——but let me put it this way, the ruling that one must be of natural born descent in order to run for the presidency came from what sentiment? the sense of priviledge or the need for protection?-——

I try not to comment about “birthed” posts but your comment borders on the absurd...

You are implying that because Rubio parents escaped from a communist hell hole like Cuba, we need to observe him to make sure his parents are not loyal to Cuba...

The man was born in this country....raised in this country, is a citizen of this country...

Granted there was ample reason to check loyalties at the founding of this country....

You are putting words in my mouth.

I used to be able to have an on topic logical discussion here, but in the past six months or so, the level of illogical discussions has been disturbing.

This is all I am going to say on the subject:

Rubio is charismatic and he charms a lot of people who vote without thinking and learning.

I am not easily swayed like a liberal fawning over Obama.

You like him, for instance, because, as you said, his people and his thinking come from a hell hole foreign country.

Actually, that’s absurd.

It is certainly not a reason to seek higher office and the framers tried to protect us from this- that was my reference.

I suggest, realizing it might go out the window, looking at what Rubio has actually publicly stated about his loyalty to the UN in favor of our country. It is on record and I do not like it.

Because of this fact, his loyalty to our country is questionable to me, I hope he turns out better.

You inferred something else:

“You are implying that because Rubio parents escaped from a communist hell hole like Cuba, we need to observe him to make sure his parents are not loyal to Cuba...”

I never said that. I don’t care whether his thinking comes from a reaction to his poeple’s foreign country experience.

You do.

I did say:

“Rubio might be great . . . but can’t we observe and then decide?”
