When liberals don’t get their way - opposition has to be destroyed...they want to shut you up
Spritzer shooting down before it can be weighed on it’s merit ( license for illegals) Rush saying Americn people do not want amnesty shoved down their throats
Rush is saying that the American people do not support amnesty, that this isn’t a new issue as Spitzer is trying to claim, nor is it too complicated for people to understand. The ruling elites are determined to ram it down our throats.
Hi.
Rush is on fire today. Good. :)
I know. I was kidding. BTW, i think you have created a picture monster.

Spitzer pulled his intent today and pissed and moaned pulling it

It all happens before the debate and why
Rush flat out said it wa for votes, welfare dependance and
pork
Rush is right: Illegal Immigration is going to lose the ‘Rats the moderate and undecided voters in droves! This is a very good development for ‘08.
Taxpayers footing the bills for illegal immigrants
11/14/07 Danbury (WTNH) _ A Team 8 investigation has uncovered information about the cost of caring for illegal immigrants at Danbury Hospital.
Wilson Hernandez has been visiting his friend at the Intensive Care Unit at Danbury Hospital for three weeks now. The friend, who does not want to be identified, is uninsured and is an illegal alien from Ecuador.
"He got hit by a car," said Hernandez. "He is in a coma. Doctors are telling us he has no chance of recovering."
And with every passing day, the already staggering bill mounts and Danbury Hospital will be paid by your tax dollars.
"Regardless what my personal opinion might be on the issue, my professional responsibility is to be sure we are meeting the needs of the community," said the CEO of Danbury Hospital, Frank Kelly. "When they come to the emergency room, we are obligated under law to treat those patients."
But how much does it really cost Danbury Hospital to care for illegal aliens? Opponents of illegal immigration have not been able to cite actual figures until now. Team 8 has obtained a financial statement from Danbury Hospital and it shows that in the first two quarters of last year, they treated a total of 321 aliens at a cost of almost $4-million.
Only three of those patients were covered by insurance and only one paid their $7,722 bill in full. State aid, meaning taxpayers, paid over 71-percent of the tab, or about $2.5 million.
Elise Marciano is the president of the Anti-Illegal Immigration Group in Danbury. "That is so incredible that our taxpayers money that this hospital is spending on people who shouldn't even be here," she said.
Frank Kelly says he understands how illegal immigration opponents feel about the staggering numbers. "Thank goodness I don't have to deal with that issue. We're in the health care business and our goal is to focus on health care," he said.
The price tag is fodder for illegal immigration opponents who take issue with the costs to taxpayers when it comes to education, city services and health care.
"It all accounts to the taxpayers and the people who work in this state that this is what our money is being paid for and we have people who need it in the state far more than people who don't belong here," Marciano said.
Meanwhile, Hernandez is grateful that Danbury Hospital is not asking questions, just providing care to his friend.
More emphatically, Rush says this issue isn’t going away, that it will be part of the presidential campaign. Says the defeat of Spitzer’s issue was the result of talk show radio getting the facts out to the American people.
Don’t fruit the beer!
MAN LAW!
Goes to show that “We The People” are starting to take our nation back. :)
Got to step out, but enjoy this midweek round of Rush being on fire. :)
