Rubio To Campaign For Republicans, Not Say Anything Bad About Nelson: Report
NBC Miami ^ | Wednesday, Aug 1, 2012

Posted on 08/01/2012 8:08:32 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Senator Marco Rubio will stump for Republican candidates in Florida and elsewhere this fall but will not harshly criticize the state’s other senator, Democrat Bill Nelson, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.

Rubio told Florida reporters Wednesday that he will campaign for whoever the Republican Party selects to challenge Nelson in the general election, but said he will “never have anything bad to say” about the Democratic senator, the newspaper reported.

The Sun Sentinel laid out Rubio’s balancing act: preserving good relations with Nelson should he win re-election on the one hand, and hoping that Republicans win a majority in the Senate on the other.

Pro-Illegal Alien....

Pro-Islamic Terrorist...

Pro-Democrat....

La Raza Rubio is just another liberal. Cannot believe there are still people think this guy is a “conservative”. Mel Martinez was even more conservative.

You forgot that he shunned the Tea Party?

He also praised the UN, and IMF for shunning “Narrow American Interests”

....he belongs on the Romney ticket...if he were eligible...

Isn’t that just sweet as honey. You just have to love the Senate’s “go along to get along” culture. Welcome to The Club, Marco.

Even scarier....there were people praising him on another thread on FR. Yikes

It would not surprise me Rubio is pro UN and pro IMF...in the past he pushed for tax dollars to be spent to psuh the Global Warming Hoax agenda

2016 cannot get here soon enough. Need to primary La Raza Rubio

I do not think Cruz will be as bad as Rubio

A few of us already knew Rubio’s past before he ran for Senate. When he was Speaker of the Florida House he killed a number of bills that would have given Florida anti-illegal alien laws like neighboring Georgia and Alabama have passed. Rubio killed TEN different pieces of anti-Illegal Alien legislation

At least we had other candidates in the primary besides Crist and Rubio....but too many bought the Rubio BS

Of all the hot blooded latinos, we had to get one with ice water running through his veins.

Nelson probably supports Marco’s amnesty and globalism desires.

We got screwed when the Bushes offered him to oppose the lefty gay guy, Crist.

He will win. I’m hoping for Jim DeMint 2.0.

A few minutes ago, I watched a little of MSLSD-NBC with Larry Straight-Jacket O'Donnell with David Korn from Commie Mother Jones.

He's got a show segment called "BatCrap Crazy" Republicans.

In that segment, He quotes Cruz saying that his job is to squish Romney to keep him on the path towards conservatism. So far, Cruz is sounding good.
