Mark Levin (Goes "All In" Defending Rubio?)
Mark Levin ^

Posted on 04/18/2013 10:30:55 AM PDT by Windy City Conservative

While I oppose the immigration bill, given the border-security issue and Obama's record of non-enforcement, among other things, I regret linking to a post that refers to Senator Rubio as a slick used car salesman. He is earnest and thoughtful and deserves much better. He loves his country and means well, unlike too many politicians. There are slick used car salesmen on Capitol Hill, many come to mind, but Rubio is certainly not one of them.

Also, while I'm on the subject, there are bloggers, columnists, and radio hosts who will personally trash Rubio because they think that shows how tough they are on illegal immigration or how conservative they are. Actually, they are pretenders. Most of them have done nothing on this issue or for the conservative movement. Landmark Legal Foundation has been involved in every recent, major piece of litigation against the Obama administration involving illegal immigration, including assisting Arizona in its defense of its law and borders. We went all the way to the Supreme Court. I don't recall any of these "tough" guys and gals behind their computers and microphones lifting a finger. None of them. Talk is cheap, and many of them are frauds.

While Mark Levin doesn't support the Gang of 8 immigration bill, he still supports Marco Rubio, and is defending him from anyone who is saying unkind words about Rubio.

However, when it comes to the current Gang of 8 bill, John McCain could go on Levin's show and state ver batim what Rubio has stated, and Levin would be blasting McCain personally. I don't like McCain at all, but a bad bill is a bad bill, and like it or not, he is being a salesman for this bill, and his goal at this point is to sell the product regardless of the quality of the product.

Marco was interviewed on Mark's show a few months back and talked about "De facto amnesty", and talked non-stop for 10 minutes while Levin did nothing to hold his feet to the fire. I complained about this in one or two comments on Levin's Facebook page, and have since been blocked from commenting.

You’re dead wrong Mark...Rubio needs his feet held to the fire just like any other double-talking politician.

By the way, an article on Powerline noted that Marco Rubio was first approached about joining the Gang of 8 back at the Senate Gym in December by his workout buddy, Dick Durbin. Dick Durbin for crying out loud. Rubio and Durbin working out together is about as bad as if Mark Levin had Keith Olberman as his workout buddy. Whatever happened the old adage, “judged by the company you keep”?

Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have a RINO/GOP-e enemy recognition problem.

You’re flat wrong.

And I’m proud to say it whether anyone else steps up or not

Mark likes Rubio personally. YOu don’t. That’s the difference. If you look at the substance of what Mark says, he absolutely is not about supporting Rubio’s gang of eight cause. He’s about being civil to someone he likes and admires.

Period.

There’s nothing else to this. No there, there.

This site is being burdened with false headlined “stories” against Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin.

This is WRONG.

So your importance to the movement is based on whether or not you're a lawyer. Great, Mark.

I got news for you: I love your show, but you better get one thing straight and you better do it quick. People like us who post here aren't just important to the conservative movement: we ARE the conservative movement.

We're the foot soldiers. We're the people who make the calls, who stay on the elected officials, who knock on the doors and who carry the freight on issues like gun control. And we will carry the freight on illegal immigration and Rubio amnesty as well.

And as grunt soldiers, we choose to exercise the common soldier's only right: the right to complain.

We don't like Rubio's amnesty. And if you don't like that, you can find a way to win elections without us. Because we can, and we will, cut our own deal.

Rubio is talking way too fast and selling way too hard.

I hear more of the same that was supposed to be done but not done and excuses for not enforcing the laws we have now.

Settle down with your defense of Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh; they’ll be fine, no matter what happens to the rest of us if Marco Rubio gets his way. I don’t like or dislike a politician personally, but I fight against their policy and critique their actions.

I stated up front the Mark Levin doesn’t support the Gang of 8 bill, but I think Mark and Rush should stop saying what a great conservative Rubio is when Rubio pulls this stuff on the American people. Marco is the appointed salesman for this bill and we are allowed the criticize the salesman within reason. We can say he is talking like a slick used car salesman if that is what he reminds us of.

The difference between Levin, Rush, and someone like me is that I am willing to distance myself from a politician who is making a big mistake and trying to convince conservative voters and conservative politicians to put the country in a bad situation. Enforce the current immigration laws to the best of the government’s ability and humanity, it’s that simple.

Why should we expect different results from a bill that was written by the Same Idiot that helped write the 1986 Legislation. Chuckles Schumer claimed that was the End of all Scamnesty. Now 30 years later here we are with 6-10 times as many Criminal Invaders.

Land Mines, Fences with constentin wire and Armed Forces with shoot to kill orders would seal the border as soon as they were in place.

Rush, hannity, Levin...likely ALL work for outfits that want this amnesty/ They know who is behind this. THEY don’t care! None of them EVER mention the GOP LOBBYISTS writing this bill, the same ones who have destroyed EVERY attempt at border control from prop 187 to today.

Levin, Hannity and Rush apparently serve their own interests before this nations. THEY KNOW what Rubio is! If they don’t, they need to get another job.

You’ve been sold out by your elected leaders and your ‘conservative’ talk hosts. SAD! TRUE!

Not only do they not deport anyone, people who have been deported get to come back!!!

Who is Cesar Conda?

AND that is ALL I’m going to say, I’m tired of beating my head against the open border/quisling wall!

And if I’m wrong, MARK LEVIN, PROVE it! Or are you going to lie and blame like a LIBERAL???

Rubio is naive. He just doesn’t get it. He doesn’t understand how sinister and diabolical the DemocRats are. Dick Durbin says “we’ll enforce the border”, and he just believes him.

NEVER. TRUST. A. DEMOCRAT.

Slick, like scumbag Chuckie Schumer ... who's FOR the immigration bill?
And if Chuckie is for something, then I'm against it and that means I'm against Rubio too.

rubio is wrong on immigration and wrong for America and while I love Mark... I do not share his opinion of rubio. He is bloviating to Rush right now. rubio refuses to see the folly of his way... we have tried his way twice and it will not work because we cannot trust the promises of this government and it is not like we have not been promised these things three times before. Screw rubio and anyone supporting amnesty... and it is amnesty! mexicans are NOT Americans... and we have laws and a system that would work to allow them to become Americans... but the same government that is making us promises... refuses to enforce those laws and that system... and rubio knows this... he has an agenda and it is not one for America!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Rubio on Rush today was not suggesting the illegal aliens be deported as they should be...

He never said the border should be closed...

he never said that the laws already on the books should be immediately enforced..

HELLO ???

Rubio has one agenda and thats to put his illegal aliens before real immigrants

and before American citizens

Rubio is ANTI-IMMIGRATION...

and ANTI-AMERICA

he was condesending to Rush today..

Rush made a valid serious point and Rubio talked down to him ...
