Marco Rubio as the new Mitt Romney
Tampa Bay Times ^ | 06/25/2013 | Adam Smith

Posted on 06/26/2013 11:44:37 PM PDT by TexGrill

This clip from the 2010 CNN/St. Pete Times U.S. Senate debate shows how Marco Rubio was crystal clear back then in his opposition to any pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants in the country:

...Any reasonable reading of Rubio's positions then and now leads to the conclusion that he has executed a flip-flop of Romneyesque proportions. Rubio's flip-flop is even worse politically. While Romney switched to a position that was popular with the Republican base, Rubio has done just the opposite.

Rubio denies the charge. During an appearance on "Meet the Press" in April, he explained that back in 2010 he opposed a "blanket amnesty." Today's Gang of Eight bill, he continued, "is not blanket amnesty." In response to an inquiry Monday, Rubio's Senate spokesman added that "Sen. Rubio opposed the 2007 immigration reform -- and his position has not changed."

It’s a shame. There for a little while, Rubio seemed promising.

Rubio, change parties already! Your conservative act is over and you won't be fooling real conservatives again.

Yep, he seemed to be the golden boy for the GOP and tea party. Sadly, he has turned into another GOPe. Seems like McCain got his claws into him. And, I thought Rubio was smart. Silly me!

Adam at the St Pete Commie Times is a hard core leftist and propagandist .
This left wing rag had such a bad rep it changed its name in a lame effort to fool people.

Actually , it’s the vile McConnell who cooked up the scheme with K street to use Rubio to ram thru Amnesty .

Redstate broke the news on secret meetings .

Rubio is owned by the GOP Billionaire slave labor lobby .
Koch Brothers, the little Facebook con artist ,Butts family that own HEB grocery stores , Adelson,
