Schlafly unloads on Rubio: 'He betrayed us all'
WND ^ | 02/02/2016 | WND

Posted on 02/05/2016 3:07:20 PM PST by Jewbacca

n 2009, Marco Rubio was a plucky challenger for the open Senate in Florida, taking on incumbent Republican Gov. Charlie Crist. Though Rubio was trailing in the polls, one leading conservative activist thought that he had real potential and vowed to help him. "When Marco Rubio ran for the Senate in Florida, I think I was the first one to endorse him,” said Phyllis Schlafly. "I made a trip down to Florida in 2009 just for the purpose of helping him."

But Schlafly, a legendary conservative activist, author, and WND columnist, now says she is bitterly disappointed by Rubio's record once he got what he wanted.

"Once he got elected, he betrayed us all," she told WND. "He said he was against amnesty and against the establishment. And once he got in, right away, he became an agent of the establishment. And now of course he's big for amnesty and letting all the illegal immigrants in. He betrayed us a number of times on that issue."

Schlafly said she was startled at the magnitude of Rubio’s "betrayal" on amnesty.

"It was so public," she said.

"He's a lackey for the establishment now," she said. "There's no question they're picking up as Plan B - or maybe Plan C in this election cycle or whatever we're on now - but he certainly is an establishment agent."

Bubble Boy came out of the closet as a liberal and, despite his full throated protestations, is being outed for what his is --- someone who swing both ways, liberal and more liberal.

“No show” Rubio is a liar to his voters,
which makes him a near-perfect GOPe.

It was very queer that Rubio suddenly morphed into a liberal. It’s almost like he has a hidden life.

Hey Phyllis!

Why do you believe Trump will do anything to further the Pro-Life agenda?

Didn’t you hear Trump promote “touchback amnesty”?

Phyllis, The Donald has no history of supporting your values!
Why are you wasting your time?

Would anyone care to translate this?

I have a default position that when someone suddenly and inexplicably changes to an opposite position such as Rubio, Roberts, Hastert, my assumption will be that they are being blackmailed. I think powers that be help blackmailable people get into office so they can control them. Otherwise they need to explain logically their complete sudden change.

Phyllis Schlafly: Disqualify Marco Rubio for Lying About Amnesty in Spanish

http://www.breitbart.com ^ August 18, 2015 Katie McHugh
Posted on 2/4/2016, 2:59:01 PM by NKP_Vet

Phyllis Schlafly, architect of the modern conservative movement and tireless opponent of mass immigration, says GOP hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% should be disqualified from the race for dishonestly saying one thing about amnesty in English and another in Spanish.

“If Jeb’s candidacy falters despite the $114 million he raised, the establishment’s next choices, Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, have basically similar views,” she wrote in her Monday World Net Daily column:

Kasich said the 12 million illegals should be “legalized once we find out who they are,” and Rubio said Obama’s executive amnesty “can’t be terminated because there are already people benefiting from it.”

Rubio’s statement was made in Spanish on the Spanish-language network Univision, which is reason enough to eliminate him from serious consideration. When somebody is running for president of the United States, why should we have to get somebody to translate his remarks into English?

Why indeed? Bilingualism has corroded political discourse rather than strengthened it. Lying in a different language is a becoming bipartisan pastime. Democratic Rep. Luis Gutirrez mocked Kathryn Steinle’s death during a Spanish Telemundo interview, calling it a “little thing.” Steinle was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien. Gutierrez exploded with rage when an expert immigration witness calmly called him out during a congressional hearing.

Well, Yeb was Plan A, and Rubio is Plan B or C, depending if Christie is Plan B or C.

I’ve defended Fox until now. One cannot turn on Fox News without someone coming on for Rubio.

What is going on there? It is so blatant it’s amazing.

How can they claim to be fair and balanced now when they are so clearly pushing the little weasel, Rubio.

There is nothing, nothing to recommend him.

Plan A was Yeb!

Plan B was Walker

Plan C was Kasuck

Plan D is Young Yeb!

The Cheap Labor Express expects the RNC/GOP to deliver the amnesty candidate they paid for.
