On July 7, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio spoke on the future of America’s space program. “When this final shuttle mission draws to a close, many Americans will be startled by the realization that we don't have an answer to the question: What's next for NASA?” he said. “We know that our commercial space partners are working to fill some of the gaps in our human space flight capabilities, and that is a promising development that we should encourage. But we need NASA to lead.” I follow one of those commercial space partners,Space Exploration Technologies, also known as SpaceX, on Facebook....

Sarah Palin hits a new high. Hot Air wants Marco Rubio for Vice President. Rick Perry is the top second-choice for President. And among those actually running for the job? Michele Bachmann takes the top prize.

Weekly Standard editor William Kristol still holds out hope that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will be on a national presidential ticket in 2012. "Ryan-Rubio or Rubio-Ryan would be a very strong ticket," Kristol said on "Fox News Sunday." "It should be Ryan-Rubio, but if Paul Ryan is a little hesitant to seize the moment, I think Marco Rubio will have to do it and make Paul Ryan his vice president" Any chance that happens, asked Fox host Bret Baier. "Yes," Kristol answered. "I think Republican primary voters would welcome a Ryan-Rubio ticket"

Perry/Rubio?Just tossing that out there as a possible ticket for 2012. Personally I think it is a winning combo and definitely keeps Obama from winning Florida. Also denies the Bamster a huge number of Latin votes that he thought he could count on. I think this is the most conservative possible ticket with the BEST chance of winning. Of course, if you are looking for ABSOLUTE PERFECTION you are free to flame away. I remember a lot of support for Fred Thompson a few years ago because he was supposed to be the most conservative of the candidates. And then...

'MUST WATCH' - by anyone who wants to know the real thing regarding this Debt Crisis Link here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_68GjR6V6zI#at=260

“Compromise without solutions is a waste of time,” Marco Rubio said on the Senate floor today. Here is the video — be sure to catch his exchange with John Kerry:

“I would love nothing more than compromise. But I would say to you that compromise that's not a solution is a waste of time. “If my house was on fire, I can't compromise about which part of the house I'm going to save. You save the whole house or it will all burn down. “We either save this country or we do not. “And to save it, we must seek solutions.”

I believe this is from a speech he gave earlier today.

He's on fire now! Palin/Rubio-2012

It would appear that a Perry/Rubio Ticket is Obama's worst nightmare.{Agreed?}If not,even a Perry/Romney ticket would also cause a 55/45 Landslide in 2012. The best advantage with Perry is that he represents the deep red south! Obama can kiss North Carolina,Colorado & Florida good-bye.Nevada? well,Obama can kiss Nevada good-bye as well so long as Harry Reid doesn't try to pull a fast one again with his union buddies "Upgrading The Voting Machines". A Perry/Bachmann ticket will work well too,but we need Rubio more.Marco Rubio=65% Of Hispanice Votes.

When the spanish-language television network Univision put out a shameful hit piece out on Republican Senator Marco Rubio several weeks back, only one Hispanic organization provided cover for Univision, and that was the upstart organization ‘Somos Republicans’. This group openly states that they are a Republican group, but they have raised flags amongst conservative groups with their over the top pro-amnesty rhetoric and shameless attacks on conservative hispanic leaders like Rubio and U.S. Senate candidate Ted Cruz. What is so blatantly obvious about this organization’s tactics is the fact that any hispanic politician who does not tow their amnesty line...

"Who Is A “Natural Born Citizen”? So I’m on the O’Reilly Factor and I say if the Republicans don’t put Marco Rubio on their national ticket they need to get their heads examined. Such is my regard for the freshman senator from Florida. What followed were emails from people who told me that Rubio can’t be vice president because the Constitution says only “natural born citizens” can be president or vice president, and he doesn’t fit the description. Some went a tad further. Ray said I need to “wake up.” Gregor – who signed his name “American by Birth –...

(video at link) "The way the deal is currently structured right now, it gives the President the ability to raise the debt limit. But as I've said already on the problem: The debt limit is not really the problem here, the problem here is the debt. "The debt limit is actually the easiest part of the problem. It's one vote away from being solved. But, if all we do is raise the debt limit and it's not accompanied by a credible solution to America's debt problem, we're in big trouble. And I don't believe this plan, as it's been outlined...

Marco got Bob lost in the debate.

There is no plan, Marco. You know it. We know it. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) destroyed Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation this morning. Schieffer tried to defend President Obama for the current catastrophe. Marco wouldn’t buy it. “OK, so where’s the plan? Where’s the president’s plan? I’ve never seen a piece of paper with the president’s name on it that’s his plan to solve this crisis. I’ve seen press conferences. I’ve seen lectures that he’s given to the Congress. I’ve seen these press avails where the camera comes in and takes a bunch of pictures. I haven’t seen a...

Four of the Senate’s top voices on foreign policy voiced their support Friday for the Obama administration’s move to formally recognize rebel leaders as the legitimate governing authority of Libya. “We welcome the Administration’s decision to recognize the Transitional National Council (TNC) as the legitimate governing authority of Libya,” said Republican Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) in a statement.

HH: Senator Rubio, you represent a lot of senior citizens in Florida. The country knows that. I think it’s despicable to scare them this way. What’s your reaction to the President’s threat to hold their Social Security checks hostage? MR: Well, if they don’t get their Social Security checks, it’s because the President’s decided to do that, because we still have revenue coming in. Here’s the other thing I would say. If in fact the President holds up their checks for Social Security, and Medicare, and whatever else he wants to hold up to make his point, isn’t he admitting...

On Fox News “Hannity” on Monday night, USA Senator Marco Rubio, (R/FL) in an interview with Sean Hannity on the United States of America’s federal budget debt and debt ceiling “crisis”, Sen. Rubio was very BLUNT in his opinion on the course of the direction America has taken since President Barack Hussein Obama took office: “Every aspect of life in America TODAY is worse than it was when he took over” The word I had made bold, TODAY, is the real center of that quote, because Sen. Rubio speaks truth to power in that. IMHO, I second what Sen. Rubio...

RUSH: We welcome to the EIB Network Senator Marco Rubio from Florida. It's great to have you on the program, sir, and welcome. SENATOR RUBIO: Well, thank you for having me. RUSH: I want to play for you... I know you heard this, but I want to play for you Speaker Boehner at his press conference yesterday in Washington talking about you. SENATOR RUBIO: Okay. SPEAKER BOEHNER: If you want to see an increase in government revenues, then let's grow the economy and create jobs, broaden the tax base and lower rates. As Senator Rubio said last week, "We don't...

AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name...
