN: Obama has just been given a huge gift by the Republicans, and by the Religious Right, and by Rush Limbaugh!

LZ GRANDERSON: It's a gift to Democrats! (b-roll noise) This was a prime opportunity for him to step up as a leader and say, "What Rush Limbaugh said was bad."

DON LEMON: Is this a gift to Democrats?

JACK CAFFERTY: The biggest gift to President Obama? Limbaugh's comments!

JESSICA YELLIN: You know Democrats will say is: How could the President resist this opportunity?

TOM BROKAW: (newsroom noise) The more damage is done to the party, the more opportunities there are for the Democrats, like the Rush Limbaugh statements.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: (screaming) Over at team Obama, they’re smiling! President Obama's great fortune!

BOB SHRUM: Obama was the big winner!

RUSH: That was a week ago, March 4th through the 7th. Now listen to a montage of media people yesterday, one week after launching this all-out attack on your host. It was a sure winner. It was gonna launch Obama and the Democrats, back to electoral success. What happened?

WILLIE GEIST: (depressing music) New ABC/Washington Post poll shows President Obama's approval reversing.

CARLOS DIAZ: (music) President Obama's disapproval rating now rising, too!

CARL QUINTANILLA: (music) ... President Obama in a dead heat against Republican challengers.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: President Obama is in a tie with both Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum.

F. CHUCK TODD: ...the latest poll, which shows President's approval rating dipping.

STUART VARNEY: Very strong disapproval of the President's performance.

SCOTT PELLEY: The President's job approval has fallen from 50% last month to an all-time low, now, of 41%.

SGT. SCHULTZ: A new poll has President Obama's approval rating at an all time low.

LYNN BERRY: Fifty percent now say they disapprove of the way Mr. Obama is handling his job.

JOHN BERMAN: Fifty percent strongly disapprove, a dubious new high in his presidency.

"Analysis: Obama Tested by Events Outside Control." Poor guy! Poor guy! All of this is happening because of events outside his powers. He can't control what's going on in the Middle East. He can't control gas prices. He can't control the failure of his new green energy programs. He can't control the economy. Oh, poor guy! AP is just doing everything it can. It's really something, even by AP standards. But here's the story: "Obama's Rating Falls as Poll Reflects Volatility -- Despite improving job growth and an extended Republican primary fight dividing his would-be opponents, President Obama is heading into the general election season on treacherous political ground, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll."

Folks, this isn't what was planned. You can hear the panic in the voice of the New York Times writers. You can hear the panic in the words of Mr. Rutenberg and Ms. Connelly. "At a time of rising gas prices, heightened talk of war with Iran and setbacks in Afghanistan, Mr. Obama’s approval rating dropped substantially in recent weeks ... with 41% of respondents expressing approval of the job he is doing and 47% saying they disapprove -- a dangerous position for any incumbent seeking re-election." Now, remember one week ago they thought it was over. One week ago they thought, for one day, there was a Santa Claus.
Normally they don't believe in Santa Claus, but they did that day. They thought I was finished. They thought you were vanquished and Obama was elevated to heights that would make him unbeatable. And don't doubt me when I tell you they are in shellshock. And in the Washington Post poll, it has the information that: Hey, Obama's not cutting it with women, either. Remember what I've always told you about the conventional wisdom: "Go the other way." When the Washington conventional wisdom forms, do a 180; and more often than not you'll be far more right, correct, accurate, than the conventional wisdom. Now, the Times fails to note that this is an all-time low for Obama in their poll.

But they've been pointing it out in other places in the Drive-By Media, in the Obama State-Controlled Media. It is an all-time low, this 41% approval number. Back to the New York Times story: "The poll provides a statistical reminder of how unsettled and unpredictable this year’s political landscape remains." (snorts) "Just one month ago, Mr. Obama reached a critical benchmark by winning approval from 50% of Times/CBS News poll respondents, his re-election prospects lifting along with confidence that the nation was finally emerging from the aftermath of the Great Recession," but it isn't. And learned, informed smart people are starting to ask, "Wait a minute! You say jobs are being created and we're down to 8.3% unemployment. Where is the economic growth?"

It just isn't there.

RUSH: Now back to the polling data. As I say, in the New York Times/CBS poll you could almost hear the panic as you read the words off the page. This is an all-time low for Obama: 41% approval. It's an all-time low. They don't mention that in the story, and you notice also here that Obama has such poor approval numbers even though two-thirds of those polled think the economy's getting better. Two-thirds of this poll think the economy is getting better, because they're following all of the garbage that's being reported in the mainstream media. They are confused.

People are saying, "Okay, uhhhh, we're being told the economy is roaring back and growing back and all these new jobs are being created, but where is the growth and where is all the new tax revenue?" We had the largest deficit in the history of this country in the month of February. It's only 29 days! The largest deficit, monthly deficit in the history of the country. Where's the economic growth? Where's the tax revenue? If there was economic growth we wouldn't have had the largest deficit in American history. Now, the Times tries to pin Obama's downturn on rising gasoline prices, and on the ignorant 54% of poll respondents who believe a president can do a lot to control gas prices.

Fifty-four percent in the poll believe the president "can do a lot to control gas prices." Now, why would they think that, folks? Why would 54% of the American people think that? You want to know why? Because during the eight years of George W. Bush the media and the Democrat Party spent practically every day blaming Bush for the price of gasoline and for everything else that they dreamed up or imagined was bad or going bad. So it's after eight years of the Drive-By Media -- sycophants for the Democrat Party, willing accomplices -- attacking George W. Bush for high gas prices. And let's not forget the Democrat Party itself with John F. Kerry (who served in Vietnam, by the way), and every one of these other Democrats out there saying, "Bush has gotta do something about gas prices!

"He's gotta meet with the Saudis! He's gotta do something. He can't drill, though! No, no, no, can't drill. But we got a problem here with Iran." Do you realize how incompetent Obama sounds when he talks about why we can't drill? "Well, we can't drill. It'd take two to three years, but the reason I've got my hands tied here is because of Iran." Well, okay, so let's get our own domestic supply. "Nope, can't drill. That'd take too long. Keystone pipeline? No, the pipeline could pollute the land with the oil. Nope, can't do it." So on the one hand Obama blames Iran, blames the Middle East "instability" for the high price of gasoline and oil. While at the same time denying, refusing the opportunity presented to him to do anything about it.

Does he not know how ignorant he sounds?

Fifty-four percent of the people in this poll, 54% believe a president can do a lot to control gas prices. Now, the New York Times tries to portray that 54% as a bunch of stupid ignoramuses, as opposed to the enlightened 36% who understand that gasoline prices are way beyond president's control. Yes. Thirty-six percent of the people in the New York Times poll are smart. They get it: There's nothing a president can do -- unless he's a Republican, and then he can do everything, but he doesn't do anything because the president (if he's a Republican) wants people paying ten bucks a gallon so that he and his Republican buddies who own the oil companies can reap windfall profits!
