I've listened to Mike for a few years and found him pretty Conservative on most issues but when it comes to Illegal Immigration and Illegal Aliens he has gone RINO.

According to Mike on his recent show a few days ago.

- It's not illegal to come to the USA and stay here since there is no law against it. Bush tried to get a law passed but it died with the Bush Amnesty Plan.

- There is a shortage of low skilled labor in the USA and we need more low skilled labor

- The immigration system is broken

- It would be too unkind to the families of illegal aliens to deport them if they have an American born child.

- It's totally impossible to deport anyone let alone some of the 15-20 million Illegal Aliens in the USA now.

- We can "Americanize" the illegal aliens by allowing them to stay and give them a work permit. Of course, they will pay a fine, back taxes, learn English


It's a sad state of affairs to see a once fine Conservative Radio guy tumble so far to the left on this issue.

Medved has been a RINO for years. True, he has certain conservative principles that he is very articulate in expressing, but he was the lead cheerleader for McCain and often disparaged conservative candidates running for state office in WA State. I quit listening to him years ago.

The only true free conservative, because we no there is no such thing as a free Progressive, is the one that's not bought off.

Very few that make it into politics, do not make it there, because they were bought of. They told the truth and had enough wealth, to over come the wealthy buying off their opponent. Lies catch up with you eventually.
There are more CINO's in the Republican party, than true Conservatives.(Conservative in name only) They even tried to put a conservative label on Mitt "I'm a Progressive Republican" Romney!!! Man that was a stretch. They are trying it with big government Jeb.
The Progressive movement of Woodrow Wilson's 1900's, made sure of that. Remember Hoover was a Progressive, as was Teddy.


Today, people are able to be informed almost instantly. The progressive masks came off and exposed the truth.
The drastic trend to a more conservative nature in society, has pushed back the Progressive stranglehold this nation has had for 100 years. Prosperity happens for all, when government gets out of the way. Prosperity happens for the connected few, when government picks winners and losers, by force.

Sounds like he became a pragmatist ... good for Medved

Wingnuts - be they leftwing or rightwing - do not accomplish anything except pollute the airwaves with Tweet sized stale rhetoric and cheap soundbites.
