Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin slammed what she called Sen. Marco Rubios (R-FL) latest rationale for passing comprehensive immigration reform; that President Barack Obama will enact reforms unilaterally with or without the GOPs support. She called Rubios latest plea to conservatives craven and said that he should go down fighting against immigration reform rather than conceding that those reforms were already fait accompli.

To argue to conservatives who believe in limited government that we should pass this massive amnesty monstrosity because Obama is going to do it anyway smacks of the worst kind of political expedience, she continued. I think that Marco Rubios higher ambitions have clouded his brain,

Perfect.
I just don’t see a difference between libs rushing out to buy the new shoes Kim K wears to be like her and live vicariously and people on the right ‘buying’ the crap that Rubio is a true conservative’ is in any way correct or letting Levin slide on it.
That statement helped give Rubio power and leverage to push amnesty further and he did.
Levin, if we get this fiasco forced on us, has a share of blame and he should either be tarred with it or apologize for it.
The real problem is that there are no political consequences for the politicians who are screwing us. They keep getting reelected and retaining their leadership positions. We get the government we deserve.
And that has been my point for years and people call me everything but a white man over it.
When the GOP saw we would WILLINGLY vote for a guy who was against EVERYTHING we CLAIM to believe in, it was a green light to go full metal liberal. And they did.
We proved that we are paper tigers.
Lets not forget how many people on this site supported Rubio at first. Before this ‘plan’ he had always stated we needed immigration reform.
Levin does not always get it right. Michelle Malkin almost always does.
Marco Rubio is an opportunistic little political hack who thought he would jump on the immigration train and ride it into the Whitehouse. If he said it was raining I would still go look out the window.
Yes, she’s a little firecracker. I like her a great deal too.
They were warned by people who ‘knew’ him/in his area. They chose to follow the lesser evil doctrine. They got a greater evil for their trouble. Because lesser evil never stays lesser once given power.
But even seeing reality unfold, people still say thats what we must do because the Rubios of the GOP are better than the Rubios of the Dems.
Sometimes a Rubio is just a Rubio...
I can only think vaguely of a couple times I have disagreed with MM. But Levin I disagree with a lot more lately.
I think it was more along the lines of a person with a racial heritage that could take votes from Dems. Desperate to win and able to overlook faults.
Having read the immigration quotes before everything else i was wary of Rubio early on. I have no such reservations with Cruz. None at all.
So far Cruz is All American. He is proving to be the real deal. I was skeptical but hopeful of him and he has surpassed by far my expectations. I hope he sticks to it once the full bore of the RINO/MSM/Lib guns are leveled at him...and he’s almost there now. I think/hope he will stay strong.
It’s rare i have pleasant conversations here. Thank you.
Likewise!
It’s good to see a RINO exposed.
” Yes, shes a little firecracker. I like her a great deal too.”
All these years, she never wavered....never backed off.
She is by far, my favorite.
That’s my take on her also.
Some of our women put our men to shame.
I like Michelle and I also like Phyllis Schlafley. (sp?)
Phyllis is the last of the old guard fighters.
Yep, I agree. It is nice to see Michelle take up that mantle though.
Let me get this straight. You're anti-Levin, right? < rimshot>
I think that Beck and Levin are the greatest assets that the Tea Party has right now.
I am anti putting your ‘friends’ over your country and calling Gang of Ocho Amnesty authors “True Conservatives” ahead of your country and thereby helping to empower the GOP to force it on us.
Aren’t you?
I am against the repeated claims that the most important issue affecting America and that will likely end it can be obtained by tuning in next week.
Aren’t you?
I do not think we need either supposed conservative mouthpiece pulling crap like that.
