BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Mitt Romney: If the Republicans win the Senate, we'll get amnesty, and he is happy about it. If Republicans win the Senate, we're gonna get amnesty! (clapping) He's clapping his hands. You want to hear it? Grab audio sound bite 15. Sunday morning, Fox News Sunday. Chris Wallace said, "The Senate, on a bipartisan basis, passed comprehensive immigration reform. House Republicans blocked it. So what?"
ROMNEY: You're gonna see a provision, first of all, to secure the border; second of all, to deal with those who've come here illegally; and third, to make sure that our immigration policies are more open and transparent to the many people who do want to come here legally. That's gonna happen. You're gonna see a bill actually reach the desk of the president if we finally have someone besides Harry Reid sitting in the Senate.
RUSH: He said it; you heard it. The establishment Republicans must actually believe that we're all chomping at the bit for the president finally to get a comprehensive immigration bill he could sign. They must think we really, really want this. They must think we're really frustrated out here. They must think that we want to win the Senate so that we can get an immigration bill -- which, of course, secures the border first.
Right, right, right, right, right.
There's other news about all of that and that kind of thing. I've got a whole Stack. Polling data... I don't want to tease it. I'll just get to it. But you'll... (interruption) After all that good news, I had to do it, because that sets up what's coming next. Heads up. The Republicans are running around... This is in Politico. But the Republicans are the source.
The Republicans are running around saying (summarized), "If we win, if Mitch McConnell wins and if all these establishment Republicans win, that means Republican Party is casting aside the Tea Party. That means mainline, Republican establishment, moderate policies are what Republican voters want." That's what they're setting up to say.

The Republicans are running around saying (summarized), "If we win, if Mitch McConnell wins and if all these establishment [RINO] Republicans win, that means Republican Party is casting aside the Tea Party. That means mainline, Republican establishment, moderate policies are what Republican voters want." That's what they're setting up to say.
Come on out TEA party and vote for our GOPe RINOs so that when we win, we can kick you TEA party people to the curb and swear up and down what you really want is the elites and the establishment pushing socialism down your throats.
Praise God that He is still in control not these elite/establishment clowns.
No need, I'm sure he, Mitch, Reince and John have it all in a nice memorandum.
aah, Thanks! I was wondering about that. I remember the strategery gaff, Bush made, and I actually remember William F. Buckley Jr.'s interview with "the reverend Jackson". Rush does that one very well.
stick amnesty and Romney up your backside!
“The thing he does that drives me up a wall for some reason is, he pronounces schedule as “shedule”.”
The British way...British shed-yool, shej-ool]
When I lived in Ireland I told them they must have learned how to pronounce shej-ool in schej-ool.
As for Rush, maybe he has a lisp on that one word.
Just think of how many more millions of dead dunkers his cult can process next year!
"Inoculate" is a much older word (from horticulture), and the practice is older as well, since it dates back to the 10th century in China and the Middle East. It involved the deliberate introduction of the same virus from a pustule on a smallpox victim into the body of another. It conferred immunity by the same organism.
Figuratively, it means to defuse or remove a threat or criticism by discussing it first. ("Defense counsel inoculated his witness against mention of his criminal record on cross-examination by bringing it up in his direct examination.")
"Vaccinate" is not used in this way. It originally involved the use of a related but not identical virus ("vaccinia" is cowpox) to induce immunity, so the idea of reducing a threat by mentioning it first doesn't fly.
And "contretemps" originally meant a fencer accidentally running his opponent through in practice because he was "out of time" i.e. out of synch. In modern usage, it means an unfortunate accident (from 1802) or a quarrel (from 1961).
"Chomping" is not preferred but is not technically incorrect, because it means the same thing - chewing noisily, which is what the original expression means. From a horsey point of view, though, "champing at the bit" shouldn't mean that the horse is anxious or excited. We want our horses to mouth the bit and move it around, because it means that their jaw and poll are relaxed and they are receptive to the bit. I even use a copper center on my horse's bit to encourage salivation and chewing.
He does misuse "literally" all the doggone time, though.
We've played that game before - tried to kick that football with everything we had, and Lucy pulled it away after we were committed. This time, especially with someone we don't trust heading the most lawless administration in history, we shouldn't fall for that trick.
First secure the border. Then nothing until we see whether the new border security actually works.
Second, if the law works and it is being enforced, then we can work on fixing the problem of illegals here without authorization (no, criminals should not be rewarded for their crimes - no criminal should have an advantage over legal immigrants who followed the rules as my ancestors did).
Third, if the border is still secure and the problems of illegals have been dealt with successfully, then we can fix our legal immigration system. Legal immigration should make it easier for people we want, those who will contribute to America as Americans, to come here and impossible for people we don't want to come here.
Good gawd.....this bull sh*t schtick again?
It’s the pay up now fix never canard of pragmatic Republicans. The provision probably has that magical 10 year number or some other “feature” for a future Congress to deal with.
GOP needs a lot of reforming or just a flat out “metamorphosis”.
You know what's going to happen if he or his people read this?
He's going to deliberately misuse "literally" about ten times as much --watch.
That has happened to him before, here, but with a different word, and things here went nuts.
Actually it was clear from his reaction that he was simply giving us a playful shout-out.
Eh...but yeah, probably the "literally" one is the only one that reallly bugs me.
Neo-statist Republicans, like their kissing cousins the Democrats, never give up.
STFUMR
Looks like that MR lie was just to position himself to the right of Perry and Gingrich during the 2012 primaries. The guy has about zero core principals, besides the idea that he should be President.
I’m not a Romney fan and I love Rush but Rush is wrong here. Romney has always wanted the illegals out and his full comments make that clear:
Romney waves specter of ‘amnesty’ over 2014

Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Sunday suggested that a vote for Democrats on Election Day is a vote for “amnesty” for illegal immigrants.
In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” the former Massachusetts governor said that “This is really the last chance for America to pass judgment on the Obama administration and on its policies. And the president himself said he’s not on the ballot, but his policies are.”
“It’s a policy also of basic amnesty for those people who come to the country illegally. I think that’s what we know where the president is going to head as soon as the election is over,” Romney said.
“The Republican Party is saying, look, we’re going to take a different direction,” Romney continued, saying that a Republican-controlled Senate would “secure the border” and “jump-start the economy.”
I guess that no one can come up with a solution that is somewhere between doing nothing and total amnesty.
Hard not to be blunt or straightforward...Instead of doing what is right and obviously needed, seems it’s made worse. Anyway, I hope no one was offended by the message. However, those who felt slighted will receive a whole chicken via USPS, when time permits and only as supplies last.
Why doesn’t this guy just gather up his clan and move to Guyana. They’ll even name a town after him.
One more time, please explain why a conservative should vote for a (globalist, open borders) Repub like Mitt?
His face says: I'm gunna launch, get this crew the f out of here.
Would ya like to buy an Oldsmobile?
Where is the GD toilet?
How do I look now?
