Levin: Maybe Jeb Realizes Immigration Position ‘Just Not Flying’
breitbart.com ^ | 1/26/15 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 01/27/2015 5:59:14 AM PST by cotton1706

On Monday, talk radio host and author of “The Liberty Amendments,” Mark Levin suggested that Jeb Bush was changing his tone on immigration because he realized his position was “just not flying.”

After playing a clip of Bush saying “we ought to be able to figure out where they [illegal immigrants] are and politely ask them to leave,” Levin initially wondered how politely asking someone to leave would work and what would happen if someone said “no.”

He then remarked, “so, Jeb says we ought to be able to figure out where these people are and politely ask them to leave. First of all, I’ve noticed a slight of course for [Jeb], maybe this pro-amnesty, pro-open borders, anti-American sovereignty position is just not flying that well, nor should it, that’s in the other party.”

I posted a story on this yesterday and apparently Mark Levin has come to the same conclusion. The Establishment may be beginning to "pivot."

These stories, in addition to the House pulling the McCaul bill yesterday are signs that the people are not being fooled into their latest games and they're feeling the heat coming from somewhere.

Anybody believe that Jeb Bush is actually changing his position or just trying to misdirect primary voters?

In other words, Jeb is lying - either then, now, or in the future - about his support for open borders.

Or maybe he is just LYING! You know, like most of them do!

Seriously? Please tell me Mark Levin is not this gullible.

Most of the Bush family are parasites that suck upon public treasuries, mostly at the federal level but also at the state and local level.

By “pivot”.. I am assuming that means they will say what it takes to get elected. Once elected, they will go back to their RINO-same as Democrat.. ways. TBH, I would actually have more respect for someone stating what they believe vs LYING to get a vote. The more someone “pivots” on a position.. the more I distrust someone. IMHO.

Levin initially wondered how politely asking someone to leave would work and what would happen if someone said “no.”

When I was in the Army and made field grade I was kind of shocked at how my musings were taken as orders and acted on. I had to pound it into my team that they were invitations for discussion, constructive criticism and alternate ideas. If I wanted something done, I would make it clear.

Anyway, if someone said "no," I guess we cold add a "pretty please" to request.

I caught that yesterday, Levin was much funnier than this represents...he did a little role-play of how the exchange might go with Jeb politely asking an illegal to leave who doesn't want to and the response back to him is ‘Go to Hell. I am staying here ’ and then Jeb says 'OK'.

Levin is right, Jeb realizes calling coming here illegally or overstaying a visa ‘an act of love’ is not going to win him the GOP primary.

Jeb's another one to listen to closely, as with Rubio, for deceit.

No one will be fooled except mushy middle-of-the-road Republicans. Let’s make 2016 the year that voters have had enough of Bushes and Clintons.

Marco Rubio was one of the party’s brightest rising stars till he stepped on this cow patty.

That’s until he, they are elected. One only has to observe this Congress right now.

“Seriously? Please tell me Mark Levin is not this gullible.”

Oh, it’s not that we’re gullible. We just recognize the game they’re playing. These people are politicians. They say what they need to get elected, and once they have power, they won’t give a damn about what they said.

These stories can be used to detect the undercurrents that are happening. And the fact that Jeb is all of a sudden changing his tune is very telling. The people aren’t going for his “acts of love” nonsense.

Also keep in mind the Establishment goal, which is to prevent a conservative from getting the nomination. So like Romney, he’ll flip and flop and say whatever to get the nomination.

Maybe we should just ask all felons “politely to stop feloning”, to coin a word.

Amnesty, pathway to citizenship, fees, fines, ‘waiting’ blah, blah blah......it’s all appeasement to peoples who don’t have allegiance to THIS country, period - and that goes for legal immigrants, too, if they insist on us Americans accepting illegals as a fait accompli. The fact is that when you legalize them, the onslaught of full normalization lawsuits will begin, and these invaders will eventually be granted full equalization - count on it.

To say however many illegals they are lying about (numbers) can’t possibly be deported is claptrap. Tell it to 1969 and the moon landing, tell it to the Panama Canal, the Hoover Dam, and all the other seemingly impossible feats heretofore accomplished as established fact.

We don’t need them; they pollute our culture, they infest our schools and education system with needless expense, they infest our hospitals, our prisons, our entitlement system - all for some liberal’s wet dream and greedy employers wanting to make a fast buck. I’d gladly pay $2 for a tomato if it meant there weren’t any illegals here in this country.

But, but, Jeb, they’re just coming here out of love. Oh come on Jeb you don’t realyl mean this. You don’t really want to catch and release....politely. You just want to get the nomination and you expect millions of foolish GOPe voters to buy this latest crap you’re selling. You shouldn’t have talked to Republicn voters as tho they were RAT voters. Republicans are the smarter, non-brain dead ones. Oh, guess you and Mitt figured that out now.
