Rubio said:

“The truth is that neither of these two men is anti-immigrant,” Rubio said. “Both are pro-legal immigration and both have positive messages that play well in the Hispanic community.”

What’s wrong with that?

There is nothing wrong with that satement..Except Romney at best is a moderate. Even that is a stretch in my not so humble opinion.
Its the following statement that raises the rino flag for me.

“Mitt Romney is no Charlie Crist. Romney is a conservative,” Rubio said.

“Mitt Romney is no Charlie Crist. Romney is a conservative,” Rubio said”

When Rubio or anyone else says Willard is a conservative, why in the hell are they bashing it on? His bankrupting of Mass with socialized medicine, or his support of homosexual marriage and abortion on demand? Maybe his war against the second amendment? It’s all there for these genius “conservatives” to read. Google “Mitt Romney liberal”. This SOB should have switched to the democratic party years ago. It’s a disgrace and joke that some New England Rockefeller liberal like Romney actually thinks he can get the GOP nomimation, especially two years after the CONSERVATIVE Tea Party send RINOs packing all over the country. Rubio shows his ingorance calling Romney a conservative, or maybe he’s just that dumb. Just another pretty boy who don’t know his ass from a hole in the ground.

I, too, was troubled by that statement when I heard it a couple of days ago. But then I remembered that Romney really went to the mats for Rubio when nearly all of the GOP establishment (including a lot of conservative Senators) were gushing over Charlie Crist and annointing him as the next Senator from Florida. It would be crass for Rubio to turn around less than two years later and call Romney a RINO and endorse one of his opponents (which is why I never criticized Sarah Palin for endorsing McCain in 2010); the fact that Rubio hasn’t endorsed Romney makes me believe that while Rubio thinks that Romney is “not as bad as Crist,” that he still disagrees with him on many issues.

And my response was to a post that called Rubio a RINO for saying that candidates who oppose illegal immigration are not “anti-immigrant.”
