RUSH: Republicans are in a panic here deciding to now work with Democrats on bringing more Democrats into the country, more low-income Democrats. Illegal immigration means more low-income Democrats. It is this outreach business.<\/p>\n

I want to give you some numbers that I mentioned late last week<\/a>. In 1984, Ronald Reagan was elected president with 37%… By the way, I don\u2019t care how far back you go, no Republican has ever received more than 40% of the Hispanic vote. No matter what they\u2019ve done, no matter what they\u2019ve said, no matter what their policies were, no Republican has ever received more than 40% of the Hispanic vote. It\u2019s systemic. It votes Democrat.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

They vote not based on immigration at all, and here\u2019s the proof. In 1984, Ronaldus Magnus wins in a landslide, and in \u201984 Ronaldus Magnus got 37% of the Hispanic vote. Two years later, Reagan signed into law amnesty for three million illegals, called Simpson-Mazzoli. Now, according to the wizards in the Republican consultancy class, that should have meant droves of Hispanics voting for the next Republican in 1988.<\/p>\n

Reagan got 37% and passed amnesty. We showed the Hispanics we love \u2019em, we cherish \u2019em, we care about \u2019em. We granted them amnesty. We gave citizenship to three-point-some-odd million of them in 1986. The next presidential election is George H. W. Bush in 1988. The percentage of the Hispanic vote that he got two years after amnesty was 30%. So \u201984, Reagan: 37% Hispanic vote.<\/p>\n

Two years later, amnesty (which was supposed to really make us loved and adored and really supported at the polls). Two more years, 1988, George H. W. Bush loses 7% of the Hispanic vote from Reagan\u2019s \u201984 totalitarians. So after amnesty… Now, you might not be able to claim that amnesty loss, but it certainly didn\u2019t get us any more votes. We lost votes. Now, how do the Wizards of Smart on the Republican side explain this? I want to hear the explanation for this.<\/p>\n

Again, very quickly (I know numbers are tough to follow on radio): in \u201984, Reagan, 37% Hispanic vote in a landslide. Two years later, he grants amnesty to three million illegals. And in two more years, George H. W. Bush only gets 30% of the Hispanic vote. Two years after amnesty, the Republicans lose 7% of the Hispanic vote they had prior election. So where is this empirical evidence that reaching out and granting amnesty or pathway to citizenship or whatever works?<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t any evidence that it accomplishes what the Republicans are dreaming that it will accomplish.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So if amnesty does not get us more votes, folks, what is it that we are dealing with here? It\u2019s this… (playing of Baracka Claus is Coming to Town) That\u2019s “white comedian” Paul Shanklin with the vocal portrayal there of Barack Obama, Baracka Claus <\/a>is Coming to Town. We\u2019re working on other Baraka Claus Christmas parodies for the upcoming Christmas season.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, folks, while all this Benghazi sex stuff — The Real Housewives of West Point <\/a>— is going on out there, President Obama has a meeting today. He has official meetings today. You know with who? A bunch of leftist, radical groups. Today, Barack Obama is meeting with “labor leaders and progressive activists to discuss the fiscal cliff strategy.”<\/p>\n

He\u2019s meeting with labor union leaders and leftist activists to discuss what to do about the coming fiscal cliff.<\/a> And, of course, the advice he\u2019s gonna get is, “Let\u2019s go over it! Let\u2019s go over the cliff!” Because they think the only people that are gonna get hurt going over the cliff are the rich, who deserve to get hurt because they have so stolen everything from everybody since the country was founded. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: If you think that I\u2019m wrong on this immigration business and Republican outreach, I want to give you California. California is the future of the country.<\/a> Do you realize between 1952 and 1988, 1988\u2019s the important year, that is when massive immigration began in California. Between 1952 and 1988, Republicans won every presidential race except 1964. Democrats have won the last five elections. What\u2019s the difference? Between 1952 to 1988, Republicans won every presidential race. The Republicans were, to one degree or another, relevant players in the politics of California. And then the floodgates opened in 1988. And I\u2019m sure the Republicans in California thought, “You know what, if we reach out we can get some of these people to vote for us.” <\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t gonna happen, the current makeup of things. It just isn\u2019t gonna happen. Because the Republicans aren\u2019t even willing to be honest with themselves about why the Hispanic vote, minority vote goes to the Democrats in the first place. They really want to believe it\u2019s because they don\u2019t reach out or their media people say things that hurt their feelings or what have you. As long as the Republicans are gonna be in denial about why they\u2019re losing elections, they\u2019re never gonna get to the bottom of fixing it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
