I have my doubts. Crisis reveals character. He and others turned to Gov’t, and that is their loyalty.
In a heartbeat. They are my two favorite candidates, bar none.
But they both say they won’t run.
I was an early Rubio backer for the Senate.
No worries-—he qualifies on that count. His parents don’t but he does.
You have it right.
Shucks, we even know that in Tampa.
The thing I love about Ryan is the way he showed up Obama at that “summit” in Baltimore a while back.
Hussein had no answer for Ryan’s facts, facts, fact.
If his parents were Cuban nationals with “allegiance” to the Cuban regime, there might be an argument against NBC status but they were not, so it is a moot point in Rubio’s case.
Hussein-—now that is another matter.
Absolutely stars of the future....I brag on both of them all the time. The question is, does the “future” start next year?
I don’t think so...a bit premature, I’m afraid.
Did you mean RuPaul?
“There are two types of ways people become citizens, and only two ways - they are born here, or they are naturalized. That’s it. There is no difference between a “NBC” and a ‘mere born citizen.’”
Not really. there are 4-5 different definitions of citizen in this country. If you are born here and your parents are not US citizens you are a “Born citizen”. Natural Born Citizen is generally defined as born in the USA of 2 citizen parents. Barack Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen and how he was allowed to become President is still a mystery to me and millions of Americans.
4 Supreme Court cases have defined Natural Born Citizen as born in the USA of 2 citizen parents and this comes from Vattel’s “Law of Nations”. I am tired of posting the SCOTUS cases look it up for yourself.
Why is it that we want Rubio? ALREADY we’re seeing backtracking by the newly elected U.S. Senator that the GOP has been claiming could be the next GOP Vice Presidential candidate, for being “tea party-backed” [and, oh yes, a supposed minority even though he doesn’t at all look the part]:

“Rubio believes in Medicare and Social Security. He said he doesn’t want to change these programs for people who are using them.”
As if http://www.USDebtClock.org is merely some ghost in cyberspace?!?
I don’t understand how anybody can yell about Obama and his lack of experience and then tout people who have been around less than a year. It’s going to take a lot more than a few words to get me behind a candidate. And besides that IF I were going to keep my eye on someone it would Allen West.
How about the requirements listed in the Constitution regarding becoming President and Vice President? It is ONLY there that NBC is required, not for any other office. If there is no difference then why is that stated?
And why did the framers exempt themselves? George Washington was born here?
I don’t understand how anyone can believe that these men would go through and sacrifice all that they had to create a government with explicit laws and then follow it up with something so lame. Since we our country was founded on the principals of free men choosing their destiny, there was also a need for allegiance to our principals.
