What Rush says that is both a little frightening but true is that a "Perot" could come along and make sense on immigration, thus destroying Republican gains.

If a large majority of Congressional Republicans stand against Bush, Bush can stand off and the great minority of Reps will shut up.

Rush still straddling the fence.

Rush earlier in his show today that we shouldn't be afraid of hillary and the clintons, but now we now we should be afraid of another Perot like character.

Don't misunderstand me, 'leftist hypocrites' was referring to the Hollywood actors who signed that ad posted by Dane.

I think Limbaugh is exactly right...GW may be triangulating the party out of its base voters. The Right is more finicky I think, although it happened to the Dems with Ralph Nader when Clinton/Gore became a defended of the establishment status quo.

We talk a lot about low-wage aliens, but we're also siphoning off our brainpower. Graduate schools, especially in engineering, are shockingly dominated by foreign nationals. Something like 45% of the PhD's earned in the U.S. are to people who have citizenship elsewhere (and I doubt all of them stay here after conferral.)

Bob Sensenbrenner's (R-WI) son is the head of College Republicans at my school. He can't be happy with the Prez divebombing his immigrant-check bills.

Ah fooie on your Rush and Immigration!

Been trying to get our blowhard buddy to open his eyes on immigration for years. Whadda we supposed to do now ... congratulate the ole DJ for finally waking up?

Our idol has definitely had eyes of clay on this issue. When Texas votes to secede and re-join Mexico, maybe George Bush will suddenly snap out of it, too, along with that pack of idiots in the Congessional Black Caucus (aka the 2005 Amos'n'Andy Show) Or maybe they like representing districts with 40% unemployment.
