In his June 4 column in The Washington Times, Frank J. Gaffney Jr. asked if Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is serious about running for president in 2016--or if he'd rather just be an accepted fixture in the Washington establishment.
In other words, Rubio's vote on the immigration overhaul is going to tell us whether he plans on being president or if he's happy just being the next Senator John McCain.
Here's how Gaffney put it:
If Mr. Rubio is content with merely paying lip service to the safety and security of the American people, he will continue to enable the adoption of this 1,077-page monstrosity....If, on the other hand, Mr. Rubio actually does take seriously his responsibility as a federal lawmaker to provide for the common defense, and if he seriously aspires to the presidency, there is simply no way he can enable this bill's enactment in anything remotely like its present form.
Gaffney fears that Rubio "wants it both ways" at present, but that's simply not going to work. He backs this up by showing that "bill's present structure makes a mockery of claims that border security comes first."

He's a more charming version of Mel Martinez.
And worse, he lied repeatedly about what was in that bill.
We won’t forget.
The reference means he wants to be McCain
The hilarious thing about these ads bankrolled by Zuckerface is that if you listen to the first fifteen seconds they amount to a better argument against this POS bill than anything opponents could muster.
Having a real vision and being able to articulate it is what makes a winner.
I don’t remember Mel. But I believe you. Have a good evening.
I am glad to see anything by Frank Gaffney, I think he is a real hero.
Rubio is just a pretty boy with pretty words.
Without naturalization-and eventually, enfranchisement-we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
The only reason the Democratic Party supports amnesty is because it ensures a steady supply of new voters, turning the rest of the country into California.
I have had it with all these billionaires who think they own America.
Reminds me of an old Casey Stengall story.
In the early years of the Mets, a reporter asked Casey about two young pitchers. One was Tom Seaver.
Reporter: So Skipper, in twenty years, where will those two be?"
The Old Perfessor: "Those two? Well that one (pointing to Seaver) will be in the Hall of Fame. The other one? He'll be 45."

AMEN
And certainly not a Motel 6! LOL
And he’s still lying-present tense.
And the kenyan was doing exactly the same today about obamacare. Telling flat out fairy tales. The similarities between how they operate are striking. Rubio is a dangerous man.
Rubio has gone from nobody to potential superstar to the next John "RINO" McCain in less than one year.
Proof?
