As the Rubio campaign tries to halt the momentum of Senator Ted Cruz in Iowa, it has released a new ad aimed directly at evangelical voters, called "Faith," in which Senator Marco Rubio discusses Christianity. ...

Mr. Rubio begins by saying, "Our goal is eternity, the ability to live alongside our creator and for all time."

...

"The purpose of our life is to cooperate with God's plan." The ad closes with Mr. Rubio's approval message, as his entire family smiles for the camera.

Man, the Evangelicals in Iowa are so stupid this sort of appeal probably actually works.

Such a pandering schmoo.

The anchor baby got religion all of a sudden.

[MrEdd]

Well he was raised catholic and converted to Mormonism.
He’s evangelical like he’s a secure borders guy.

Rubio is worse than Paul Ryan and Evangelicals should not support him .

If you don’t think Cruz is eligible because of his birthplace than you should not vote for someone with two foreign parents either .

All I have to say to Rubio is, “Thou shalt not bear false witness.”

That is stunningly rude and one of many anti-christian posts I've read from Trump supporters in the post few hours.

That is stunningly rude

It's also true! Boo hoo hoo.

No. You are very misleading. They way I understand it, Rubio's family started going to a Mormon church when they moved to Nevada. He was under 10 and when they moved back to Florida, they went back to their Catholic church. They were in Nevada only 2 or 3 years, and because of his young age, he should not be held responsible for the church his parents took him to.

Your post is shameful and a disgrace, as you are, since you had to know the circumstances. I'm not a Rubio voter, but I do appreciate fair play, so I am guessing you are a Trump supporter.

Dave W in his post hypothesized that MrEdd is a Trump supporter.

I'd like to post the question to MrEdd. Who do you support for the nomination? Don't answer "I haven't decided" if your posts obviously favor a particular candidate. FWIW, I've been very open about my transition to being firmly pro-Trump after starting out as a Cruzer.

We ALL help the discussion if we're open and honest about whom we support.

[MrEdd]

Originally Walker, until he went amnesty.
Currently Cruz.

But Cruz has some supporters who make looney toons attacks on Trump over doing things every candidate should propose regarding national security instead of sticking to the many things that are actually wrong (such as his abuse of eminent domain) with Trump. I have to call them on that, I am not “ end justifies the means” kind of guy.
