I listen to Rush occassionally and I’ve heard him say rubio is Good EXCEPT for immigration.
“I listen to Rush occassionally and I’ve heard him say rubio is Good EXCEPT for immigration.”
If I had a grandfather who served as a cook for the SS under Hitler and then apologized for even playing that small role in the extermination of millions of Jews, I might later say my grandfather was a good guy except for the time he worked for the SS.
On the other hand, if my grandfather reported directly to Hitler, and was directly responsible for masterminding the Holocaust, then I would have trouble saying the above.
If Rubio was the cook (as were most Republicans that voted for it), then yes, maybe he admits a mistake and moves on. But if he’s the MASTERMIND, we should NEVER give him the chance to achieve that level of political power again in his career.
The Gang-of-Eight bill was DEAD ON ARRIVAL without Rubio - heck, even Pelosi wouldn’t touch the issue when the Dems ran both houses of Congress with VETO-PROOF DEMOCRAT MAJORITIES - she simply would not move on it unless the Republican put their fingerprints on it too - that is what she said and THANK GOD Rubio wasn’t there yet (this was 2009-2010).
With Rubio it came WITHIN HOURS of becoming law, even with a STRONG REPUBLICAN MAJORITY in the House. There is NO WAY to ‘look past’ the issue and only focus on ‘the rest of the man’ - Rush doesn’t do that with others, why did he do that with Rubio? That was the part that many here, Snerdly, and most of Rush’s listeners could not understand. Now we know.
There are others here that say Rush actually lobbied for the Gang-of-Eight bill (and earlier forms of amnesty) - if he did, I also didn’t hear it. Rush certainly lobbied against those bills and REALLY HELP people like me understand the stakes involved - and this is why we could not understand Rush’s fawning over Rubio.
(by the way, if you don’t like the Nazi analogy, then come up with a better one...but I put both virtually at the same level - considering the damage that will be done to this country with one-party rule by today’s Democrats...and I would not rule out a Cambodia/China/Soviet-type ‘cleansing’ and ‘re-education effort’ if they got uncontested power...nothing in their behavior today shows it couldn’t happen)
