despite the glaring facts, during the last fifteen minutes of today's show, el rushbo reiterated his belief that rubio is a "thoroughbred conservative"?!?!~
(Excerpt) Read more at rushlimbaugh.com ...
“Legalize 20, 30, 40 million poor illiterates and conservatives can kiss national elections, as well as most state elections, goodbye forever. And with those offices all of conservative dreams of a restored constitution, smaller government, lower taxes, fewer regulations, etc etc etc.”
THANK YOU...I meant to point that out, but was burning my fish!! Nice and crispy! lol :<(
Thanks, I’ll start paying attention to Gowdy.
” 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] “
Sadly, Club for growth is a compromised ‘conservative’ group, just like the ACU. What that rating means is he’s ‘free trade’...like NAFTA, GATT, mostfavored nation China.
And usually they are for amnesty....do remember Club for Growth didn’t like Duncan Hunter. But they LOVE Grover Norquist.
Limbaugh actually talked for 15 minutes without a commercial break for some useless retarded product?
Rubio is a degenerate twerp lawyer and busybody who never had a real job and his life and is busy sticking his nose in the working mans business.
Douchebag pushed to make Florida a primary seat belt enforcement state, I knew he was no conservative right then and there.
I fail to see how much better he is in the Senate than that fake orange suntan faggot that he beat Charlie Crist would have been.
Perhaps Gowdy was cited by the Club-—without his complicity?
Not sure where you got “he’s dandy” from “he’s wrong”.
Don’t give me that “no better than Eric Holder” nonsense, though. Nobody’s stupid enough to believe that.

from: Grover Norquist: A Republican who acts like a Democrat?
FIVE MINUTE FLOOR SPEECH Congressman Frank R. Wolf, Republican from Virginia District 10 - 2011
My conscience has compelled me to come to the floor today to voice concerns I have with the influence Grover Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform, has on the political process in Washington.
My issue is not with ATR’s goal of keeping taxes low.
Like Ronald Reagan said, and I believe, “the problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.” I want to be perfectly clear: I do not support raising taxes on the American people.
My concern is with the other individuals, groups, and causes with whom Mr. Norquist is associated that have nothing to do with keeping taxes low.
Among them:
One, Mr. Norquist’s relationship with Jack Abramoff. Mr. Abramoff essentially laundered money through ATR and Mr. Norquist knew it.
Two, his association and representation of terrorist financier and vocal Hamas supporter Abdurahman Alamoudi. He also is associated with terrorist financier Sami Al-Arian, who pled guilty in 2006 to conspiring to provide services to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Three, Mr. Norquist’s lobbying on behalf of Fannie Mae.
Four, Mr. Norquist’s representation of the Internet gambling industry.
Five, Mr. Norquist’s advocacy of moving Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States, including 9/11 mastermind Khaled Sheik Mohammed.
Simply put, I believe Mr. Norquist is connected with or has profited from a number of unsavory people and groups out of the mainstream.
I also believe Mr. Norquist has used the ATR “pledge” as leverage to advance other issues many Americans would find inappropriate, and when taken as a whole, should give people pause.
I raise these concerns today in the context of dealing with the future of our country. America is in trouble. Unemployment is over 9 percent. Housing values continue to decline. Retirement accounts are threatened. The American people are worried. Yet, Washington is tragically shackled in ideological gridlock.
Some are dead-set against any change to entitlement programs, while others insist that any discussion of tax policy is off the table.
We are at a point today that the tsunami of debt in America demands that every piece of the budget be scrutinized – and that means more than just cutting waste, fraud and abuse and discretionary programs.
The real runaway spending is occurring in our out-of-control entitlement costs and the hundreds of billions in annual tax earmarks in our tax code. Until we reach an agreement that addresses these two drivers of our deficit and debts, we cannot right our fiscal ship of state.
Everything must be on the table and I believe how the “pledge” is interpreted and enforced by Mr. Norquist is a roadblock to realistically reforming our tax code.
When Senator Tom Coburn recently called for eliminating the special interest ethanol tax subsidy, who led the opposition? Mr. Norquist.
Have we already forgotten the battle over earmarks from last year? Unlike an earmark included in an annual appropriations bill, “tax earmarks” are far worse because once enacted they typically exist in perpetuity.
Have we really reached a point where one person’s demand for ideological purity is paralyzing Congress to the point that even a discussion of tax reform is viewed as breaking a no-tax pledge?
I understand that some may not agree with what I say today. I also know many are not aware of Mr. Norquist’s associations. But my conscience compels me to speak out.
Reasonable people can disagree on the merits of pledges – and I respect those differences – but the issue is with the interpreter and enforcer of a pledge.
William Wilberforce, the British parliamentarian and abolitionist, famously told his colleagues, “Having heard all of this, you may choose to look the other way, but you can never say again that you did not know.”
I urge my colleagues to read my full statement in the Record, which also will be posted on my Web page, going into greater detail on the issues I have raised.

Is he denying it?
Brevity remains the soul of wit.
Well reasoned tirade against Grover Norquist. The topic was Marco Rubio. Focus.

Actually, Rubio is WORSE than Holder! At least Holder doesn’t lie about being conservative or use the tea party to get in office to do his dirt.
You didn’t read the articles. You don’t want to learn. Or you have an agenda. We’re done. Because other people do care.
“Well reasoned tirade against Grover Norquist. The topic was Marco Rubio. Focus. “
Smart ass, just like Norquist and Rubio. RUBIO IS OWNED BY GROVER NORQUIST! Just admit you like it that way!
You’re a troll and disruptor. No facts, no history, NOTING! Insults, just like Norquist!
You lost me at “Holder doesn’t lie”.
SnakeDoc
Good grief.
The FACT is that Rubio is wrong. I already said that. Twice. So, twelve paragraph dissertations about why Rubio is wrong are unnecessary ... and come closer to ‘trolling’ than anything I’ve said.
SnakeDoc
I really couldn’t give a damn about Grover Norquist. His tax pledge is fine by me. Other than that ... he’s irrelevant.
Rubio is his own man. When he’s wrong, I’ll say so. When he’s right, I’ll do the same. Don’t give me some half-assed ‘guilt-by-association’ crap. I wasn’t talking about Norquist. I don’t care about Norquist. No need to talk about Norquist.
SnakeDoc
Ted Cruz doesn’t need a phone call to point him the right way. Cornyn ... maybe.

Okay, that’s enough, you can blab on all you want, but you’re not going to take MY words out of context to make this forum think I said something I DID NOT! YOU are a stalking troll and a liar. No wonder you defend the same in politicians.
Do NOT post to me again!
THIS IS WHAT I SAID!

Good grief.. Another scumbag posting a thread to try to smear Limbaugh?
Limbaugh has been one of the loudest voices AGAINST Rubio’s immigration scheme. Rubio may be horribly misguided, or he may be an evil charlatan who knows exactly the kind of mayhem and destrcution he is promoting - - opinions on that differ - - but Limbaugh does NOT support Rubio on the immigration plan in any way, shape, manner, or form. Limbaugh has made that crystal clear. He believe, in fact, that any kind of amnesty plan would destroy the GOP and more importantly, the nation.
So why do trolls like you (and some other scumbag who posted the same headline) come along and post vanities with headlines that try to connect Rush to Rubio in a way that makes it look like Rush supports Rubio’s amnesty bill? Is it fun for you trolls to watch as the “I gave up on Rush long ago” morons - - who likely never listened to Rush in the first place - - populate the thread with their inane comments and show you the ruse “worked”?
Oddly, in the coon’s age it’s been since last tuning in to RL, it doesn’t feel like I’ve missed a thing !
Don’t know much about him-—just got the WIKI take today—liked what I read.
Saw him on Dateline-—pre-Congress-—prosecuted a case there.
Also saw him takedown a lying witness at a Congressional hearing-——”dont sit there and tell me you dont know.” Trey said angrily.
