(In all fairness, it may have happened, and I just never caught it.)
.
But I don’t believe that’s what the American people want from us.

Hey, Marco, get a clue; we also don’t want amnesty. But that little fact doesn’t seem to bother you.
I hear you brother. But let me quote a rather famous FReeper, ahem:
All politicians are scoundrels until proven otherwise. Once proven, they must make periodic installments of proof lest they be re-labeled a scoundrel.

Rubio isn’t on this list and you want to cut him a break.
But, Corball, and McConnell voted against Amnesty and you rightly so want them out of office. I am truly confused.
Rubio was not a foot soldier in Amnesty’s army he was leading the charge. I stand with the 26 million long term unemployed. In Vegas where I live good paying jobs in the casinos are going mostly to illegals, as well as most high paying construction site jobs. Rubio has sold out his fellow American who have been out of work for years. I don’t think he changed his position for any other reason than his Florida favorable numbers tanked faster than the Titanic.
“The civilized world continues to pay an appalling price for failing to cast out Communism with the same vehement disgust we showed towards Fascism.”
Finally! Someone is saying it.
Maybe a lesson should be taken from Marco Rubio’s principled stance against what was said by that disgusting senator from the midwest.
IMHO
As a Floridian I can tell you this is SOP for Marco. When he is trying to court your vote he will be as anti-amnesty as he can stomach, then he goes to his hispanic friends behind your back and tells them not to worry, he’s just doing it to get support.
Once he has what he wants, he’ll go all out for amnesty. I’m telling you now so you’ll know that if you fall for it, it’s on your head because you’ve already been warned.
He wants amnesty and he wants political power. When those two things are in conflict, he’ll manipulate whoever he has to in order to get both. Don’t be one of the clueless who gets played. I’m done with Marco. There is no way this lying traitor is going to fool me.
“He wants amnesty and he wants political power. When those two things are in conflict, he’ll manipulate whoever he has to in order to get both. Don’t be one of the clueless who gets played. I’m done with Marco. There is no way this lying traitor is going to fool me.”
I agree but forgot to add that he is in favor of Amnesty since he knows adding 30 million Hispanics will get him the votes to win the White House. He has a Hispanic surname like Cruz, but Cruz is interested in Americans first and not that a demographic change that will change the country in a negative way.
Rubio as you say is for Rubio first.
“I don’t believe so, not now.”
He was against it before he was for it and before he was against it again... That was as of yesterday, I haven’t checked today.
He is what one would call.... insincere, not to be trusted.
Maybe he should have read some political history?
Romney - urged enforcement of existing laws - 27% of Hispanic vote in 2012.
McCain - sponsored the Bush-McCain Amnesty Bill in 2006 - 31% of Hispanic vote in 2008.
GHWBush - Avidly supported the Reagan Amnesty in 1986 - 30% of Hispanic vote in 1988.
Susana Martinez - Republican governor of New Mexico - a former Democrat - has Mexican ancestry on both sides of her family - 39% of Hispanic vote in 2010.
Not so much as he came out as originally. he wanted closed borders and kind of got co-opted before we threw him to the curb.
Food for thought - if any candidate has an attribute we don't like, does that make it better to allow a commie take the cake? If the last choice we have standing come election time and that person is not as tough on immigration as we believe he should be, but is against homosexual takeover and against abortion,. do we support such a person or pave the way for a Dem who is rabidly for all 3 of these sins?
Honest question - not trying to support any RINOs, just curious about what the end game might look like if we can't affect the primaries enough to get a solid conservative who is against all the atrocities and totally for the Constitution.
There can be no food for thought. Once a grain of conservohate develops, it remains and grows for ever until there is no candidate with the purity required for acceptance.
