Marco Rubio is preparing to go all in to support sweeping immigration legislation, offering himself up as the public face of a bill that will split the Republican Party — but that his allies hope will propel him to the front of the GOP presidential sweepstakes.
After offering lukewarm support until now, Rubio is preparing to fully embrace a measure that is the most significant of his political career so far. The gambit could pay off in spades by crowning a leading presidential contender in 2016, or it could permanently damage the Republican’s brand with conservatives.
Rubio is planning a media blitz to promote the bill — which is expected to be released early next week — making the rounds on all of the Sunday political talk shows starting this weekend, wooing skeptical conservative radio hosts and pitching the plan to Spanish-language news outlets. The campaign is aimed at building public support for the far-reaching immigration bill that will dominate Capitol Hill’s attention for much of year

Of course he will.
What a tool.
And you’re right, we have few allies, not enough to matter at all.
I’ve known for a while now that Rubio is a fraud. No surprise here.
I am shocked. / face palm and sarcasm tag!

Me neither. Lock and load the day is quickly approaching.
Will these new illegals be able to get welfare, cell phones, obamacare and the right to vote, unemployment etc.? NO FRIGGIN’ WAY JOSE!
You need to know how this comes about. Rubio and the gang of 8 have lined up with CPac/ ACU’s Grover Norquist and the South Poverty Law Center to push this amnesty and destroy all active anti amnesty groups.
Grover vs. ‘the Bitter Enders’(Grover trying to give Rubio political cover)

Southern Poverty Law Center Finds Fewer Militias, Hypes Militia Threat Anyway (FR mentioned)

[snip]At the heart of the attack is the accusation that the leading members of some groups critical of immigration policy were or still are environmentalists and liberals. This attack piggybacks on earlier work by the Southern Poverty Law Center that used some of the same information to accuse those groups of being tied to Neo-Nazi and White Supremacist groups. There’s something rather strange when “conservative sites” not only begin advocating for illegal alien amnesty, but begin repeating the claims that the Center for American Progress, Mother Jones and the Southern Poverty Law Center were making about anti-immigration groups 5-10 years ago. The same Norquist tactics being used to attack the anti-immigration movement can and will be used to attack the Counterjihadist camp.
Could? Not could - will. It's probably time to move behind Rand Paul (unless Sarah starts organizing a formal campaign NOW). Paul's not perfect, not by a long shot, but I think he'll be ready and good enough in 2016. At least he's not a moron or a traitor. I'm down to Paul, Palin, Ryan, or nothing - I'm already retired for political reasons and I'm going Galt 100% and letting the socialists feed themselves without my help if the GOP runs another RINO against another far left tyrant.
Yet another attempt by a Republican to pander to a certain electorate demographic, which is futile, unless the politician is going to send handouts of Taxpayer money to them.....that’s all we have today in Politics: pandering and handouts of other-people’s money to buy votes for re-election.
I would pay cash money to hear Rush Limbaugh tell Marco Rubio to take a long walk off a short pier.
Another Rino that is now dead to me.
Rubio is going to commit political suicide with his immigration stance. Which is fine with me because he is not ready to be President and IMO does not have the gravitas to be President. Plus he is likely not eligible.
That so many "conservatives" fell (and are still falling) for this obvious RINO scares the heck out of me. We've truly lost our way.

Rubio can go hang out with Luis Guiterrez ...they are cut from the same cloth.
Rubio might as well switch parties if he proposes amnesty.
Immigration reform is something we aren’t going to get..what we will get is even more open doors. Many business’s want cheaper labor and the RATS know they will get more votes.
We are watching the destruction of our Republic..
The people to support will only people the politicians against amnesty.
It is not surprising that Rubio supports amnesty over country. He built his entire political life hispandering.
Doesn’t matter. They’re not worried. They will join the left when there’s no where else to go. We’ll have a one party country soon with a dictator for life.
"He's dead' Jim.
It looks like the Aliens have claimed another victim."
