Rush touched on the immigration bill in a manner that I hadn’t considered today. His assertion is that Rubio et al are simply following the marching orders of the large Republican donors: Adelson, Koch, etc. This makes a lot of sense. The GOPe has become nothing more than the party of large corporate interests that are in bed with the government (just like GE, and many others that appear to tilt left) and happen to share our views from time to time. The Republican party is no longer the Conservative and / or Libertarian ally. In this perspective, it makes a lot of sense. Rush didn’t take the final jump in the thought process - demonstrating the importance of developing a third party to represent Americans. None the less, the GOP, Rubio, Paul, Graham, and the rest can all go to hell - they sold us all out for campaign funds and a promise of future monetary support to further their own selfish interest. FOAD!!
Rush is GOPe thru and thru, he sold out in 1994, Rush is a traitor.
I agree with this. Rubio has sold out to what many of us dislike now about most of these republicans.
What it really means, as Rush so ably pointed out is "CRONY CAPITALISM!"
During my time in elective office in the last half of the 90's it was heard more that the liberal cry of "CRYING UN-MET NEED!"
Nothing on this earth sucks like a "PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP!" The PUBLIC tries to out-suck the PRIVATE and the PRIVATE in turn tries desperately to get all that taxpayer money back!!!
Round and round it goes and where it stops... nobody knows!!!

Rush is not on to anything new, so don’t give him credit.
Anyone who has been the least bit involved in the immigration battle knew years ago that Republicans were in the tank with the cheap labor, big business cabals that funded their campaigns.
The Chamber of Commerce has written most of the amnesty legislation for years now, including the current bill. The Wall Street Journal has been for amnesty forever. Do a websearch for the 2007 video of all the WSJ editorialists guffawing over the ignorant bigoted racist rubes who were against illegal immigration.
With few exceptions - like a Cruz - the elected Republicans care only about getting re-elected. America could become a Third World hellhole and it wouldn’t bother them, as long as they’re doing well.
