It's Painful... Rubio Says We Must Legalize Illegals So They Can Pay for Border Security

[Gene Eric]

Regrets I didn’t here it. Only read the transcript here.

Good to know he rejected the “explanation”.

[CatherineofAragon]

Well...maybe the fact that he at least kept silent, instead of jumping to Rubio’s defense, is a good sign. I hope so. While Rush could be seen as a member of the boys’ club, Mark is not...I hope his eyes are being opened.

[Jane Long]

Jeez, yes, I did. I heard him say all the things about the bill that you've mentioned, I just never heard him call out Rube. Saying he's been "used" by McShame and Grahamnesty is just giving a Rube a pass.

I've yet to hear Mark come out and directly say he was lied to and betrayed by Rube...because that's exactly what happened.

Mark's directly (and, deservedly) called out so many others...like all of the other Senators who voted Yea to move this crap sandwich forward, Paul Ryan, Jebbie Bush...but, for some reason, not MarcoPhone.

[Jane Long]

Hopefully so.

I agree...Mark is NOT a member of the boys' club.

As I mentioned on another thread a couple of days ago...maybe they're both (Rush and Mark) a bit embarrassed about even putting stock in this guy...with the interviews, etc.

Mark has spent the week excoriating the Immigration Bill, Rubio and his Gang of Eight.

[Norm Lenhart]

For anyone reading and wondering about this support/doesn’t support issue....ponder this bit of fiction.

Normie and Rush/Sean/Levin were sitting round the burned out shell of a car as behind them, the last of the echoes of gunfire rang out in the distance.

Following the disastrous immigration reform bill, the US economy crashed under the burden of over 50 million now legals flooding over the border.

“Why did this happen? It wasn’t supposed to be this way,” said the Constitutional scholar who should have known better.

“How did we not see this?” asked the NYC Fox host who ignored his audience?

“Why wasn’t this nipped in the bud when the GOP had the chance?” Queried the Radio talk show legend that made so many excuses.

Because you put the needs of your friend over those of your country, replied the only one left.

[CatherineofAragon]

That could very well be. Rubio used them....they should be good and angry about that.

[CatherineofAragon]

"Mark has spent the week excoriating the Immigration Bill, Rubio and his Gang of Eight."

That's very good to know. Thank you. I haven't listened to Mark in a while; I need to get back in the habit on Monday.

[VideoDoctor]

He's become "MARCO the RUBE."

[hinckley buzzard]

This was painful. Rush has been in the tank for Rubio. For some obscure reason he thinks Rube is a hard core conservative, just saying what he has to say to stay viable between campaigns. Guess even El Rushbo eats some crow once in awhile. Rubio has clearly sold out to the gods of the beltway.

[hinckley buzzard]

Rush had Rubio on his show, for a rare live interview, sometime back, and was sold. He has the sense, in light of more information, to get unsold. Nothing wrong with that.

[itsahoot]

Ryan might've been as effective.

I doubt it but it would have still been someone, Rubio was just a better tool for their purpose.
