Rubio's gaffe...

"Let’s make sure they write that we did our part. That we chose more government instead of more freedom."

[dfwgator]

Cubans are different than Mexicans, they are worlds apart in their politics and attitudes towards this country.

*My hat* >_>

[dfwgator]

Plus Rubio is a Gator.

[Yaelle]

I heard it too. Didn’t match with his point. But e is a genuinely good speaker and obviously his mouth was faster than his brain. Better an ok and obvious flub than reading corpsman as corpse man and not knowing anything was wrong, twice.

[Yaelle]

When you’re 85 you can be excused from mixing things up now and then. Loved him!!

Wow, Rubio looks so much younger! They must have great plastic surgeons in FL.

[Republican Wildcat]

No Akin treatment for Dream Act Rubio, eh. Rubio’s still great but Akin has to get out.

There is absolutely no comparison between the two - Rubio merely accidently transposed words...and wasn't talking about an issue like rape. That is not what Akin did.

[Gene Eric]

>> Wonder if he knows yet he got it backwards? No one noticed in the live thread. You hear what you want to hear.

That depends. Did he say it in Spanish?

[Gene Eric]

>> That is not what Akin did.

You actually deciphered what Akin said?

[Republican Wildcat]

Okay, so if the subject wasn’t rape, what was it?

[arrogantsob]

That was a stunner. I was sure I did not mishear that.

[chris37]

Yes, they certainly are.

They came from where we are going.

And they are warning those of us who will listen.

And go Gators! :DD

I think many people noticed this error, and had to a double take: Did he really say that? And then, people didn't want to point it out. Have mainstream Republicans, like Romney and Marco Rubio really acted against big government? I wondered why Romney pointed out this own father received government help when he fled the Mexican Revolution. Romney likes government help? When he was young, he heard “stories of his family being fed by the American government,” Romney said. So he's for welfare? I read today that while he was working at Bain Capital he benefited from government help which was granted those who performed “leveraged buyouts.” Add to that, the “earnings” were counted as “capital gains,” taxed at the gift giving rate of 15%. Most decent Republicans are against that. They are against Corporate Welfare. However, some of these Republicans are for government aid, like hundreds of billion in aid for failing banks . . . well that dates back to the S&L crisis, for those too young, or too ignorant of history to remember. Government under Reagan and Bush the First grew tremendously; it did not shrink. Government under G.W. Bush also grew. Military spending doubled. This isn't a “democratic talking point.” The Democrats have done the same thing, or worse, depending on the democrat in question. The truth is, many Republicans say they are for smaller government, and really are not. When Gingrich was in the House, he brought home more government “goodies” to his own home district, Cobb County, than almost any representative in the entire Congress. The phrase that Rubio used, “more government, less freedom,” was not a meaningless error. It was a Freudian slip, accidentally revealing the not so well concealed truth about most mainstream politicians and what they believe.

Being familiar with Marco “La Raza” Rubio’s political career...that comment is not a gaffe

Do not understand how people consider Rubio a “conservative”

[MasterGunner01]

That’s a RINO Freudian slip. He meant what he said.

[Christie at the beach]

My hubby said the very same thing.

[raybbr]

Plus Rubio is a Gator.

Well, that locks up about a thousand votes....

[Jacquerie]

Terrible. He should give up his Senate seat to a conservative.

[newfreep]

Ditto that!

Rubio is a slick amnesty-lovin’ RINO who rejected joining the DeMint’s Senate Tea Party Caucus.

[commonguymd]

I see what you you did there. Spot on.
