Rush: If Conservatism Is Your Only Priority, There Is No Choice Other Than Ted Cruz

The Rush Limbaugh Show ^ | 2/10/16 | Rush Limbaugh

[TBBT]

If conservatism is your bag, if conservatism is the dominating factor in how you vote, there is no other choice for you in this campaign than Ted Cruz, because you are exactly right: This is the closest in our lifetimes we have ever been to Ronald Reagan.

***snip***

But for those of you that conservatism's the answer and conservatism is the way, you have no choice here. Ted Cruz has got to be your guy. There's nobody even close. Nobody.

I’m thinking of a “fickle FReeper Award? my self.

Dedicated to those who support someone as long as they don’t say something that doesn’t validate their opinion thus worthy of the under the bus mode until further notice.

For crying out loud. I was referring to paying for his campaign.

And, I am sure that some of his projects have lost money. He has mentioned being in debt for over a billion dollars himself. He said it was not fun being Donald Trump then.

[HoosierWordsmith]

“Just a shame he’s not constitutionally eligible.”

Did you read about the Illinois judgement on that one...?

[Mycroft Holmes]

Lovely huge image. To see it better on varying sized screens try proportional spacing; like this...

<img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/55c3fb672acae76e098bcb31-2448-3264/donaldtrump1.jpg" width="100%">

The width="100%" part resizes the image to fit in the enclosing container. Try resizing the window to see the effects.

[Shortstop7]

Rush and Levin both hyped Trump as long as it suited their agenda...which was exposing the MSM and calling them out on their BS. They loved Trump for that.

When it became clear that Trump was a frontrunner, they jumped ship and started promoting their personal favorites. I lost a lot of respect for both Levin and Rush after that. I never listen to Levin any more. I had grown weary of his screaming rants anyway.

It just proves that EVERY ONE of these media guys have their own personal ‘establishments’. They just won’t admit it.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Usually Rush is pimping Rubio.

[saywhatagain]

Rush is NOT telleing folks how to vote. Here is exactly what he said . . .

In context . . . He was talking about Jeb and Kaisch moving left which should concern you but no . . .

"They were going left as fast as Deion Sanders can backpedal. They were moving left faster than anybody I've ever seen go left. And I opened the program yesterday saying, "You will never, ever have to worry about that with Ted Cruz." And then I expanded on it.

And let me say one thing: If conservatism is your bag, if conservatism is the dominating factor in how you vote, there is no other choice for you in this campaign than Ted Cruz, because you are exactly right: This is the closest in our lifetimes we have ever been to Ronald Reagan.

i suppose am wasting my time, i understand libtards being ignorant, have no tolerance for ignorant conservatives

[SeaHawkFan]

Just one example of Rush’s generosity and that of his listeners:

https://philanthropy.com/article/Radio-Host-Channels-More-Than/201027

The letter auctioned off for $2.1 million and Rush matched the bid for a total of $4.2 million.

Another example of Rush’s charity work:

http://dailyrushbo.com/3-million-limbaugh-breaks-another-record-for-annual-leukemia-lymphoma-society-cure-a-thon/

Rush has raised over $40 million for cancer research:

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2015/04/10/your_host_donates_600_000_to_kick_off_the_25th_annual_lls_cure_a_thon

Trump has done nothing even close to this.

[saywhatagain]

what are you . . . his sperm?

[Just mythoughts]

I’m just telling you, I don’t see Marco Rubio as anything other than a legitimate, full-throated conservative......

I have never heard of a 'full-throated conservative" is that a code word for something?

Sen. Cruz Files Additional Amendments to Immigration Legislation

Cruz 1324: Green Card (LPR) reform to modernize, streamline and expand legal immigration Provisions of his amendment include:

Doubling the overall worldwide green card caps from 675,000 visas per year to 1.35 million per year (not including refugees and asylees):

Employment-based green cards: Consolidates the 5 existing employment-based visas into a single high-skilled employment-based visa.

Family-based green cards: Creates a single family-based visa category that treats all immigrant families equally by redefining "immediate relatives" as "spouses, minor children, and parents of citizens or LPRs."

Treating immigrants from all countries equally by eliminating the diversity visa program and the per-country visa caps: Currently, immigrants of identical skill may experience drastically different wait times and burdens based merely on their country of origin. Not only is this inequitable, it hurts our ability to attract the best and brightest.

Reducing bureaucracy: Creates a user-friendly online portal where visa applicants can apply and obtain updates on their application.

Cruz 1325: Increase high-skilled temporary worker visas (H-1B visas) five-fold

This amendment would improve our nation’s legal immigration system by increasing the H-1B cap from 65,000 to 325,000. It would also help America retain the people it educates by authorizing dual-intent student visas and address the need for high-skilled labor by creating a block grant to promote domestic high-skilled workers.

Cruz 1326: Combines Cruz 1324 and Cruz 1325. Implements Green Card reform to streamline and expand legal immigration and increases high-skilled temporary worker visas five fold.

Cruz 1323: Combines Cruz 1322 and Cruz 1321. Provides that those who are granted legal status under the bill are ineligible for welfare and for citizenship

Cruz 1324: Green Card (LPR) reform to modernize, streamline and expand legal immigration

Cruz 1325: Increase high-skilled temporary worker visas (H-1B visas) five-fold

You’re a big meanie knowing the majority don’t click through to read the article. :)

[nathanbedford]

Fine, I will read it and if I comment on it I will attempt to do so by having resort to reason and precedents rather than merely parroting an unsupported conclusion in thread after thread.
