Rush Limbaugh interview with Benedict Rubio

[Greg in LA]

I just read the transcript of the interview between Rush Limbaugh and Benedict Rubio.

This is Rubio's stratagy: Obama's amnesty proposal will not include border enforcement or work place enforcement first. Rubio and the gang of eight will have enforcement triggers first ( I'm not sure what comes second, but he is emphasizing triggers that "must" be met.)

According to Rubio, the gang of eights proposal is the middle path, it's the only option for any kind of enforcement. Join his "sensible" middle path amnesty or get Obama's far left amnesty. Those are the only options.

Rubio is also putting an out for himself a sort of "escape hatch", If it doesn't have enough enforcement he says he won't support it.

Rubio also says the proposal hasn't yet been written.


Here is my take on the interview:
Rubio positions is the false choice, Obama's version of amnesty or the Gang of eights's amnesty with a fine.

A sort of "Take it you peasants and you're lucky to get anything at all."
His goal is to herd low information Republican and independent voters, to run to Rubio, because they are frightened of everything Obama, Rubio will give them something, just trust Rubio because he's serious about enforcement. There are going to be triggers or he won't support it.

Rubio is positioning his proposal as the easy path for tired and weary Republicans that are tired of the fight. " Just trust "Tea party Rubio", because he's going to look out for the interests of Americans". That's the mantra. Of course Rubio is relying on his supposed "Tea Party" credentials to get Republican support, Of course the only Republicans that will be able to support it, will be the ones who know absolutely nothing about the proposal or the details, or they just want the cheap labor, to hell with anything else.

My opinion is that Obama's proposal and Rubio's proposal is really one in the same. just two different salesmen.

As for the "out" that he kept talking about, He's already seen the calls, thousands of people calling his office and calling him a "Traitor", He knows if it seems likely it won't pass he's going to bail-out at the last minute so that he can say "I did it to protect the American people," or"The Democrats gutted the enforcement that I called for so I no longer support it". Rubio wants to be President someday, I think he doesn't want to attach himself to an amnesty proposal that failed. Although it will be okay in Rubio's power hungry world to attach himself to an amnesty bill that passed.

Lastly, I would like to touch upon how talk radio, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, etc. is protecting Rubio.
Notice it's Rubio that is doing the interviews not McCain, or Grahamnesty, or Flake, Rubio is Hispanic with "Tea Party" credibility. Rubio, is the "chosen one" by the Republican elite. They, the Republican elite need to protect Rubio, in the same way that Barak Obama was sheltered. Republican elites need a "good" Hispanic, and they don't want him crushed if it back-fires.

Rubio, is going to take a beating during the amnesty fight, he's taking a beating in his office right now with the calls and letters. My theory is that Rubio has been chosen to be the new face of the Republican party. Fox news, Rush Limbaugh, Talk radio, ETC. are under strict orders to shield and protect Rubio. Rubio has been groomed to be the new face of the Republican party, they want him to sell the amnesty to the Republicans and they don't want him damaged during the fight.
