Marco Rubio’s press secretary likens non-citizen permanent residency to slavery
Twitchy ^ | Monday April 22, 2013

Posted on 04/21/2013 10:09:55 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Alex Conant @AlexConant: "We haven't had a cohort of people living permanently in US without full rights of citizenship since slavery".

Mind you, he isn’t talking only about illegal immigrants. He’s talking about any non-citizen who lives in this country permanently, including millions of Green Card holders.

And by implication:

Conn Carroll @conncarroll: For those of you keeping score at home, Rubio spokesman @AlexConant just compared all Schumer-Rubio opponents to slave owners

If this is Team Rubio’s strategy for winning over conservatives, good luck with that.

Rubio is like a thoroughbred with an amazing pedigree and stellar record as a 2-year, who in his first race as a 3-year old breaks his leg while still in the starting gate. I’ve never seen any young politician with such potential toss away his career so quickly through self-inflicted wounds. He could have been the leader of the “secure the border first” movement, which would have given him massive Tea Party support, instead he chose to become a lackey for John McCain.

Good analogy. But personally I’d compare him to another part of the Horse’s anatomy. Something further back....

except the “slaves” didnt jump on ships and sneak into this country looking for work or welfare, did they?

Rubio were your parents American “slaves” for escaping Cuba to come here and live as non citizens ?

I suppose next, Miami is gonna be just like the Warsaw ghetto, right?

Rubio- whatta maroon
Move along conservatives, nothing to see here

Hate to say it, but Rubio is an idiot on this issue.

A "useful" idiot. I seem to recall that phrase being used by someone in the past...

Next time you visit one of those shanty towns take a camera. It is going to require documentation to awaken the “people”.

I'm glad he did this. We now know who he is before he became a tenured part of the GOP-e.

They are not slaves.

The slaves are us. The AMERICAN taxpayers!

Been done.

The place I am talking about is in Schuyler, Nebraska. Right outside the Excel packing plant.

Reporters have taken pictures, front page stories, and no one cares.

I’m amazed at how quickly Rubio and Pat Toomey caught Potomac Fever. Glad we didn’t just find all this out about Rubio after a GOP nomination in 2016.

>>It this is indeed Rubio’s spokesperson...he needs to slap a huge piece of duct tape over his mouth.<<

Actually, he needs to be put in the spotlight and given a microphone.

He’s probably saying out loud exactly what Rubio thinks.

The GOP-E continues not to get it. Conservatives can and will leave if they aren’t listened to.

A growing number of us are off the reservation, and now it appears as though Rubio wants us to take that term literally.

But we all have to jump onboard the RINO ‘16 bandwagon now before it is too late. After all, he is better than XXX or XXX.
*****************************************************************
Maybe, just maybe, that won't need to be happening if, by some improbable act of sanity, conservatives united behind a single SANE conservative who won't go kooky on us. But it's probably more likely that conservatives, egged on by agent provocateurs of the RINOs & the mainstream media will automatically form into circular firing squads and kill one another off.
