I turned him off too.
He was giving the BS line that the only reason that illegal immigration is an issue is because Bush made it an issue. That's BS... it's an issue because the vast majority of Americans are fed up with it and FORCED it to the table, forced them to acknowledge it.
I had to turn him off during his mantra of:
No reponsibility or liability from employers for anything wrong in this world.
I think the Dubai brouhaha helped bring this issue to the front, even if it was a bank shot. Port security led to border security. I guess the DEMs see a chance to score a similar victory.
And he would have 70% of the country behind him if he went ahead and put troops on the border. They are all being dragged kicking and screaming to do something about this issue.
We as voters better make sure a price is paid by all this election by voting out of office anyone that does not take a strong stand - and action - on the border issue.
Where is that post with the voting record again?!
It is difficult to be a conservative, right and not nice.
Thanks for the heads up. I was going to listen after they posted the show on "Rush 24/7." Now I won't bother. I get enough open borders claptrap here.
By the way, does anybody know what's happened to Michael Savage? Serious answers, please. His last live show was last Tuesday and it's been all repeats for a week. No Rick Roberts, no substitutes...Anybody know what happened to him?
I listened to him for a little bit today- yet it was difficult- I don't understand ostrich-speak very well.
"I had to turn him off during his mantra of:

That struck me as particuarly dimwitted, too.
However, what REALLY bothers him is the Da Vinci Code, which he's been blathering on about for close to an hour now.
Belling doesn't get it, and is an idiot! There is a way to get rid of 20 million illegal aliens. Deny them work and benefits! Limit the amount of money they can send to $50 a month! They will leave here like they left Mexico!
I turned it off, too... bad choice today.
I listened to his weasel words about ten minutes before cutting off the show today. Rush lost lots of audience for his sponsors by putting this loser on the air today, and we should let him know it.
Rush has been trying to promote that stupid movie also. Sometimes I think he forgets who his listeners are. I didn't listen for about three weeks during the Dubai Ports episode.
No, Belling is correct. There was nothing on either the House or Senate calendars this session to deal with immigration until Bush reiterated his desire in early 2005 for immigration reform.
This issue wasn't even on the radar in the 2004 elections. To say that Americans forced it is preposterous.
He's a boring twit and his Wisconsin accent bordering on MinnaSODA-ese is grating after a while. Like listening to your overly-earnest college prof drone on.
Anyone with the subscription should send Rush an e-mail about it.
The pro-open borders crowd, whatever their reasons make me sick!
If someone would just yell out at them, "What about enforcing the laws written in the Simpson/Masoli 1986 Bill, signed by Pres. Reagan? That would be enough to put a stop to all of this guest worker/amnesty/social security giveaway crap. What's so hard for you to understand, idiot, enforce the law!
I lived in California for 21 years, and it's been an issue there for a long time, but the rest of the country wasn't impacted. Now that the problem has spread all over the country, it's reached critical mass.
Another reason it's now a hot issue is because the illegals have had the colossal nerve to hold their protest marches, proudly displaying the Mexican flag and demanding their "rights"!
I love President Bush, and had the honor of voting for him twice. I agree with him on everything but this issue.
