When Sean Hannity suddenly evolved his position on amnesty to accommodate his idol Marco Rubio, I can't say I was surprised. All of Fox News has been in the tank for so long that it was inevitable. I don't see how someone, at his age and given the enormous amount of evidence against illegal immigration, could morph all of that into a 180 degree position. He didn't even pretend to put up a fight for Americans. He folded like a deck of cards. It was painful to watch someone so wimpified by someone he admires.
But when Glenn Beck this past week appears to have thrown in the towel when he had to speak to Rand Paul I couldn't believe it. I had previously searched his website to make sure I was clear on their position. Wilkow and his two buddies Pat & Stu seemed adamantly against illegal immigration and amnesty. Glenn purposely didn't talk to Rand that long on the subject on March 20th, hour 2, but had plenty of time to ask him anything he wanted.
Glenn bought off that everything will be OK because the Congress is going to vote on whether the border is secure. Gee Glenn how do you think that vote will come out? There was no mention of those 40% overstayers. No mention about e-verify. No mention of how this will stop future illegal immigration. No mention on what will happen to the illegals crossing tonight. No mention about voting, social security and obamacare that they will be demanding next. No mention how liberal they are. No mention on how they are going to take away all those drivers licenses, ss numbers, work permits or all the other stuff when say year 3, they find out the border is no longer secure. No mention of the cost. No mention of assimilating, welfare programs etc.. Glenn didn't catch the fact that there were 1 million farm jobs here last summer. Where are all the other 11 million working? And Glenn had no idea that the back of the line is 25 years. That is 25 years to come here (mainly because of family reunification comes before wanted immigrants) and then another few years to get a green card. So how is working legally in our country on day 1 going to the back of the line? Poor Glenn. He totally lost all his reasoning ability when speaking with his hero, Rand Paul.
So the situation is this. No one except for Americans without a mic, are opposed to illegal alien reform. Both houses of Congress, the media, special interest and business are all for amnesty. In 2007 talk radio saved this country. That may not be the case this time, especially since we are missing Lou Dobbs' Broken Borders segment on CNN every night.
Limbaugh, Levin and Savage, please save our country and get Americans to burn down the phone lines when the time comes. Start calling Senator Patrick Leahy now. He wants to pass it out of the Senate Judiciary Committee in one week before anyone gets enough time to read it and find out whats in it. Sound familiar? Leahy 202 224 4242 802 863 2525
To add insult to injury, I just learned that Freedomworks, Tea Party Express and the Tea Party Patriots are fine with this new amnesty. And they didn't even bother to ask the roots.
Tea Party Nation, however, is standing by their principles against illegal immigration and amnesty.

I think Sean has spent too much time talking to the Architect, Juan Williams, Bob Beckel, Tamara Holder, Austin Ghoulsby, Lamont Hill and various other utterly useless idiots from his audience who for some reason have their own introductory music which he actually sings along to...
Which is why I no longer bother listening to him.

Fox News in general has gone over to the dark side. People should have received the message when the station went ape chit over Romney. If they didn’t, they are dimmer than I. And I’m the burnt our bulb in the chandelier.

Hannity is a Republican. He is not a conservative.

According to him he is a registered conservative.
But what he should be is a registered waste of time.

I am so disappointed in Hannity on this particular issue. Show some spine man. His friend Levin, needs to talk to him.
But hey, lets get those calls in to Leahy!!

Michael Savage started his first hour yesterday with a sound bite of Ronald Reagan telling the nation why he’s granting amnesty, and it sounded like it could have been recorded yesterday. He then went on to say even the vaunted Ronald Reagan, who has been lifted to god-like status, was as maleable as any politician when it came to special interest groups.... who in Reagan’s day was Big California agriculture. Today it’s the hotel, hospitality, meat packing industries, and of course democrat votes. Same crap, different day. Savage has been unwavering since his debut in 94 on illegal immigration, and won’t fold. You can bet on it.

Here are the people that can GO TO HELL !
The GOP will lie to us in a heartbeat! But what do we do when our side is full of TRAITORS?
I submit the following for proof.
Check out this link,
"Senate Republicans Willfully and Knowingly Lie to Their Constituents (vote to fund Obamacare)".
The following Senators voted to pass the continuing resolution even though it still funds Obamacare. If any one of those senators tells you they did not vote to fund Obamacare or, in fact, voted against funding Obamacare,they are being mendacious.
They may have voted for Ted Cruzs amendment,
but after it failed,they still knowingly and willingly voted to fund Obamacare.
And now they are lying to their constituents who call them out on it.
Many of these same Senators are also supporting separate legislation to foist a massive tax increase on the American people.

- ...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften [immigration, gay marriage] stance]
- One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v. Wade... [Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run]

To: jdirt
Sen. Pat Leahy, D-VT. , is just another stinkin' Fabian Fascist, that needs to meet his Maker, right now!
I recommend:
Gloomy GOP Establishment Types Think They Will Lose Because of Immigration
Oh, the Futility! Establishment GOP Draws All the Wrong Lessons from Election Results
Can the GOP Win on Immigration Reform?
The Limbaugh Theorem Expanded to the Republican Establishment
" RUSH: Let me take a stab at something. You know the Limbaugh Theorem.
I think it could be expanded to the Republican establishment in parts, in this sense.
The Republican establishment sometimes acts as if they've never managed anything.
They act as if they don't control the Republican Party today.
They rail against straw men of their own creation.
Andy Card was on Martha MacCallum's show on Fox this morning and was talking about Republican Party has to be "inclusive, not exclusive."
Well, who's been running the Republican Party?It certainly isn't conservatives.
I mean, who's excluding who?
He didn't name names.
She didn't ask him, "Well, who's being excluded?"
But all I know is, it's not conservatives excluding anybody.
If anybody's being excluded, it is the conservatives.
Yet these establishment guys are coming along and trying to act likewhatever this party has become, they haven't been running it.
Just like whatever's happening to the country, Obama's not running it.
It's an amazing phenomenon!
These guys attack policies that they have contributed to:Amnesty, debt, growth of government.
I mean, let's admit it.The Republicans have done their own big spending.
They don't seem to be pushing much of spending cuts.
They're letting Obama have what he wants here,but they claim all the while to oppose all of this.
Now, don't misunderstand.I'm not saying these guys are the same as Democrats.
They're not the same as the radical left.
But I am saying that, in many parts, they're not taking responsibility for what's happened.
They go out, they lose elections, and they blame everybody else!
They're running the party. We're not.
Safe to say?I mean, they're getting the nominees they want and they're losing,and somehow it's our fault for being "exclusive"?
We're not excluding anybody!
You know, the Republican elites are the same as the Democrat elites,and they set up these straw men, and they try to act likeeverything they're doing is not their doing
and not their responsibility.
So when we as conservatives say,"Enough is enough!
There has to be at least one political party that represents liberty and property rights and the rule of law,"
the establishment in the party lashes outand calls us extremists
and then starts complaining that the party isn't a big tent.
All we're talking about is constitutionalism!Now, don't misunderstand.I'm not accusing them of being Obama,
but there are similar traits here as applicable to the Limbaugh Theorem.
I will expand on this tomorrow.
I have my little notes I jotted here off to the side, and I'll expand on 'em."

Savage never caved in. I give him credit
To: jdirt
Isn’t Limbaugh supporting Rubio? I like him and all but after his Rubio interview he went on the defense of Rubio.

Levin and Savage aren’t the only one left though. Dana Loesch, Rusty Humphries, Steve Deace, Steve Malzberg and others on our side agree with no Amnesty.

I think you’re right. When Rubio was on his show he kinda wimped out. But I believe he is back on the NO AMNESTY stand again.
You gotta watch these guys, they waver around too much.
