Looks to me if it is true the party is pressuring him into this sellout position. He has been a staunch opponent of amnesties and illegal immigration as far as I knew, so I'm finding this sudden 180 kind of odd.
I certainly hope that proves to be a false rumor. I haven't listened to Rush lately but what I have noticed with Rush in the past is that he tends to tip toe around the general issue of illegal immigration and amnesties every time a caller brings the subject up. Often he will agree with the caller, make some comment that he will talk about the issue in greater detail later in his show and drop the issue cold.
So I do get the feeling that Rush does get heat from the Republican Higher-Ups on his views about immigration and is "persuaded" to avoid touching on the topic. But to turn around and ENDORSE a Blanket Amnesty on the grounds that Bush is a “Great War President”? That's Absolutely Outrageous. What does that have to do with Amnesties? In fact Amnesties are a National Security Risk to this nation!
If Rush has indeed been muscled by party types to join the Open Borders "Sell Out America" Crowd and use his substantial influence to sell this Cr*p to the rank and file you can bet the ranch that George Bush is laying the groundwork for one HUGE AMNESTY. And it shows just how powerful the Ruling Beltway Elite can be in controlling the media. Scary.
Where did you hear this?
