SIGH. Newt’s a better candidate than Myth, but he keeps slipping into LIB territory!

Why is it that the year we MOST need to win, we have such thin soup to choose from? Something is seriously wrong with the GOP.

Rubio's correct. Newt would be better off taking a tougher stance on illegal immigration himself.

Yet again Newt is using DNC talking points of being "anti-immigrant," similar to attacking Romney for being a corporate raider. Sheesh, who's the bonehead in Newt's campaign that thinks these issues are better than Romney's liberal record and numerous flip-flops??

I'd like to know the contents of the ad, because I am not inclined to believe that Rubio's or the reporter's characterizations are honest.

Exactly what does the ad say? What makes it an accusation that Romney is "anti immigrant?"

calling Mitt Romney anti-immigrant
_________________________________________

But Romney is anti-immigrant

and anti-immigration

Romney supports the illegal aliens in their felonious activities in our country...

Wanting the AMNESTY Bill passed

and saying thisngs like

“We cant send them all back”

“we must find a pathway to citizenship”

are not the words of someone who is for immigrants and immigration...

Pretending to invent Alien Registration Cards AKA Green Cards for immigrants so they can get jobs while illegal aliuens without one cant ???

when they have been used for decades ???

(I had one in 1971)

Makes Romney no better than Al “I invented the Internet” Gore..

What will Romney suggest next ???

That we develop a round thing with spokes made of wood iron andor rubber to make it easier to maneuver down the roads ???

Maybe he will think of

Rubbing to sticks together to make fire ???

OOOOOOOOOOOO

Willie Mitty

Youz da man ...

BTW someone needs to tell that doofus Romney that not having a green card never stopped an illegal alien from getting a job..

Romney lives on such an alternative planet...

Rubio spoke out against the Arizona immigration law. These things start to show a pattern after a while. His true colors showing? How can anybody defend Romney for any reason?

As a resident of Florida, I just shot off an email to the Junior Senator.

Not quite sure how this is RINOish:

“Unlike Romney, who uses statements from Castro, Newt Gingrich has fought against the regime,” the ad says, noting that Gingrich helped pass the Cuba-trade crackdown law, Helms-Burton.

“He supported the formation of Radio and TV Marti; and is in favor of holding the Castro brothers accountable for the shooting down of the Brothers to the Rescue airplanes,” the ad says, referencing a 1996 incident where anti-Castro activists were killed by the Cuban military near the island’s airspace.

"Mitt Romney is no Charlie Crist. Romney is a conservative,” Rubio said. “And he was one of the first national Republican leaders to endorse me. He came to Florida, campaigned hard for me, and made a real difference in my race.”

[Sigh]. It's one thing if he wanted to remain neutral and silent out of loyalty because Romney supported him, but for Rubio to go the extra mile and say that Romney is a conservative? Didn't Newt support Rubio also?

“Rubio plans to stay neutral in the race. He’s a potential running mate” Marco Rubio is not “Natural Born”,therefore not eligible to be VP or POTUS. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2804096/posts

It’s been plainly apparent here in FL that Rubio is a handpicked establishment GOP fast tracker.

They’ll be looking to run him for President in a few years.

Sometimes I wonder if some of you even know what you’re all talking about, or are just more willing to defend the flavor of the month.

Rubio is right to attack Newt here. Newt has advocated a liberal position. To me, THAT is the RINO.

Rubio has learned the treacherous ways of politics in the Senate.

Never take a stand, try to have it both ways.

This Republican race for the nomination is the most important in a generation.

Not since Reagan bitch slapped that elitist former CIA director in the 1980 primary has the Republican party faced such an important choice in the primary.

Rubio has to man up and make a choice, it is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

Rubio can choose the populism of Newt who is currently riding much of the same populist movement that established the Tea Party that put Rubio in office or he can choose the elitism of Romney who may have endorsed him but did so for the most cynical reasons. In my view, Romney endorsed Rubio because he saw a chance to endorse someone with star quality who was culturally diverse which is not often the case in Republican politics.

When Romney looked at Crist it was like looking in the mirror and he made the smart move by endorsing the Hispanic with star quality over another empty suit who had worn out his welcome mat in a changing Republican Party.

Rubio is all about being latino first...like everyone in politics I know of so far...can someone give me an exception

So far the only “minority” candidate I know of who has not gone back to the skin color or ethnicity reservation is Allen West and I am holding my breath.

Time and again I am disappointed.

Rubio..not a bad sort...got all bent over Alabama and Arizona laws.

Now Newt wants some latino vote...he at least doesn't want to lose the remaining 25%

Romney..will do anything..stands only for fiscal responsibility as a former LBO titan..which is laughable to me.

So there we are.

Fact is Newt...and I have already given you 750 so far and ordered my bumperstickers 11-4-11...before anyone here mostly I'd guess

Forget the damned minority votes...you know this.

Every cracker percentage you turn is worth 10 times a latino percentage and 10 times a black one and 50 times a usually liberal Jewish percentage point of voting

and so forth...the minority votes for all the hoopla is not where the easiest ore is to being mined...it's the WHITE VOTE...Christian or leaning that way...70-75% of the population..and yes there is overlap even into other labels groups so it is even higher really

I do not know why we have to bend knee for folks who simply do not instinctively get the message.

Pandering to them and diluting our own thrust is poor logic by the numbers yet the GOP and some here...cannot resist

McCain got 55% of the White Vote

If Newt can get just 2 more points he would likely win..maybe even 1.5% more even would do it

You get even 25% more blacks or latinos...not gonna happen and it's only worth the same popular vote wise

the whole minority outreach is such a canard...for now

HOWEVER..in Florida sucking up to Jews and Latinos in a primary is mandatory....it's akin to singing Dixie in my homestate..you have to..lol..if you want to win

anyhow..overall..Rubio...pendejo...don't trust him...conyo!

Rubio is wrong, of course, in stating that Willard is a conservative.

Rubio is also wrong, as are most Republicans, in refusing to take a stand against massive legal immigration. (As Roy Beck, President of NumbersUSA, pointed out in an e-mail today in regard to the CommiePunk’s SOTU agit/prop speech last night: “What really galled me was Pres. Obama bragging about more than 3 million U.S. jobs created during the last 22 months. That could have been good news for unemployed Americans. But during that same period, the Obama Administration issued more than 3 million work visas to new immigrants and other foreign workers (more than half of them permanent).)

The truth of the matter is that legal immigration is killing us almost as much as illegal immigration is. Rubio, Gingrich, and Romney are all on the wrong side of this issue.

But I do agree with Rubio in stating that Newt is wrong to call Willard anti-immigrant. Both Willard and Newt are far too pro-immigrant for the good of this country.

Sounds like Mitt’s superpac must have contributed to Rubio’s senatorial campaign (ala Nikki Haley).
