translation: If Secretariat were on the ballot, we’d vote for him instead.
I like Rush. But I have never forgotten in the mid 90s when he smugly came on his TV show and said it was time “you anti-NAFTA dittoheads to come home. We’ll welcome you back in after your brief departure from what’s correct.”
He’s not always right. In fact sometimes he wrong about very, very big things.
Just in case anyone doesn’t remember that:

Rush is a voice for good, but he gets it wrong sometimes.
I think Rubio is mostly conservative, but on immigration he is completely wrong.
Don’t forget that the likes of Limbaugh, Levine, Hannity and other talkshow hosts are making a very decent living because of the sorry state of the world, although they do not have the power nor the intention to change it.
In a perfect world, they would be out of work.
I just went looking for a meme I saw this morning with the photo of Schumer smiling behind Rubio and the meme was: If Schumer is smiling...you’re doing it wrong!!! Wish I could have found that.
We already know who is advising Rubio, His chief of Staff....
See, Who is Cesar Conda?
So a former George Soros rag editor is now Rubios Chief of Staff.
Behind the scenes of Amnesty..
See, Who is Cesar Conda?

Rush is a Republican from a long line of Republicans. He just dabbles in Conservatism on the radio. When he started sports talk and golf talk on his program, it was all downhill. As a self admitted entertainer, it’s now an act.
Why are Rush and Levin on this Rubio bandwagon? Do they know something that the rest of us don’t know? Amnesty is the prelude and intro to the one party socialist state, the USSSA.
Amnesty is giving American citizenship to the world, especially the world’s poor, uneducated masses those looking to be ruled by a wise and benevolent king who will take care of them.
The Republican Party is already dead. What goes by the same name is a subsidiary of the Democrat Party whose job it is to provide an official Opposition.
Rush, how has Rubio demonstrated by action that he is a conservative?
Words don’t really mean anything to me anymore, America is a country full of liars.
Ted Cruz has demonstrated that he is a conservative.
Only thing I have seen Rubio demonstrate is that he is a gang member, and I don’t have any love at all for gang members.
Rush, do not pee on my leg and tell me that it’s raining.
Way to yank everyone back to reality.............
Rubio is participating in the destruction of the Republic. He should be destroyed so as to avoid the idea of his becoming president.
I don't know who a true "thoroughbred conservative" would be, but even Ronald Reagan stumbled during his first term as governor.
Other politicians in the classic conservative mold realized early on that they would never be elected president. I guess they got their heads down and got to work.
Rubio's still at the point of deciding just which path he wants to take. Assuming he's not defeated for reelection there will be time in the future to mend fences whichever path he chooses.
I spent some time listening to some good ‘ol Southern preachin’ and teachin’ online today...made me feel MUCH better than listening to the likes of Rush, Levin, Beck, and the rest.
“One issue alone does not render him not-conservative. Hes just conservative ... and wrong about immigration.”

Hi SnakeDoctor and the several others on this thread who think Rubio is just dandy.
One issue?
This is about a lot more than one issue.
Boston Bombings are happening because of the same people behind this amnesty and they work for Rubio. Those bombers are here because of them and they’re republicans as well as democrats. We are targets because they’ve insisted our laws aren’t going to be enforced and we’re going to be stuck with it OR ELSE.
The right side of the isle pushing amnesty, including Rubio, is no better than Eric HOlder when he says amnesty is a CIVIL RIGHT FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS! Do you buy that too??
It’s about collusion, big money buying influence, LIBERAL money. It’s about high powered LOBBYISTS writing our laws and owning our legislators.. It’s about corruption and honesty. And Rubio and his people use SPLC talking points to destroy ALL conservative opposition including FREEREPUBLIC.
They’re even hammering talk radio and STILL LImbaugh & Hannity carry their water. And one reason they probably do, is that to admit what is going on here, they have to admit it was going on under Bush as well! They prove every day that they don’t address the root problems on OUR SIDE that they don’t care about the country, they care about the GOP and their ‘position’. Mark Levin had the courage to call Islam facilitator GRover Norquist out last Friday! Let’s see if he keeps it up.
Rubio has lied over and over about this ‘it’s not amnesty’. Cesar Conda/Norquist hijacked a tea party name, got him elected. A Conda doesn’t go to work for a lowly state representative! He was picked to push this policy! WAKE UP!
His group threatens, racebaits, flat lies about anti amnesty groups and people. As Norquist (Rubio’s adviser/mouthpiece) says...he’s going to ‘marginalize’ us all, like he did Jeff Sessions. A GOOD MAN!
All day, every day, we ALL talk about Barak Obama’s associates, friends, spouse, relatives...it’s all used for the ‘you shall be known by those you hang with’ game.
But when VALID associations and conclusions are drawn about some HACK with an R by his name, some of you go brain dead and start making excuses. Please, read, we have a mess on our hands, please don’t excuse it.

MEET TREY GOWDY---an up-and-comer. We need to get
behind this guy.......I SAY WE DRAFT HIM FOR PREZ.
WIKI EXCERPT Gowdy considers himself a constitutional conservative. In August 2011 during the 2011 United States debt ceiling crisis, Gowdy opposed the Speaker John Boehners debt limit bill, and he voted against the final debt ceiling agreement.[15] In December 2011, he told Congressional Quarterly that he will only support a measure if its sponsor can demonstrate that the Constitution gives the government the power to act in a particular realm.[5][16]
Gowdy worked on the Committee on Judiciary, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the Committee on Education and the Workforce. Gowdy developed a reputation as a tough questioner and frequently speaks on the floor of the House on issues ranging from Fast and Furious to his support for the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.
In 2012, he received the Defender of Economic Freedom award from the fiscally conservative 501(c)4 organization Club for Growth. The award is given to the members of Congress who have the year's highest ranking, according to the Club for Growth's metrics. Gowdy scored 97 out of 100, and was one of 34 congressmen given the award.[17]
Gowdy considers himself "pro-life plus", meaning that he believes "in the sanctity of life" and that "the strategy should be broader than waiting for the Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade."[18]
Trey Gowdy signed the Contract From America, which aims to "Defund, repeal and replace the recently passed government-run health care".[19][20]
In October 2012, the Middle Class Advocacy groups Voter Punch and The Campaign for America's Future gave Gowdy an 'F'. By the groups' measures, Gowdy received a 7 percent.[21] The 2012 voter guide rates members of Congress on key votes that symbolize how responsive they have been to the interests of the middle class.[22]
THATS how much of a conservative Rubio is.
“Why are Rush and Levin on this Rubio bandwagon? Do they know something that the rest of us dont know?”
Levin is getting to the root of it. Rush, like Hannity is trying to ignore it. And I’m sure they know things we don’t, like who owns them.
