\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: From The Daily Caller, written by Neil Munro<\/a>. You remember the name Neil Munro ring a bell? There was a presidential appearance at the White House one day, last couple years. And the president made this announcement. There was supposed to be no questions asked but Neil Munro asked a question. Tsk-tsk! A no-no. Now, normally Sam Donaldson would have done this and it had been Reagan or Nixon? (applause) “Oh, man what a great journalist! What a great guy! This guy, Donaldson, he doesn\u2019t take no for answer! He just bores right in.”<\/p>\n

For Neil Munro, the journalists chased the guy down to the Washington Monument. They ran him out of the White House grounds. They were so mad at him for violating protocol. “There are no questions here, you idiot! You\u2019re not supposed to ask questions. Don\u2019t you understand, the president\u2019s protected from people like you?” The press corps just jumped all over Neil Munro. But he\u2019s still out there, still filing stories. This one is about an unreleased poll that shows Democrats are deeply split on amnesty<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Now, it is widely believed that the Democrat Party is 100%, full-bore behind amnesty. This poll says no. “Many Democrats and swing-voters strongly oppose President Barack Obama\u2019s immigration policies, according to previously unreleased information from a poll by George Washington University\u2019s Battleground poll.” You can see why this wouldn\u2019t be released. It might undercut the news media\u2019s lie that everybody\u2019s crying for amnesty, especially for Democrats. <\/p>\n

But this one shows there\u2019s a big split in the Democrat Party over amnesty. “The August survey of 1,015 likely voters showed that Obama\u00c2\u2019s immigration policy faces lopsided ‘strong\u2019 opposition and ‘somewhat\u2019 opposition, yielding 57% opposition to 38% support.” It\u2019s worse than that now. I think it\u2019s the NBC News\/Wall Street Journal, might be ABC\/Washington Post, whatever, Gallup. Obama\u2019s 30% approval on amnesty, 60% disapproval. <\/p>\n

“One of the polling firms sent the Daily Caller data showing how many demographic groups strongly opposed or supported Obama\u00c2\u2019s immigration policies. … The new data showed that 114 ‘conservative Democrats\u2019 split 28% strongly against and 23% strongly for Obama\u00c2\u2019s immigration policies.” The bottom line is, without going through all the details here, that there is a big gap between support and disapproval of amnesty even in the Democrat Party. Now, what does that tell you?<\/p>\n

It tells me that an anti-amnesty candidate could attract a lot of Democrat votes. But it seems like both parties are all-in for amnesty. And we know why. We\u2019ve talked about it numerous times. I just thought it would be interesting to pass on. Even among Democrat voters, there is a wide gap between approval and disapproval for amnesty. Speaking of which, Obama, the pro-amnesty group that was salivating for Obama to issue his executive order granting amnesty by Labor Day was sorely disappointed. <\/p>\n

They were beside themselves, very angry — Luis Gutierrez, Illinois among them. So they been running around crying about it, and the words come out of the White House, “Don\u2019t sweat it! It is gonna happen. Don\u2019t panic. It is gonna happen. It\u2019s gonna happen before the end of the year. Don\u2019t worry about it.” So the Regime is continuing to send signals to the pro-amnesty groups that it is gonna happen. He\u2019s just waiting for the right moment. Now, what is “the right moment to do it”.<\/p>\n

<\/line>When there\u2019s no popular support for it, when there is no credit to accrue for doing it… In other words, whoever does this, whoever signs off on amnesty — be it by executive order or legislation — whoever is seen as making it happen is not gonna be applauded. There isn\u2019t any credit to be had here. It\u2019s only blame and probably some pain at election time. So, under what circumstances would Obama do this, if there\u2019s no credit to be had?<\/line><\/p>\n

Now, clearly Obama doesn\u2019t care about that. Obama has a much larger agenda, with amnesty, and that is the further transformation of America and anything he can do to take down what have been the traditions and institutions that have defined greatness. But what circumstance would it be? If Labor Day wasn\u2019t right, and if now maybe not even before the election, at what point is it right? Since there\u2019s not popular support for it, what is the occasion, what is the impetus for it?<\/p>\n

If nobody\u2019s gonna get credit for it, nobody\u2019s gonna be applauded for it, or if no majority support for it exists, then when and why remain the big questions. I have always maintained that since whoever does this is gonna really get shellacked — I mean, whoever is seen as making this happen is gonna get really ripped — my view is that Obama is still trying to figure out a way to see to it that the Republicans have fingerprints on it — and, if he can do it, see to it that they are the ones who are seen as making it happen.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so Obama originally said that he was gonna grant executive amnesty by Labor Day. Then Labor Day came and went, and nothing. And then they said, “Well, it\u2019s gonna happen before Election Day.” And then they said, “No, it\u2019s not gonna happen. It\u2019s gonna happen after Election Day, but before Thanksgiving.” <\/p>\n

They keep putting it off, and again, the reason is, whoever is seen as responsible is not gonna get applauded. It\u2019s not supported. And they keep moving it back. Now the latest is, from the Obama camp — these are people that are being told by sources close to Obama, Democrats that want this, media people that want it — are being told by people close to Obama, it will happen before the end of the year.<\/line><\/p>\n

All right. What is going on that might make the end of the year relevant? I think that it\u2019s all going to be gauged by what happens to Mary Landrieu. There is a high likelihood, ladies and gentlemen, that Mary Landrieu\u2019s Senate race in Louisiana is gonna go to a runoff in December. Not guaranteed, obviously, but some of the smart thinking suggests that she\u2019s gonna find herself in a runoff. So they had to come off of the Thanksgiving target, Thanksgiving after the election. They had to come off of it. <\/p>\n

They can\u2019t do this before the Senate is decided, \u2019cause it\u2019s gonna destroy any Democrat who is incumbent or otherwise seeking the Senate. Well, it\u2019s gonna happen. It\u2019s gonna be a big obstacle. They know it\u2019s gonna be poison. They know that there is no credit that\u2019s gonna be given for this. If they announce that they\u2019re gonna do amnesty before her runoff — and they\u2019re gonna wait. If she finds herself in a runoff, you wait. They\u2019re not gonna announce amnesty until after that runoff election, because she will lose otherwise. If they do amnesty — and they need Landrieu to keep the Senate. Let\u2019s just see if that doesn\u2019t work out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
