Hardly, I always vote for the most conservative candidate on the ballot.Much of the time they do have R behind their names.

What I am saying however is that once you meet Rubio, the man, hear him speak in the same room, live, and get the feel for what he is about, it's hard not not like him. His mentor Ileana ros Lehtinen was my congress person for years and Rubio is now my Senator. I'll take him any day over many others.

Of course he many not meet the FR 100 % rule. That's always a problem for you guys.

Rubio is what I like to call a 'nouveau' republican. He talks a good game but his votes betray his speeches. Another problem I have with Rubio is his loyalty is to his heritage, not to America. As a second generation immigrant, I don't understand it. My family came here for a better life because America was the antithesis of all that was wrong with the Country they were living in. My people were anxious and proud to assimilate and become Americans. If you read Rubio's outline for his plan, he even shortens the requirement to learning 'some' English!

I am not ready to turn my Country over to people who have no respect for its laws, its history, its people or its war veterans who fought to keep it what the founders envisioned. At this time, I feel I have no representation and wonder, why am I even paying taxes? Rubio is part of the problem! He is not my Representative but he's from my State and every time he champions the amnesty nonsense it pisses me off! <===== preposition dangling by choice.

I am not a "you guys", I am a girl and I am the proud descendant of people who came here legally and raised me as an all-American. Everyone in my family served in the military and my father came home with a Purple Heart. For what? So others can float over here and turn this place into a watered down version of their failed Socialist/Communist Country? I think not.
