Surprise: Rubio is “all-in” for amnesty

Politico reports that Marco Rubio is prepared “to go all in to support sweeping immigration legislation, offering himself up as the public face of the bill.” This isn’t much a surprise. In all likelihood, Rubio has been prepared to be the front-man in the push for amnesty and path for citizenship for illegal aliens from the get-go. His sponsorship of reprehensible efforts to demonize critics of amnesty have shown him to be every bit as much of a ruthless pro-amnesty ideologue as Chuck Schumer, for whom he is fronting.

If the GOP allows Rubio to ram this through, they'll be branded worse than the democrats with Obamacare. It'll stick like white on rice.

[Paladin2]

RINO all the way.

Sent to the ash heap.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Once 20 million undocumented Democrats become documented we can just hold a vote on replacing the Constitution with the Communist Manifesto and be done with it.

[Zhang Fei]

I’ve always viewed Rubio as the Second Coming of Crist. Watch for the change in party registration.

[SoFloFreeper]

Do we really believe Politico? Any liberal media outlet will color the “news” to favor their side. How stupid can we be to continue to feed these people?

I’d prefer to wait until I hear from Marco Rubio himself.

[babygene]

However, it’s not a surprise to me anyway....

[plain talk]

Rubio is a next generation RINO. conservative at times but will sell us out at will. A career politician that can’t be trusted

[Mamzelle]

I guess he wants to be president of —Mexico— someday...

[Mamzelle]

He’s a lawyer, after all.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

He sold out to the unions.

[Tammy8]

Pandering to the illegals is working so well for him so far. Not. At a recent protest those in favor of amnesty were carrying anti Rubio signs; when a reporter asked them about it they admitted they don’t even know who he is...The illegals are already owned by the dims; lock, stock, and barrel. The only ones who doubt this are Republicans.

[stilloftyhenight]

There are Rubio youtube videos, words direct from the horse’s mouth. Google it. Bolo for the weasel words.

[Zhang Fei]

I guess he wants to be president of —Mexico— someday...

A Cuban becoming the president of Mexico would be quite a feat.

[bicyclerepair]

First TEA party event I ever went to in early 09 was to hear Rubio speak at some bar.

He was heckled due to his opposition as FL speaker against AZ’s immg laws.

• ...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften [immigration, gay marriage] stance]

• One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v. Wade... [Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run]

I’d prefer to wait until I hear from Marco Rubio himself.

In his own words (with conditions) ILLEGAL aliens would have a path to citizenship.

Second Coming of Christ....LOL so true

Guarantee, though, there will still be PhonyCon Liberals who will insist Rubio is Conservative.... and our best chance to win in 2016. Sean Hannity will continue to have nocturnal emission over Rubio

[SeminoleCounty]

Time to wake up on Rubio

[vmivol00]

La Raza Rubio is a fraud.

[prairiebreeze]

I’d prefer to wait until I hear from Marco Rubio himself.

I understand you'll get your chance.....he's going out on the talk shows this weekend to hype it.

If they'd released this news on Thursday, I'd have felt a bit better....maybe. But a Friday late afternoon news dump.....watch out.
