RUSH: Patricia in Hopewell Junction in New York. Yes, there is a junction in New York. This is not New Mexico.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hopewell Junction, New York. Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet, Patricia. How goes it? How are you? What\u2019s happening?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s going great. We\u2019re getting system snow here, Rush, but we\u2019re muddling through.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, be careful. You can slip on that if you go outside. You can also have a heart attack if you shovel. Well, your husband could or your boyfriend or your whatever.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My husband\u2019s out there now, so hopefully he\u2019ll be okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did he turn on the media first to learn what he should and shouldn\u2019t do before he went out there?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, he did not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, then all bets are off. He could die.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, gosh. Anyway, hey, Rush, I just put the radio on and I heard you talking about amnesty.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: And illegal immigration. I just wanted to mention, get your thoughts. I just finished reading a book by Ralph Peters, Endless War<\/a>. I\u2019m not sure if you are familiar with that, but he touches on amnesty, and he comes up with a really great idea, I thought. If we did that, not giving the illegals a pathway to voting, then. So I just wanted to get your thoughts on that much.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I myself suggested a similar proposal about six months ago, and I have repeated it over the course of the past six months<\/a>. Very simply it\u2019s this. I\u2019ve told everybody in this audience. I\u2019ve told the Democrats. I\u2019ve told the media. I\u2019ve told the Republicans. I, too, will support amnesty if the newly made citizens cannot vote for 25 years.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Great. Yep.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And of course there\u2019s not one person who supports it, because the whole point of amnesty is registering them as voters.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Wow.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s the whole point of it, Patricia. You don\u2019t think it\u2019s big-hearted compassion that\u2019s behind all this, do you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, absolutely not.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, good. Whatever number of people we\u2019re talking about, and it\u2019s anywhere from 12 to 20 million, both parties see them as potential voters. It\u2019s all it is. The reason why it\u2019s a death sentence for the Republicans, Patricia, is that the Democrats already get 70% of the Hispanic vote and they do because 70% of Hispanics living in this country buy — this is polling data here. This is not my wild guess. They say that they believe that government should be the primary source of prosperity. They believe in it. They believe in big, activist government involved in everybody\u2019s life, 70% of the Hispanic vote.<\/p>\n

So, essentially it\u2019s two-thirds. Let\u2019s say you have ten million illegals, seven million of them are automatically gonna vote Democrat. Republican Party\u2019s finished. It\u2019s a mathematics conclusion. It\u2019s not any more complicated than that. And there\u2019s nothing that the Republicans can do. I\u2019ll give you another contradiction. I mentioned this yesterday. If you listen to the Republican proponents for immigration reform, amnesty, what have you, whatever you\u2019re gonna call it, they always say that Hispanics are Republicans-in-waiting. That these are big family value, churchgoing, largely Catholic, I mean, they are Republicans-in-waiting, okay? Accept that. Then why are you making a move for gay marriage? Because obviously somebody who\u2019s devoutly religious is not gonna support homosexual marriage.<\/p>\n

\"\"So I think this is a disaster here for the Republicans to support amnesty. They are signing their own death sentence. And it\u2019s mathematics. It\u2019s nothing more than mathematics. It\u2019s not even theology. If amnesty ever does happen with full citizenship and the right to vote, then the country becomes California politically, where the Republicans don\u2019t ever have a prayer. That\u2019s what\u2019s at stake. So the idea, Patricia, is to illustrate that by suggesting, “Okay, hey, you know what? I\u2019ll go for amnesty, but they can\u2019t vote for 25 years. How many of you support it then?” And there\u2019s not one Democrat that will. Nobody will. It\u2019s simply a way to call \u2019em out.<\/p>\n

By the way, with the Hispanics being Republicans-in-waiting, just waiting, I mean, they\u2019re conservatives at heart. Okay, so why do the Republicans want to moderate on abortion and why do the Republicans want to get squishy on gun control? I mean, conservatives are not supportive of any of that. So I just don\u2019t think that they\u2019re being honest with themselves. I\u2019m still stuck on this fat and drunk lesbian question. I can\u2019t get over this. I mean, are they drunk because they\u2019re fat or are they fat because they\u2019re drunks? It\u2019s the National Institutes for Health doing the study. It isn\u2019t me. I\u2019m just reporting what\u2019s going on. Patricia, thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
