That doesn’t make it right. Fact is he is ineligible. I will not vote for the GOP ticket if Rubio or Jindal are on it. Rubio has stated numerous times that his parents were exiles that wanted to go back to Cuba. That is why the rule is in place. If the political situation were to shift in Cuba and Rubio was president, I could not be sure he’d act in our best interest.
Why is it that any articulate Conservative orator or elected official is automatically assummed or promoted by some people to be a candidate for the White House’s Oval Office??????
Rubio is very obviously a CONSERVATIVE Patriot. He supports, defends, and follows the Constitution of the United States. He is a thoughtful and courageous Senator/Legislator. It’s what we like about him, and praise him for.
He rejects the path that Obama has set the country on because his parents saw where that path leads in their own native land, Cuba. He speaks elequently about his opposition to the policies of Obama the Marxist Usurper. He knows that Obama is America’s Castro.
Rubio also knows that he is NOT eligible to become US President because of his birth to un-naturalized foreign citizen parents. He does not meet the eligibility requirements of Article II of the Constitution for the Office of the President. In recognition of this, when asked about a presidential run, he has stated several times that he will not be running for that office.
I’m waiting for him to tell people why he is not running....becausae of Constitutional ineligibility...... and point out the same reason for Obama. Will he wait for the most opportune time in the 2012 election cycle to do this? Announcing the reasons for his ineligibility, in itself, would be the act of a true patriot and defender of the Constitution!
Lets see if Rubio can continue to live up to his billing.....
I think that he and Bobby Jindal could both be the forces that undo Obama. Each of them has the status and standing to challenge Obama on Constitutional grounds.......each is a minority.....each came from difficult circumstances to rise above their peers, none of them is ineligible because of the Article II Natural Born Citizen requirement......each is is a position to provide a selfless act for their countrymen and Nation by uncovering and helping to remove Obama from the Presidency.
There is no downside for either Marco or Bobby in doing the above. (The left already hates them and that will not change in any event.) There is a huge upside for the nation.
” none of them is ineligible..”
opps s/b “....one of them is eligible...”
need coffee.....
All the left has is the politics of destruction. They are beneath contempt.
Ah heck!
“.....none of them is eligible.....”
It is amazing how small the upper end political establishment is. The other side knows what is afoot.
Question... Who has a fund raiser in Florida upcoming? :)
While stationed in Havana, my late wife and I resorted to writing notes to each other on legal pads, then taking them into work the next day and running them through the shredder. There were several U S Diplomatic families as well as the Marine Security Guards’ house within four blocks of us. A Cuban goon had defected to Miami and was debriefed extensively and admitted that he worked in a nearby house, transcribing our recorded conversations. Surprise, surprise!
These sisters were passionately angry, understandably so. They thought they escaped, but yet here they were, facing it once again. Heck, I became angry just listening to their stories!
It does look like Rubio is going to be the new prime target for destruction. The whole Alinsky treatment. It will be interesting to see how this develops. I suspect the GOP in this case will actually man the barricades and rush to his defense... unlike the case with Palin, in which they basically left her to the jackals, never lifting a finger to help.
I think there are at least two aspects to this. Interesting that the Dems have to smear and lie, with help from the Washington ComPost, because they assume that conservatives are just as crooked as they are.
The Compost needs to issue a front page apology for lying.
The other aspect is that Obama assumes that the opposition are just as crooked as he is. Well, maybe some RINOs are. But the real conservative opposition is not.
Rubio is not running. And I would immediately object, if he changed his mind (which is unlikely), that he is not a natural born citizen and therefore is not qualified. Any more than that lying crook and illegal Communist/Muslim immigrant Obama was qualified.
The way to beat crooks and liars is not to outlie them—not if you want to save our country from destruction. We need a return to Constitutional law and order.
My dad was chief engineer of Radio Nacional de Cuba from 1946-1950, an IT&T company. I was born in ‘50 and when my mom was ready to travel we picked up and moved to Brazil where IT&T made him GM of Radional do Brasil. IT&T brought us back to New York in ‘57. My dad had many Cuban friends in the professional/executive ranks who were living abroad when Castro took over. Many would have liked to have returned to Cuba. As a teenager I grew up in DC and knew many of the excruciatingly self-satisfied Pharisees that work at the WaPo.
Uriba started this onslaught on Rubio. Then some commentary tried to tie him to moving the FLA primary FOR Romney,(which almost had me blowing a gasket, but wasn’t true,) and NOW this.
They are trying to diminish him with the Hispanic/Cuban voters they need to keep in line for the election.,,espcially in FLA. I think it will backfire. FLA loves him.
Fool me once, shame on them. They will never do it twice.
My apologies, Kaslin!
Didn’t mean that graphic to go to you!
SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREEPERS, EVERYONE; ALL!
I am so with you on this issue! He is ineligible period... President or Vice President is out of the question. He may be a great conservative, but Senator is all that he can achieve.
Both parents not citizens at the time of his birth
Born on U.S. Soil
Citizen at birth, not natural born citizen! Not qualified for the 2 top positions of our country - Period!
hahaha - I was so going to correct you. But I see you are just having a bad typing day! Too funny....
Thanks.....My hair’s OK tho.....lolol
