Has anyone noticed that Rush Limbaugh has gotten more face time on Fox News and other Right Wing Media outlets than ever perhaps in his entire career. I always thought Rush Limbaugh loathed Television appearances, so why is he going on Fox News? Is it really to kill immigration reform? And what does Rush get out of that? Why is he telling his listeners to stop watching Fox News and other right wing media? Is it solely because he hates them that much or is someone else pulling his strings. Obama always says Rush is the main problem with the right, but I've never seen him this fired up for months about a single topic.
In case you didn't know, these are the two theories about Immigration Reform inside the Republican Party:
If it is passed, Republicans will become so liberal that they wouldn't be distinguishable from the Democratic Party, and that it would mean the death of the party. This is Limbaugh's view, and most of right wing radio.
If it isn't passed, Republicans will not be appealing to Hispanic voters, and it will seem like they don't know how to function as a party and get things done. This will mean the death of the party. This is the view of Bush, Rubio and most of the party leadership as well as Democrats and liberals
I don’t believe the death of the Republican Party rests on a single bill in Congress. It shouldn’t! It does however, scare me that a few obnoxious radio talk show hosts can sway political opinions in the party by simply using scary talking points.

I used to listen to Rush. He's normally correct in what he says, but he is one pompous ass.I care not to notice the limpdicked asshole.

We can't enforce the laws that are on the books now. If anyone thinks that we're now all of a sudden going to close off the border if the senate legislation passes is naive at best. The house is the only hope of closing our borders FIRST, otherwise it will never get done.
Most the people you associate with is not most the nation. If Rush wasn't such a draw, he wouldn't be no. 1 in radio. Why is he any different for people to form opinions from than other pundits?That people actually listen to Rush and form their political opinions based on what he says is amazing to me. Even more so is when those same people are surprised to hear that most of the country thinks them to be idiots.
wasn't there a Kurt Russell movie about that?Wouldn't it just be easier to build a wall around Washington DC and just not let them out?
Hispanics on average have far more in common with the socially conservative right than they do with the prolabor left.
You're counting the illegal immigrants for that conclusion.That is a claim that is unfortunately very popular on the right - but it is wrong. Hispanics are more likely to produce broken homes and go on government subsidies. The whole "natural conservatives" thing is a myth.

1. As high as Rush's following may be, it is far from a majority of people listening to the radio. In fact, a majority of the people do not even listen to the radio.1.

2. Because he doesn't offer intelligent commentary, only simplistic solutions to very difficult problems. Limbaugh and his fans do not do nuance. hence, all you get from them is canned responses and stereotype "liberal this and liberal that" nonsense.
What's really neat is that you can read or hear what anybody has to say and then independently verify for yourself whether what you've read or heard is based on facts.
Limbaugh Displays Debt Ceiling Ignorance While Attacking CNN's Velshi. Limbaugh insisted that the federal debt ceiling is like a limit on credit card spending in an attempt to prove that CNN's Ali Velshi was a "low-information reporter." In fact, failure to raise the debt ceiling is actually like refusing to pay a credit card bill because it restrains the government's ability to pay its debts, not future spending.

Limbaugh Dismisses Guns' Role In Domestic Violence Deaths. Limbaugh dismissed the notion that Kasandra Perkins, who was killed in a murder-suicide by her boyfriend, NFL football player Jovan Belcher, would still be alive today if Belcher hadn't had a gun. In fact, data show that guns greatly increase the probability that women who are victims of domestic violence will be killed by their abuser.

Limbaugh: "Everything -- Except The Polls -- Points To A Romney Landslide." Under the headline "Everything -- Except The Polls -- Points To A Romney Landslide," Limbaugh's website posted a transcript of his radio show in which he said his "intellectual analysis" of the election was that "it's not even close. Three hundred-plus electoral votes for Romney." [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 11/5/12]
