Frank Gaffney: Does Rubio Want To Be President or Just The Next John McCain?
breitbart ^ | 6/7/13 | f gaffney

Posted on 06/07/2013 6:38:18 PM PDT by bestintxas

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."

Rubio wants to be loved by the left. It’s a common disease, usually terminal.

“Rubio is past tense. For me, its Rand or Ted.”

Rand Paul is too much like Rubio when it comes to immigration.

One would think he would disavow those ridiculous ads. I have to say, I love seeing (hearing) Soros and Bloomberg wasting their money.

It sure didn’t take long for him to turn into a RINO.

Maybe all this time he's been one. It's hard to hide that forever.

The question was “Does Rubio Want To Be President or Just The Next John McCain?”

In humor I answered Marco called Ted Cruz a Wacko Bird.

No proof is needed. : )

Politically speaking Marco has slit his wrists and is bleeding out. His chances of becoming the 2016 GOP nominee are zero at this point. He will have to fight to get another senate term.

Rubio wants to be Chris Christie.

White Boy Marco Rubio has dreams (delusions) of leading the Mexican/Hispanic masses who have crashed through our border. Same as the mocha messiah leads the black masses, Marco wants to lead the mestizo masses in America. Mestizo are Spanish+Indian mixed bloods who are the largest population in Mexico with many in Central America too and now the USA hosts millions of them si Señor!

Everyone south of our border obsesses about caste and race and how much Indian blood and Euro blood you have/ just watch some Spanish TV soaps

Like most politics in the age of Obama this is tribal politics and Marco Rubio is a tribal politician
