RE :”Former South Carolina senator Jim DeMint, now president of the Heritage Foundation, was probably Rubio’s single most important political ally in 2010, endorsing him in June 2009, baffling Washington, D.C., operatives, since Rubio looked like such a weak candidate. The Senate Conservatives Fund was Rubio’s third-largest donor, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics, giving him over $100,000. A money bomb they later organized raised $400,000.
DeMint also has a record as a top immigration hawk, helping derail the 2007 immigration bill. DeMint and his allies are shocked at Rubio’s change of heart. But those in his orbit say DeMint isn’t necessarily angry: he can separate disagreements from relationships, they say. “Marco’s a great friend, and that won’t change just because we have a serious policy disagreement,” DeMint notes. “He’s trying to find a real solution, but this bill has been orchestrated by Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer and is nothing more than amnesty with empty promises on security and legal reform.”

Rubio has decided that the road to the WH is cleared with amnesty. His gambit is that if this gets signed into law it will be forgotten by 2016 by conservatives, in fact I wonder if he is even counting on a deal with the house.

Amnesty =big GOP $$$$$ for donations plus a few Hispanic voters too for a Rubio run.

What makes people think these idiots aren’t plants, infiltrators?

What better way but to gain control of both parties, obviously they have.
