Mark Davis filled in for Rush Limbaugh today. Picking up el Rushbo's “repeal health care reform” torch, Davis started off the show calling the reform an “attack on consumer choice,” and called on Republicans to “slay the dragon” of “Obamacare” through repeal. He claimed that “consumer choice [has been] impaled on the sword of the Democrat's socialist agenda,” and vowed that the Democrats would lose in November. Davis also mocked climate change as a “panic cult of nonsense,” and stated that “our air and water is much cleaner than it used to be” (though he ignored that a cleaner environment is due to those federal regulations we put in place). Davis then went back to health care, declaring the new legislation “unconstitutional,” and plugged his interview with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott -- who is challenging the legislation in federal court -- to confirm that it is unconstitutional. Later, when a caller expressed that his daughter was “considered uninsurable,” Davis replied that “no one is uninsurable... [but] you need a system in the country that will help you out” (Alert "let them eat applesauce" Limbaugh! Davis has veered off the script.)

Here are some highlights from the show:

Davis on McCain: It's “the weirdest thing in the world how a guy who's tortured can be so wrong on torture”

Davis predicts U.S. in twenty years “will not be the America that you grew up in... unless we are vigilant”

In the second half of the show, Davis said he is “filled with optimism” that health care reform will be overturned. He moved on to discuss the Arizona Republican primary race between John McCain and J.D. Hayworth. Davis expressed his view that McCain may have more clout than Hayworth, but that it's the “weirdest thing how a guy [McCain] who's tortured can be so wrong on torture.” He concluded that he wants the “most conservative candidate that can win” the general election to win the Republican Party's nomination. Davis wrapped up the show by saying that Obama is changing America “into something else,” and “this will not be the America you grew up in. It will be something very, very different, unless we are vigilant.”
