Ooh. Has the time come when we can call the Trotskyite, neocon war mongers out for what they are?

Probably not on FNC. But this bloodthirsty totalitarian and his ilk aren't getting a free ride anymore.

Don’t these twerps realize real conservatives now view them little differently than the NYSlimes and Washington Compost?

One key issue negates all the other issues. Rubio intends to initiate the Total Democrat State and erase the Constitution entirely. Amnesty will do that. Not only will it create millions of new Democrat voters but it will suck in many millions more who expect to become citizens of the USA. It will happen very fast and continue until the USA has declined to a level poorer than the countries whence the immigrants originate.

Those scorecards don’t mean very much in the end because they are mainly based on “show votes” on “emotional wedge issues” (as defined by Karl Rove).

The “Pro Life” folks at National Right to Life scored all but three Republicans as “Pro Life” for voting for a measly one year ban on Planned Parenthood funding that is a far cry from the more permanent bans enacted in the past.

The vote also meant nothing in the end since it died in the Senate, but it looks good.

I’m not carrying water for Rubio

He carries his own.

Rubio’s amnesty position would end any hope of a conservative majority position on anything in this country ever again.

“Marco Rubio Is Plenty Conservative”

“Plenty” is the ultimate relative term. But, yes, I could see how Rubio would be PLENTY conservative if you were a lying, cringing, sold-out, PC, DC insider GOP establishment RINO scum who continuously stabs we American workers in the back.

I'm not a Rubio supporter, but I loathe people like you that are too good to inform yourselves.

I also loathe people like you claiming anyone and anything that does not agree with you 100% is liberal. Too bad there is no literacy test for voters.

No, that article is a week old. Please tell me the inaccuracies, please. Be specific and cite your evidence.

Believe NOTHING you read on National Review. There is nothing the least bit conservative about Rich Lowry, Bill Kristol, et.al! they are all GOPe sycophants.

Not a Rubio fan at all, but if he was running against Hillary, I'd vote for him.

Very highly doubt it will come to that though. I don't think he'll outlast Christie.

Despite infuriating many grassroots conservatives by pushing the failed Gang of Eight immigration-reform bill and advocating a path to legalization...

Because America needs more Democrat-voting, drunk-driving, pedophile, gang-banging, identity frauding, welfare-sucking third worlders.

He has missed a lot of votes, no?
Of the votes he has cast, OK, 98% were the conservative position.
How many of the votes were crucial?

I’m surprised the interest groups (ACA, ADA, etc.) don’t take this into consideration. I mean, a vote on a 50-49 issue is far more important than a 98-1 issue.

The author, Jim G., is using the ACU ratings which are essentially useless. .....Most of the ratings I’ve seen for Rubio show him around 74%, while Cruz is 98%. ....Rubio is not and has never been conservative.
