Did you listen to Rubio on Rush? I wasn’t able to hear all of it, but in the part I DID hear, Rush was not agreeing with him. He was complimentary of RUbio’s passion vs. being jaded. Rush seemed skeptical that illegals were coming here for the AMerican dream as Rubio claimed.
Rush lost a lot of credibility when he backed down on his “slut” reference to the promiscuous law student who thought we had an obligation to pay for her extracurricular activities. I won’t comment on this particular interview with Rubio until I read the transcript, but if Rush stops being the voice for anti-establishment conservatives his audience will shrink dramatically. We can get the party line from NRO and other such publications. Rush has been able to carve out a loyal following because he’s been willing to poke the Dems and other leftists in the eye with a sharp stick and because he hasn’t been a lapdog for the e-GOP.
Rush also said that he would be in favor of amnesty including citizenship if those receiving it couldn't vote for 25 years. This is dumb for a number of reasons. Granting amnesty will result in huge costs for this country and make our unemployment problem worse. And if such a law were to pass, it would be challenged in court and we would lose. There is no way that you can create a second class of citizenship where one couldn't vote for 25 years.
I like Rush and listen to him daily. On immigration, he needs to get better informed. Shilling for Rubio just because he is the point snake oil salesman trying to give us McCain-Kennedy again is just plain dumb.
