Bill Richardson: I’m “afraid” of Marco Rubio
Univision News ^ | July 30, 2012 | EMILY DERUY

Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson says that he is afraid of Marco Rubio’s ability to cut into President Obama’s Latino support.

Richardson, a Mexican-American who ran against Obama in 2008 for the Democratic presidential nomination, said that the freshman Florida senator is one of the Republican Party’s fastest-rising stars who could make the GOP more appealing to Latino voters both in this election and in future ones.

Yeah, Marco is really different from the traditional RAT Hispanic “Leader” who is corrupt, philandering and so damned crooked that when they die, they are buried using a screwdriver!

"As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who [Bernardine] Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he 'left the room to cry.' "

“I like him.”, said Richardson.

I don’t believe anything any of these cretins like Richardson say. Every time one do them does this it looks like a false flag to me. Maybe I’ve become too cynical. I like Rubio and think that he would put some spine in Mitt’s campaign but nobody votes for VP do they?

I do. And I've read about Democrat fears of Rubio in other places. Can you imagine a Veep debate between Rubio and Biden?

You know, when a Democrat comes out and says something like that, I am skeptical. It’s more likely that the reality is exactly the opposite of what he is saying; ie that they are really not scared of Rubio and they don’t think he will do much at all to influence the Latino vote. Otherwise, they would keep their mouths shut rather than give their enemies good advice.

I read the leftwing sites regularly for the DUmmie FUnnies. Believe me. They are truly scared of Rubio.

Richardson needs to fear whoever Romney appoints as Attorney General.

He's just trying to scare potential voters away from him. Why? Because Rubio is an anti-communist Hispanic.

I think the Demonic Party is deathly afraid of any individual who happens to be minority and has the ability to articulate conservative values and principles to traditionally “enslaved” demonic voters. Marco Rubio and Allen West are only two examples...

Here is the problem:

If Rubio would cut into Obama’s hispanic support, it destroys the conservative notion that hispanics do not vote as a block and issues like illegal immigration do not matter to them.

If Rubio does not cut into Obama’s hispanic support, he is of no use to Romney other than being an attack dog.....and there are others who could do that far more effectively.

Of course he's afraid of him. Rubio is an anti-communist Hispanic who possibly could be the next VP.

Exactly.

IIRC, early in the 2008 election cycle, many Dems were 'afraid' of McCain, and we saw how that turned out.

If they are agin'em, I am too.
