Forceful, unapologetic articulation is a new requirement for Republicans: it is not only a good track record or voting record, conservatives also demand the ability to forcefully articulate conservative principles. Just ask Texas Governor Rick Perry.

I find it somewhat offensive, and buying into the Dem line that all R’s are racist, when we jump on the idea of running any minority who’s on our side. Herman Cain, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal. Every one has been mentioned for either POTUS or VPOTUS, not because they’re the most qualified for the job, but because they fit a certain demographic.
Cain’s elective political career is over, but let’s have Rubio serve a full term at least in the Senate before we push him for VP; let Jindal complete the job in LA before we talk about him. (I won’t get into their NBC status for now). R’s have to stop being so damned desperate to fill the slots through Affirmative Action.

The Obama/Rubio NBC situations are somewhat different, as I understand them. At least one of Obama’s parents was a US citizen. Neither of Rubio’s was.

What good is a Rubio VP if the nominee is McRomney RINO?
No McRomney under any circumstance, not ever!

You are wrong -— what you posted no longer holds water. Natural Law and Common Law only count when there is no Constitutional guidance or legislative guidance.
Now there IS.
Rubio is QUALIFIED -— and only crack pots think otherwise.
That is just the way it is. NOBODY in the legal profession, save a very small number of quacks, agrees with you. NO elected officials of any weight agree with you.

He’s not a Natural Born Citizen. His parents were not US citizens when he was born. IOW his parents were foreigners when he was born.

Your point does not matter.
Rubio was born on US soil.
Rubio was a CITIZEN AT BIRTH, and that is all that matters.
“Natural Born Citizen” means “Citizen at Birth”
Court cases prior to the 14th Amendment, and Court cases before the various, changing legislation on Citizenship, do NOT control in this matter. Those decisions are moot, as they were made with no Constitutional or Legislative guidance, as their was none.
Now there is guidance.
Look at a passport application, that is all you need to know about citizenship.

I added the text to this graphic months ago. And now here you are. If Romney is the nominee, I don't care if they put Sarah Palin on the ticket. Not again, Karl, it won't work this time.

Why, hes a big Romney lover. That disqualifies him. Glad we found out just in time what hes made of.
Rubio is definitely off the list for supporting Romney. People say that he just owes Romney favors, but it tells me that Rubio was bought off.
To: little jeremiah
So What? Rubio was a citizen at BIRTH and that is all that counts today.
Natural Born Citizen, today, means CITIZEN AT BIRTH
The Framers just wanted to prohibit NATURALIZED citizens from being POTUS. While the language they used was interpreted without Congressional guidance, at the time, NOW THEIR IS CONTROLLING CITIZENSHIP LAW and the Courts do not have to look at Common Law or Natural Law.

Natural Born Citizen, today, means CITIZEN AT BIRTH born of TWO CITIZEN PARENTS ostensibly on US soil. There, fixed your yelling.
