LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Sen. Marco Rubio said Thursday that he will refuse to vote for further funds for the U.S. government unless the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is defunded, according to a Politico report.

Rubio is peddling as fast as he can away from the evidence of his amnesty debacle.

We know exactly who you are, Marco. Your pandering will get you nowhere.

It won’t get him my vote in 2016, but it will save America, at least temporarily, if he succeeds. It’s worth doing.

Somehow I think any conservative initiative this guy champions from now on will be a phony gesture, not an honest effort.

Thats what happens when you're caught lying one time.

Besides, if immigration reform passes the conservative platform is dead, entirely, forever.

Agreed. I won’t try to stop him as he scambles to try and undo his support for amnesty.

Anyone that is for Amnesty is for a communist Coup of the United States.

Do you Rubio and other congressional morons who vote for this Amnesty bill realize that 30 million amnestied illegals and their family back home (50 million more) will vote in democrats/socialism to turn the USA into a socialist/communist state?

Hey morons, immigrants , democrats and anyone for this Amnesty bill: communism is no fun and results in extreme poverty for 99% of the population and people are virtual slaves in a dictatorship. think N. Korea or Cuba . that is what you immigrants are doing to America.

what happened to Venezuela will happen 100 times worse here. it’s because democrats are hard core communists, all of them are(pelosi, Reid,Obama et al). they are importing untold millions of democrat voters that will allow them to rule with an iron fist. so 3rd world scum that invade the U.S.A looking to make more money will enable the democrats to turn the USA into a WORSE place than they left.

Rubio, Ryan ,Democrats, Bush? do you realize that? I know democrats want that as that is their goal to advance progressive policies and install a socialist/communist state.

do you Bush, democrats,Ryan , rubio realize that you are for communism?

Anyone that is for Amnesty is for a communist Coup of the United States

I think some people here need to grow up, lose their idea that their particular obsession is the only one that matters, and see the big picture. Also, they need to stop being so darn vicious, spiteful and off topic. This isn’t about Rubio; it’s about a real chance to get rid of something that is going to imprison and crush us if it is allowed to go ahead.

He supports something that can pass congress and be enacted (immigration reform), gets in trouble, then supports something that has no chance of passing congress to win back credibility. Right.

So the fact that Rubio is a documented liar is irrelevant to the "big picture?"

How do we know he's not lying now?

Um...right.

Have you forgotten it was Rubio, as a member of the “Gang of Eight”, who helped get us to this point?

Rubio is a POS who should not be trusted. He’s trying to cover his arse here!

So Rubio decides that he’ll win conservatives back by tilting at windmills?

I have a better chance of winning the lottery AND being elected president AND being struck by lightening than the chance of defunding Obamacare.

Marco must have had to order about three dozen pairs of new jockey shorts after getting his polling internals.

The only part of obamanation-care that rubio is concerned about is the part where amnesty recipients (i.e. illegals) are exempt from paying, along with employer exemptions (i.e. government sanctioned slavedrivers), everything else in the bill can slide as long as that little gem stays, as far as the government is concerned.

The “big picture” here is that you can not see the forest thru the trees. Rubio is a phoney. He knows nothing conservative will pass in the Senate. This is pure pandering and YOU fell for it! BTW is amnesty passes conservatism is dead in the former Constitutional Republic known as the USA.
