I’m not sure about having his own seminar callers but I’ll tell you one thing that Rush has always done, and that’s to spike calls on subjects where his view is diametrically opposed to most Americans. The classic being immigration, illegal as well as legal.

From his start in 1989 until the big Bush Amnesty War of 2007 he wouldn’t take calls on illegal immigration. Rush was approached by people in the major immigration control outfits who asked him to address the issue and he wouldn’t do it. He would parrot the GOPe, US Chamber of Commerce open borders line to them.

That finally crumbled during the huge amnesty fight when the voters, including a large portion of his audience, were melting down the Congressional phone lines with angry calls against amnesty. At that point Rush figured out that being waterboy for Dubya maybe wasn’t his best plan.

Wow, I never realized Rush was carrying amnesty water. Thanks for the historical explanation. He was either clueless or already bought and paid for then.

I now realize he was being controlled with Obama’s little eligibility problem, never spoke on the fact BCs or that our President doesn’t pass eVerify.

And now he is pushing Cruz who on paper wasn’t American until he was 16, then was sort of retroactively American. He was natural born Canadian.
