Rush kind of has to walk on eggshells with that. After all, he has been banging the drum for those GOP moderate Republicans for years.
IIRC, he was intially on their side for the Dubai ports deal, the Miers nomination, amnesty for illegals, etc.
It was only after the 2006 GOP Congressional massacre that Rush declare he was “no longer carrying the water for the GOP.”
Rush supported Dubai but he DID NOT support Miers. he was emphatically against her from day one.
And while amnesty wasn’t an issue he carried every day when it became an issue forced by Bush, McCain and Kennedy he was against it.
“Rush kind of has to walk on eggshells with that. After all, he has been banging the drum for those GOP moderate Republicans for years.”
No he was facing facts. To help the Republican party win he was espousing the moderate line to try to move them to the right. He was playing a tactical game and realized it was for naught.
The Dubai ports deal was the right deal at the time and he was right on that. There are so many reasons that we SHOULD have done that deal.
Those skittishly railing against that were mostly irrationally scared children with no sense of the world realities, FACTS, or current situational awareness of the time. Those opposed also had NO grasp of our place in the world, and a small mindedness as to effect/counter effects of that deal.
