He is stupid.
He may have been bought off.
He may well be dirty and is being blackmailed
But he believed in amnesty way before most conservatives ever heard of him. He was killing tough illegal immigration bills in the FL Legislature when he was Florida’s Speaker of the House. He stated his dislike of Arizona’s tough laws before he was elected senator. This was not a surprise. I have always been shocked that TEA party people were so easily fooled by him, and even after I told them about his love of illegals, they’d still make excuses for him.
I had hoped that his alignment with the TEA party movement meant he would bury his love of illegals in order to keep himself in office, but no. He was perfectly happy to make conservatives look like stooges. It does not appear that he cares whether or not he is re-elected. As long as he can get illegals into this country, he’ll be happy.
He's been an amnesty backer since his days in the statehouse. He did not fall for Democrat flattery. We fell for Rubio's deceit.
I think this will finish the GOP and yes, the dems will have a lock on power from here on out.
While we haven’t been running around with torches, pitchforks, muskets and cannon balls, I believe that we have been in the midst of a civil war.... and we may have just lost the darn thing.
Thank You.

Somethings gotta give...
Yes,I know that Rubio has talked about immigration from the beginning, but his plan involved in giving amnesty to college graduates or graduates of a trade school. He wanted them to get an education and then the amnesty.
Just like there’s no massive illegal alien ballot stuffing going on in CA, Il, and NY.
Rubio is a prison punk he is so screwed.
I agree, but I am also afraid that we have been sabotaged from within by Republican union supporters who refused to go into battle against the unions. There was a time that I thought that taking on the unions was an ill fated battle that was not worth the effort, but that was before I learned about the SEIU and other government unions, before ACORN and Obamacare.
I tried to talk to the head of our state Republican Party about the SEIU and other government unions and he told me to go to the state convention and propose an amendment, but he that the Republican Party was going to do it.
Rubio is the new McCain.
While theoretically Republican, he votes Democrat to be praised as the man who crossed the aisle and compromised.
That is true. I looked at some of the ol posts about Rubio back when he was running for Senate. Any FReeper who brought up his amnesty leanings was quickly swarmed by Rubio backers.
Oh! He will have such fun being the celebrity for a day or two at the cocktail parties.
What fun for him.
Isn’t he cute? He may score with a Hollywood celeb.
All I hear is blah, blah, blah we have to do this it’s the right thing to do, blah, blah, blah the status quo is unacceptable, blah, blah, blah this bill will have the strongest border provisions...and oh did I mention this is not amnesty? Do I have to go on Senator Marked Rube?
Just what does the NSA got on Rubio?
Marco's status is the same as that of Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama, who is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.
Yet, Barack Obama is still President.
So, what does your claim mean, in actual fact?
Nothing.
Wow - when all of the Mexicans in Texas start voting rat there will NEVER be a president from any other party.
A year ago, I would have considered Rubio to be a great candidate for president.
Now, I feel exactly the same way about him as you.
I can’t stand the sight of him.
Nothing
To those who don't care about our Constitutional form of government, I suppose you're correct, it would mean nothing.
