"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The Real Marco Rubio Ping!

[Viennacon]

“Bush’s rightward turn”

What the hell. That’s an oxymoron?

[Jane Long]

Hey, Marco! I really don't give a flip what Jebbie Bush thinks about on anything.

RE “I thought about that issue a lot and [went] back and forth on it before I signed on to my principles and I just concluded that it’s not good for the country in the long term to have millions and millions of people who are forever prohibited from becoming citizens,” Rubio told reporters on his way to a Senate vote. “That hasn’t worked out well for Europe.”

Great idea Rub, we better to make sure that America has a permanent government dependent Democrat voting class that always goes for raising taxes on those who make it better than them, to pay for stuff for themselves and their families. Oh, and now they LOVE the idea of gay marriage and free abortions

What could go wrong with that???.

If the GOP is down to Rub and Bush in 2016 then expect the same success we got (and expected for me) from Romney and Newt in 2012 race.

“An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely...”

This is what is to be aware of, but not feared.

[RIghtwardHo]

Does it really matter? Jeb Bush hs as much chance of being nominated as I do.

[hadaclueonce]

No more Bush’s.

Their beans even suck.

[oldbill]

“. . . I just concluded that it’s not good for the country in the long term to have millions and millions of people who are forever prohibited from becoming citizens,”

What an ignorant statement!

Those millions, Rubio, are criminals who have no right to even be in the United States, let alone be citizens.

What you are seeing now is the genesis of the coming Republican electoral massacre of 2014. What Republican conservative voter will have any interest in supporting elitists like Rubio, Graham, and their ilk who throw aside any respect for the law to pander to groups like the illegal alien bloc.

For every one hispanic vote they gain, they will lose four of the once reliable and principled conservative, law-respecting base. You can only stab your own troops in the back so many times.

Rubio’s time has come, and has now gone. The voters have turned away from the stupid debate between Rubio and the latest Bush over who can pander the most while lying the best. The Republican consultants and “strategists” have already set up the massive defeat that is coming. Of course, when it’s over they’ll still say it’s because the party didn’t pander enough to hispanics.

back and forth on it before I signed on to my principles

[dalereed]

Rubiio and Jeb can both go straight to hell!!!

[Girlene]

Rubio is sincere, he means well with the immigration reform proposal......he is just wrong. It will not help the country; it will not help the Republicans.

[DustyMoment]

Jeb’s “about face” on immigration is nothing more than political posturing in hopes of a 2016 run at the WH.

In the event he sould accidentally get elected, he’ll revert to form. This is what Rubio is saying.

[Iron Munro]

Who needs democrats when you have “republicans” like Rubio to carry their water for them?
