“Fly”, in name or as a means of “outing” the marxist pResident, should be the logo-symbol for the NWO.

It is certainly “appearing” more and more, lately.

(IMHO, Rubio is getting a big head. Seems he’s ready to sign on to the NWO and get his riches.)

It doesn't matter what Rubio is or isn't, because Obama isn't leaving, or losing an election against a Republican ever again. His biggest threat is within the liberal leadership of the democrat party.

Anyone assuming we can survive to 2016, and win a fraud filled election within a broken system are moving in the wrong direction. Mark Levin was correct when he said we live in a post-Constitutional era, and need to be thinking outside the box for solutions.

The Patriot movement is showing significant growth. I have been very surprised by the way Conservatives have come together on the fundamentals of the Constitution with a professionalism that stopped a lot of the infighting, which looked like it would be a bigger problem than it has been.

Most Conservatives understand they need to work together to have a chance to save the nation. I guess it's obvious that nobody wins an argument over an issue that will become irrelevant if our Nation collapses, but being obvious usually means little in politics it seems. I like seeing people across the Conservative political spectrum cooperating, but it's still going to take a hell of a fight to salvage anything of our once great nation.

Crus was born in Canada, so he is ineligible to be President.

So is Rubio...his parents were not US citizens at the time of his birth...contrary to what some of our more leftist Rubio supporters he is not eligible

Believe me, the Dems will not wimp out if the GOP runs ineligible candidates....it will not be like our PhonyCon Liberal GOP Media who sided with Obama on the Eligibility issue

People need to dumpe the Cruz and Rubio for President talk NOW..they are not eligible. We need Real Conservatives who are eligible

Remember in 2016 the RATs will probably be running an old white person.

RE :”His appointment to Rubio’s staff attests to the influence of the neocons within the GOP and Kristol’s success at promoting his associates. “

This makes sense now.
Neocons want ‘immigration reform’ at any cost because they need those poor Hispanics in the Army for those future invasions/land wars.
No surprise that McCain and Grahamnesty are big promoters of amnesty.

Ryan and Newt were on TV today repeating the new GOP amnesty buzz-phrase : "I support the Rubio immigration reform plan"

"The old RINO Republicans might think that running a Hispanic will get the GOP the Hispanic vote, but they are crazy if they do. The Hispanics, like the Negro’s ,and the Homosexuals, will vote for those who have a track record of buying their vote."

Rubio only has to neutralize -- not even flip -- 6% of the Latino vote, and he wins FL, NM, CO. Take that, with red 2012 + VA & IA, and he wins in 2016 by 274-264. Without OH!

If you have a divisive Donkey primary like most expect, that's realistically doable.

Rubio meets all the qualifications for a presidential candidate.

I guess anyone can be a candidate, but he is not eligible to hold the office.

....neocons are hot for amnesty----they need lotsa poor Hispanics in the US Army as "cannon fodder" for all the invasions and land wars they're planning......

Yeah---the pukeneos never saw an immigrant they didn't want to subsidize with tax dollars---dating back to WW 11. The contemporary Russian trek to the US is s-o-o-o-o profitable, they got Russians pretending they're Jews so they can stop off in Israel first---grab all the freebies there---then fly here to sign up to ride the US gravy train. As refugees from "persecution" the US freebies are tripled.

==================================================

Mmmmm......sure would like to be a fly on the wall at the Four Seasons---where the elite meet. The pukes plan all the invasions over chilled Cristal, room temp Brie and water crackers.

Course there's gonna be a lot more invasions and land wars since the pukes duped Bush into invading Iran. Now that the entire 100 million-strong Muslim world is aflame with hatred for the US, Americans, and Christians.

I guess the pukes will have to use darts and a Mideast map to decide which country they want the US to invade next (cackle).

Odd isnt it? Fox News got rid of pukeneo pals---Rove and Palin----but Chief Puke Billy Kristol is still a Fox talking head.

REFERENCE This past spring Kristol acknowledged that the NeoCons had successfully purged the isolationists from the GOP and were moving to purge the Realists, especially older realists----Hagel, Scowcroft, Baker, Kissinger, Schultz, Lugar etc.

NOTE: And let's not forget the pukeneos' very fave sport as they squat in the Repub party---kicking social conservatives to the curb.

================================================

REFERENCE How did the neocons – a small group at odds with most of the US foreign policy elite – manage to capture the Bush administration---and be given paid jobs and an entire WH division----the WH Office of Special OPs?

Few neos supported Bush during the presidential primaries. They feared Bush II would be like the first – a wimp who had failed to occupy Baghdad in the first Gulf War and who had pressured Israel into the Oslo peace process – and that his administration, again like his father's, would be dominated by moderate Republican realists such as Powell, James Baker and Brent Scowcroft. Neos supported the maverick senator John McCain until it became clear that Bush would get the nomination.

Then neos had a stroke of luck – VP Cheney was put in charge of the presidential transition (the period between the Nov election and the accession to office in January). Cheney used this opportunity to stack the administration with his hard-line allies. Instead of becoming the de facto president in foreign policy, as many had expected, Secretary of State Powell found himself boxed in by Cheney's right-wing network of neos, including Wolfowitz, Perle, Feith, Bolton and Libby.

The neocons took advantage of GW Bush's ignorance and inexperience. Unlike his father---a Second World War vet, onetime ambassador to China, director of the CIA, and VP---GWB was a thinly-educated playboy who had failed repeatedly in business before becoming the governor of Texas, a largely ceremonial position (the state's lieutenant governor has more power).

The younger Bush was tilting away from Powell and toward Wolfowitz ("Wolfie," as he calls him) even before 9/11 gave GWB something he had lacked: a life's mission other than following in dad's footsteps. There were signs of estrangement between the cautious father and the crusading son: in 2002, veterans of the first Bush admin--including Baker, Scowcroft and Lawrence Eagleburger, warned publicly against an invasion of Iraq without authorization from Congress and the UN.

It is not clear that George W fully understood the grand strategy that neo Wolfowitz and other aides were unfolding. GWB seemed genuinely to believe that there was an imminent threat to the US from Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction," something the leading neocons said in public but were far too intelligent to believe themselves.

The Neo's "Project for the New American Century" urged an invasion of Iraq throughout the Clinton years, for reasons that had nothing to do with possible links between Saddam and Osama bin Laden. Public letters signed by Wolfowitz and others called on the USto invade and occupy Iraq, to bomb Hezbollah bases in Lebanon, and to threaten states such as Syria and Iran with US attacks if they continued to sponsor terrorism.

Claims that the invasion was not to protect the American people but to make the Middle East safe for Israel are dismissed by the neocons as vicious anti-Semitism.

Yet (in 2003) Syria, Iran and Iraq were bitter enemies, with their weapons pointed at each other, and the terrorists they sponsor targeted Israel rather than the US. The neocons urged all-out war with Iran next, though by any rational measurement North Korea's new nuclear arsenal is, for the US, a far greater problem. (EXCERPT: By Michael Lind circa 2003)

Snappy comeback.

No logic. No facts.
Obviously can’t read.

Did you make it through the 8th grade ?

Actually I did, which is why you can't pull that cr@p on me. He is not a NBC and your howling will not make it so.

Please locate the words in the constitution that mention parents in regard to presidential candidates.
You can’t do it.

I can't find the part where it says Eric is an idiot, but I bet I can show why it should have been in there.

The sum of your comments are at the very least profane.

Profane: Marked by contempt or irreverence for what is sacred.
