Rush Limbaugh Two excerpts below:
"RUBIO: You know, our argument about limited government is always harder to sell than a government program. It always has been. I mean, it's easier to sell cotton candy than it is to sell broccoli to somebody, but the broccoli is better for you, and the same thing with a limited government. Yeah, it's a lot easier for a politician to sell people on how a big government program is gonna make their life better, but I think ours, once we sell it, is more enduring and more permanent and better for the country. It is a challenge. And, by the way, it's not just a challenge for people that are immigrating here, it's a challenge for people that are born here. We have a real fight on our hands to convince the American people that limited government and free enterprise is the right thing for our future. I think that's a real challenge across the board given some things that have happened in our society."
"RUSH: Well, you have a difficult job ahead of you because you are meeting everybody honestly, forthrightly, halfway, you're seeking compromise. Obama is seeking political victory. Obama doesn't care about enforcing exist[ing] law, so people say, "Why will he enforce anything that's new?" He sued Arizona for simply trying to enforce existing federal law. You've got a tough job ahead of you."
After the interview, Rush followed up with these points:
Resist Cynicism About Marco Rubio
"We've got a president who's not enforcing existing immigration law. He says that he's not gonna have border protection in his bill, which he's announcing today."
Rush's audience reacts to Rubio
...."RUSH: I know. They own the low-information voter segments. They own pop culture. They own books, TVs, movies. They own the classroom. That's a key.
CALLER: I've got kids that I'm constantly countering the message they're getting in school. And we're in a fairly conservative district and they're still getting --
RUSH: I know.
CALLER: -- not a conservative message.
