Rubio will oppose Chuck Hagel nomination
TRANSCRIPT:
Anchor: Joining us now, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, a member of the foreign relations committee as well as the intelligence committee. Have you heard anything one way or the other, senator, that causes to decide your vote on Chuck Hagel?
Rubio: Well let me begin by saying that Chuck Hagel’s service to our country, particularly in Vietnam is something all of us admire and I don’t think you will find any debate about that but he is being nominated for one of the most important cabinet positions in our country, the secretary of defense. I stated long ago I’ve been deeply disturbed by his previous comments and positions in regards to sanctions on Iran and in regards to direct negotiations with North Korea. Obviously statements he made about Israel. these are not the kind of statements and kind of positions I want to see our secretary of defense have and these are big, big problems. For those reasons I just don’t believe I will be able to support his nomination especially after his testimony in the last hour here has really not said anything that addresses those concerns to my satisfaction.

Politically, Zero had the entire immigration debate set up by the bent axel so they win on either side of the issue.We need not forget any issue they deal with,invest any time in only has merit from its political value. As usual we let them pick what issue they wanted to demagogue us on.
If they get amnesty or anything close they win.
If they don't get a bill they will demagogue us until cows fly. It will become the new it was all GW's fault.
That's why its so important that Marco has made the rounds everywhere and didn't depend on the drivebys to get his message out. He got it out on his own. Everyone knows what he stands for and who he is.If he is not willing to support the bill because of inadequate border security we will not take nearly the hit had he not gone out and reassured everyone.
He even one-upped the left by doing it all in English and Spanish. Marco Rubio has to be axelrod's worst nightmare. He's made a lose/lose into a near win.
