Glad you waited.  Great to have you on the program, Annette.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Thank you.  I just want to tell you, I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re saying <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=13366\">what you\u2019re saying today<\/a>.  I was a nervous wreck <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=13375\">yesterday<\/a> that we were gonna lose you as conservatives, and you\u2019re just right on today about the immigration thing.  My family immigrated here legally in 1955, and some more of them immigrated here in 2007, and we are against any kind of amnesty.  The Republicans didn\u2019t lose because of Hispanics.  The Republicans lost because they\u2019re not conservative enough.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I happen to think you\u2019re dead right.  I think that\u2019s why so many voters, Republicans who did vote in 2008, didn\u2019t in 2012.  I think that\u2019s why &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Many of my friends and acquaintances did not vote for Mitt Romney because they said they held their nose and voted for a moderate with McCain, and they only did that because of Palin, and they weren\u2019t gonna do that again.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_72190\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushDittoheadNation585.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  The one thing, and I hate to say this, I like Marco Rubio when he first came on the scene, but the one thing I\u2019m not hearing from any Republican is that anyone who came here illegally is never given the right to vote.  And if they want to do that first, and then go from there &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah. (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  &#8212; you know what this problem of illegal immigration, I support that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I proposed that.  Not yesterday, but last year, Annette, I said, as a means of illustration, the same point you\u2019re making, I said, &#8220;I, El Rushbo, will support blanket amnesty right now if they can\u2019t vote for 25 years,&#8221; and nobody took me up on it, because the whole thing is about votes.  Why did you think you\u2019re gonna lose me after yesterday?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, because &#8212; Marco Rubio is really convincing, and I was very worried, people tend to listen to what he says because of his ethnic background.  And he does not necessarily speak for the Latinos and Latinos who are here legally in this country.  And he seems to think they lost because of this Hispanic and Latino issue, and they didn\u2019t.  So I feel like he\u2019s a little bit deceived and he had a huge audience yesterday, and I just really &#8212; I feel like, as a conservative, we\u2019ve lost so many people, and I\u2019ve listened for 20 years, and I was scared.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Never, ever fear that I will ever do anything like that. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, thank you, because right now I feel like I\u2019m a woman without a party.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_72213\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushGOP585.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I know how you feel, but I\u2019m never gonna betray myself or you, never, ever.  What I said in the first half hour of this hour about immigration is exactly what I think about it.  It\u2019s an assimilation issue, it\u2019s a cultural issue, and I don\u2019t have time to go through it all here again, but I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re afraid you heard yesterday, but if you heard or if you\u2019re afraid that you heard that I somehow bought into amnesty, no way in any shape, manner, or form.  What I was praising Rubio on is what I heard as his unalterable position on border security as a first step, and if that doesn\u2019t happen, he\u2019s not voting for this.  That\u2019s what I was praising on him.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, I think it comes from a fear as a conservative of being abandoned by the Republican Party and feeling really hopeless when I supported these people with my vote for 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.  I know.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  And I feel very betrayed.  And, like I said, myself and many others feel like we don\u2019t have a party now.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I know.  I know.  I know exactly what you\u2019re talking about.  You have been betrayed so often, you expect it now.  I could give you names and I know you would agree with me, on people that you loved and you were just ready to go to wall for, and then one day they abandoned you.  I know what you\u2019re talking about.  We\u2019re not gonna do that.  One of the biggest fears that soldiers have is being abandoned on the battlefield.  We don\u2019t do that.  I couldn\u2019t betray myself, wouldn\u2019t do it, but I appreciate your calling, Annette.  Thank you so much. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Annette in Highland, Illinois. Glad you waited. Great to have you on the program, Annette.
