"Rush, I love you, but you're dead wrong about Marco Rubio - he's a sleazy snake and his electability is a myth." ~ Keli Carender, Founder of the modern day American Tea Party movement
I love Rush Limbaugh. I'm not afraid to admit it. I am a 30-something Ditto Head. He's one of my heroes, and always will be. Therefore, it pains me to write this, but it must be done. I can't listen to this defense of Marco Rubio as a full-throated conservative any longer without going a little crazy. So, here it goes. Rush, I love you, but you're wrong about Rubio's conservatism, and wrong to think that he has a good chance to win in November.
I feel confident in predicting that millions of conservatives will not vote for Marco Rubio should he become the Republican nominee for President. There are too many conservatives that don't trust him, and refuse to choose between the lesser of two evils yet again. And we are correct in our distrust of Marco Rubio. He is not the conservative he claims to be, and he will lose to Hillary or Bernie because a great enough number of conservatives and tea partiers will stay home rather than vote for him. It's not just the starring role Rubio played in the Gang of Eight, though considering the transformational nature of mass amnesty, it certainly is enough to rule out ever voting for him. It's also his lack of integrity and willingness to lie to us over and over again that will cause so many of us to vote third party, write in a name, or leave it blank in November. Seriously, at least Jeb! is honest and up front about his non-conservative opinions.

She was fighting for conservative values and against nationalized education 30 years ago!
I value her cautions against Rubio more than anyone supporting Rubio including Rush.
Oh, and I value her support of Trump more than anyone against Trump including Levin.
Think again,he is bought out. Its the only thing that makes sense.He never gets behind a candidate and then raises hell about never carrying the gops water anymore and whats he doing now? He is carrying water for the gope candidate.Enough of his shit.
Rush brought me to conservatism. We loved each other from afar.... I loved him and listened daily, he quoted me at minimum three times verbatim from FR.
I can’t easily listen to him any more since the two stations he’s on here don’t come in comfortably here. I miss him and I am sad to think he doesn’t see that Rubio is just another forcefed oligarchy candidate. No chance to get our beloved Constitution back in a Rubio Presidency.
I remember once Rush was stuck in his limo outside a grocery store while an underling went in to buy something, and Rush was very critical of how regular people will go to pull a shopping cart from the bunch, and if it’s difficult give up and go to a different stack. He made it seem like it was a moral failing, so I started pulling EXTRA HARD to get a stuck cart outside of stores. Then he got somewhat unfairly exposed as an opiate addict, and the next time I got a stuck cart, I gave up easily and picked a free one. Nobody’s perfect. ;)
Rush has finally jumped the shark in regards to Rubio
Rush has finally jumped the shark back in 1992.
Bravo!
As Breitbart News has previously reported Rupert Murdoch, Fox News founder, is the co-chair of what is arguably one of the nations most powerful immigration lobbying firms, the Partnership for a New American Economy.
Via his lobbying firm, Murdoch endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio.
BIG DIFFERENCE.rufeeo is a politicaian who voted with the gang of eight.Trump was/is a private citizen and was not involved in the vote to screw the middle class.Trump sure as hell sees whats going on and is against it and has publicly stated so.
.
Well in some ways, they both sort of did.
Santelli make his remarks on CNBC on February 19, 2009 (I watched it live, and it was amazing!)
As Per Wikipedia:
Keli Carender (born c. 1981) is an American blogger credited with being the first Tea Party protest activist[1][2][3] when she was the principal organizer of a protest of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 on February 16, 2009. Carender started her blog Redistributing Knowledge on January 25, 2009, writing under the nom de plume Liberty Belle.[4][5][6]
So Santelli make the comments, and Carender started a blog on January 25 and organized a protest that occurred on January 16.
Best endorsement to date, by far.
(...from a Cruz guy)
Rubio was all to anxious to join up with the power Washington Establishment, sold his soul to the devil.
Rush really messed up with the Establishment Rat Mr. Amnesty Rubio enforcement.
There is no way in h@ll will I ever vote for Rubio under any circumstance. Rubio is Establishment Plan B and a Hispanic Obama with a “R” by his name.
Oh I stand corrected, MIchelle Malkin has an earlier date than Feb. 16...

It’s here!
For the Johnny-Come-Latelys in the MSM who will be dispatched by their editors to file obligatory stories about the hundreds of Tax Day Tea Party protests across the country today, here is a cheat sheet to get you up to speed.
Feb. 15: Keli Carender, who blogs as “Liberty Belle†spread the word about a grass-roots protest she was organizing in Seattle to raise her voice against the passage of the trillion-dollar stimulus/porkulus/Generational Theft Act of 2009. It’s the first time she had ever jumped into political organizing of any kind. She is not affiliated with any “corporate lobbyist†or think tank or national taxpayers’ organization. She’s a young conservative mom who blogs. Amazingly, she turned around the event in a few days all on her own by reaching out on the Internet, to her local talk station, and to anyone who would listen.
Feb. 16: An energetic crowd of about 100 people came downtown to lambaste the Chicken Little process and the lard-up of the stimulus bill:
(American Typo)
Here’s Keli with the yummy lunch. Yeah, big-money conspiracy! I pitched in a few hundred bucks to buy some pulled pork for the Seattle protesters:
Word of the Seattle protest spread across the blogosphere. Readers suggested there should be a Denver protest on Feb. 17 to greet President Obama for the porkulus signing. Separately, the local chapter of Americans for Prosperity was already working to put something together on the fly. I met the head of the state AFP for the first time on the steps of the Capitol. No conspiracy here, tinfoil hatters. It was a union of like minds in an impromptu show of outrage against the legislation-without-deliberation process in Washington. Also there: Jon Caldara of the libertarian Independence Institute on one end of the spectrum and Tom Tancredo on the strict immigration enforcement end (hundreds of the protesters were mad about the absence of E-Verify standards for the stimulus funding):

More big-money conspiracy! I promised to bring a roasted pig. Paid for out of pocket. No corporate lobbyist pitched in. Tasted great and worth every penny:
Speaking of pigs, you can’t leave out the tax-and-spend revolt campaign against Chuck Schumer in response to his arrogant statement that only the “chattering classes†cared about the “teeny, tiny†pork amendments in the Generational Theft Act. Local radio host Leland Conway in Kentucky called on listeners to send Schumer pork rinds. A mountain of 1,500 bags poured into the station on Feb. 16 and was shipped to Schumer:
On Feb. 18, 500 fed-up taxpayers showed up in Mesa, AZ to oppose President Obama’s campaign for massive expansions of the government mortgage entitlement and to mock what SC Gov. Mark Sanford rightly called savior-based economics. No top-down organization. Just the effort of local talk radio station KFYI. No Beltway GOP involvement. Zero national media coverage. But reader Al Swanson shared his photos with us here:
On Feb. 19, reader Amanda Grosserode e-mailed that she was organizing a tax revolt protest in Overland Park, KS the following weekend. More than 400 people showed up in freezing weather to protest Rep. Dennis Moore’s vote for the bill. Glenn Reynolds did the reporting the MSM didn’t do.
Here’s Amanda:
On Feb. 19, CNBC’s Rick Santelli issued his now-famous “Tea Party†call — prompted, many people forget, by Obama’s mortgage entitlement expansion plans (proposals I’ve protested whether from Democrats or moron Republicans):
David Hogberg of Investor’s Business Daily was the first MSM reporter to cover the burgeoning tax revolt protests. Here’s an excerpt of what Hogberg wrote on Feb. 20:....
Soo technically I think she did start it, but there were many patriots on same page with a lot of groups forming :)
RubiRINO sucks. ....
Bingo.
He said it would have a big door in the wall.He didn’t say they would be able to come back through at will.
He has said he would expedite the “good ones” back in. People that broke our laws and had to be deported should be GONE for GOOD!
Give the guy a break....can’t please everyone and he should not try....this is one heck of a race, Rush is sure to make somebody mad at any given time. Tale it with a grain of salt and move on.
Sadly, Rush has been very inconsistent in some of his comments. Prior to Iowa, in the earlier phase of the primary season, he would support Trump and Cruz. Lately he bashed Trump I listened to nearly 1.5 hour at start of his show on Tuesday and informed him I don’t want any more 24/7 subscriptions in the future....
Then either Tuesday or Wednesday he defended Marco Rubio as a “full-throated conservative” and pointed to his his election as a Tea Party candidate in 2010 while disregarding Rubio’s past and recent record. Great, Rubio was voted in on Tea Party creds, but he lost them, so don’t know why he mentioned them.
NOt sure why he is doing this, but he is clearly being inconsistent—and I am positive he would not have supported an amnesty pimp like Rubio in the past.
Why do I need to give the guy a break? Why should I give him a break? The really sad part is that many “low information GOP voters” follow him like Moses.
Read his words carefully.I’m all for it.
From Breitbart:
Trump stated that Mexico has to pay for a border fence, illegal immigrants in the US "have to go," and called for an end to birthright citizenship. He added, "when we have some good people, we have some very good people here, we have a lot of really good people. They're illegal. Now, you either have a country or not. We go out, and we're going to try and bring them back rapidly, the good ones. Rapidly. You know the word "expedited'?"
Trump also said he would rescind the president's executive actions on immigration. When asked about the cost of his plans, he responded, "Look at the cost of what we have right now." And pointed to the "tremendous" cost of and crimes committed by illegal immigrants right now before adding, "we will do it, and we will expedite it so people can come back in. The good people can come back in."
