MARCO RUBIO'S FACEBOOK PAGE, DON'T ROCK THE BOAT!
self | Jan 25,2012 | swampsniper

Posted on 01/25/2012 9:48:26 AM PST by SWAMPSNIPER

I've made a couple of comments on Marco's Facebook page recently and they vanished almost instantly.

I have a definite feeling that discussion is not permitted there.

I've been an enthusiastic Rubio supporter from the git go but I'm really pissed off right now.

I must admit this election has seperated the men from the boys, so to speak. I have really been surprised at some “conservatives” We are really finding out who are friends are, aren’t we?

Rubio has always been a stooge.

Maybe it’s not about you. It’s his FB page.

Let’s all count to ten here. I think we all want Marco Rubio on our side.

IIRC, Mitt endorsed Rubio, and Rubio won. I’m not assigning causality here, but Rubio is grateful.

Newt is back in control, and most of us here think that is a good thing. So let’s be a bit more forgiving of, and less offensive to our Republican brethren.

Let’s remember Ronaldus Magnus’s 11th commandment - “Thou shalt not speak ill of thy fellow Republican”. Doing so gives the other side fodder for their bought-and-paid-for media.

Let’s band together and put the focus on the record of Baraq Obama specifically, and Liberalism in general.

Rubio is stiffing his Tea Party supporters. I hope he remembers the people who brought him to the dance. I for one donated to his campaign.

Well said.

I’ve liked what Rubio has said up til now, and am not writing him off over this. But we know the importance of examining the persons entire record, history, and positions over time. Rubio just hasn’t had enough time to be properly vetted, and we shouldn’t fall in love with a candidate just because of a few nice speeches (remember?)

Marco Rubio is great. Is there a FR term for the fact some people will enthusiastically go for any post, with zero supporting evidence?

I don’t prejudge your posts to Rubio’s FB, but with no information we already have people suggesting he is a “stooge” an insider, etc. All because his FB page may have deleted some comments.

Saw Rubio defending conservatism last night and I say Rubio for VP if not president.

I posted comments on a media outlet’s FB page last night and assumed they were wiping them.

It turns out FB was experiencing problems keeping up with the chatter last night and the posts I made ended up appearing at least 4 times.

Rubio is likely in a grey area between being establishment and being tea party. He likely wants a lengthy career in politics and has been told by the establishment if he dares to side against them, he’s done.

Decide what you will. I don’t know if he’s a bad guy or not, but I really don’t like Romney. If he chooses to side with Romney, I’ll lose a lot of respect for him and I think he’s putting his personal aspirations in front of the good of the country.

I would never support Rubio for VP or President.

He supported the censoring of the internet until enough people shouted about it. He supported the invasion of Libya to support terrorists, now he supports Romneycare/Obamacare.

Rubio just used the Teaparty to get elected. Those are the facts.

I’m not a huge fan of Rubio, nor or Romney, but...

I don’t think it’s fair to attack him over this. Seems to me that all he’s doing is trying to prevent damage to Romney in the event he’s the nominee, because then all this will be used against him. (Although, the argument could be made that the Democrats don’t need help; they probably already have all this stuff, and are ready to use it.)

If your goal is to elect a Republican, first and foremost, what Rubio is doing makes perfect sense.

Now, we can certain argue about whether merely electing a Republican...any Republican...should be the primary goal. It would be fair to criticize Rubio on that point, specifically.

I’ve never liked Rubio myself. Dunno why. Just something about him strikes me as someone who’s easily influenced / gullible.

if you or the establishment think many of us will come together for Romney then think again.

Many of us here and myself will never vote or support Romney

that liberal rag you posted is a lying sack of crap

Rubio was ion TV this morning and never attacked Newt at all.

He said he will not endorse either and he will let us the people of FL vote and choose.

This is another tactic RINO Romney and the establishment and the Dem MSM are using to take Newt out as they know Newt calls a spade a spade and has fire in him enough to pick a fight with their messiah unlike RINO Romney who can’t even call socialism socialism and now has had his advisers on record say he supports a VAT, OBAMACARE etc
