When I listened to Rubio’s CPAC speech last year, I remember thinking it felt like being in church. His faith shines through even in political settings.
I’ll have to find that speech.
I have been impressed by it, too, even when he’s not directly addressing matters of faith. He obviously has a moral core, which is refreshing (and rare) these days...
The push is on to make this guy the nominee next time. Same people who foisted Romney on us.
What qualifications does he have to be POTUS? One: he’s hispanic. Big deal. We have a black foreign born president, so now some in the GOP has decided it’s time for a liberal hispanic.
The Republicns must understand...whatever they do, the MSM will never accept them...so quit trying...had we nominated Gingrich last year...we still would have lost, but ideological lines would have been drawn...and the party could have begun to move to a tea party future. You know...stop the stupid spending.
Instead we got a liberal governor of Taxachusetts. Some choice.
Were his remarkds delivered in Spanish?
—Were his remarkds delivered in Spanish?—
Porque?
LOL
Yes?
gracias.
Apologies - I meant to say Dr. Benjamin Carson is the REAL DEAL!!!
IMHO, This is a much stronger case to knock him out of the Presidential competition.
At least Obama's mom was a natural born citizen.
I do not think Rubio is being foisted on anybody.
Holy cow, we finally get a guy who talks about Judeo-Christian values as opposed to Muslims in Space and people are quick to throw him under the bus. Sheesh.
I think Rubio is among the people who deserves to be considered a great candidate for 2016. That does not mean that there aren’t others, such as Ted Cruz, but I have an open mind about Rubio and I’m willing to listen. Will I agree with all his positions, probably not, but then, I’m not the one running so it’s natural I won’t agree with him 100%.
I do not consider Rubio a GOP-e candidate.

Good post. I agree.
On this particular issue, IMO Rubio may very well be sincere, but he also might be giving the “rightwing Christian nuts” what they want to hear.
But I cannot and will not call anyone who advocates amnesty a “great candidate.”
Rubio is hardly a liberal and he was attack in the background by the Romney people. The establishment didnt/doesnt really like him...especially the Rove/Bush crowd.
I disagree with his stand on wetbacks but other than that Id say he is solid.
Remember when he ran against Crist? The GOP-e hated him. Now that he has been elected they have had to begrudgingly accept him into the Party.
