Rubio is an excellent speaker, very intelligent and a lot more conservative than Romney. People on FR don’t like him because he’s Hispanic - but he’s not in favor of illegal immigration and feels correctly that the policy needs revision (since it now favors Muslim countries). He’s very socially conservative, unlike Mittens.
Mitt needs to go away. He lost a sure thing for us last time.
Yes Romney did, just like McCain during that election....it was the plan. So those types should not ever be elected again or ever.
BULL[deleted].
Livius, I despise Spanish people so much that I choose to spell my favorite candidate’s name “Cruise”, so I might forget that he is Spanish. *cough*
How are we to respect your judgment about Rubio’s intelligence after you make such a stupid comment?
Rubio give the distinct impression that his most passionate goal is to do whatever the establishment wants him to do.
That is easily the most vile and disruptive comment I've seen in recent memory here on Free Republic. Your implication is that FReepers judge people by their ethnicity. Nothing could be further from the truth. As Christian (and Jewish) Conservatives, the members here are color blind and care not a whit about the genealogy of any given person. That's an essential core value of Conservatism -- measuring an individual by his accomplishment and values not by skin color nor by one's parental origins.
Yes, I am indeed pinging the boss on your patently offensive remark. What you have done is slander this entire website and its members, the world's foremost source for Conservative activism. Jim has stated has racism is not tolerated here and I've never -- repeat never -- seen a scintilla of here (except from paid leftist disruptors). Likewise, ethnicity has never -- not once -- factored into a discussion of any individual (aside from liberal trolls seeking to damage the reputation of FR).
Cruz is loved here, he's hispanic. Kindly retract your stupid statement.
And yes, it WAS stupid!
“he’s not in favor of illegal immigration”
Then why does he continue to push amnesty that benefits illegal immigrants and encourages more illegal immigration? Quite a mystery.
“People on FR don’t like him because he’s Hispanic...”
Oh, we’re a bunch of anti-hispanic racists I guess.
No wonder everyone on FR loathes Ted Cruz too. /sarc
I don’t trust him because he’s a Senator. Even Cruz has a tough time gaining trust being a member of that band of jackals.
