MSM again selecting our nominee for us. The Hispanic vote is not that large yet. And if Hillary runs, Rubio will not get anywhere near 48% of the Hispanic vote.
The precedent is now set. One just doesn’t have to be NBC to be president and I guess we should all give up on the constitution. It just doesn’t matter anymore anyhow.
No, they are NOT.
No "social conservative" could vote for the sworn enemy of social conservatism that Obama is. Ever.
And admixture of "conservatisms" is no conservatism at all.
I won’t vote for him. Not into getting more GOP to vote by enlarging the tent at the expense of conservative ideals.

Oh, why not!! Afterall, the die hard GOP has been pounding us for decades that all that matters is WINNING!!!! To hell with the country!
We won with George Bush.....FAT lot of good that did! WE could have given him his amnesty in 2004 and by now we’d need another one! Idiots! Doing some boneheaded agenda doesn’t work, so they decide to do it some more!
As more is learned about Rubio, I predict he will experience the same absence of enthusiasm from the conservative base that sealed Romney’s fate (i.e., Rubio isn’t a conservative).
Then I guess you don’t need conservative white folks’ vote.
Remember that when you party hacks cry in your coffee that you lost another one.
Good luch pandering to grab the non-existent support from newly registered illegal, feminazi, and homo voters. How’s that ‘big tent’ working out for ya?
Pandering to an ethnic community is not the answer despite what this ‘author’ says.
If the Constitution/Bill of Rights cannot be made real and visceral to the “ethnic” communities, and the conservatives cannot run a candidate that measures up to the Constitution/Bill of Rights, then we are absolutely doomed to continue on this ruinous path toward totalitarian social democracy.....
Not that any politician is to be trusted

Your mileage may vary,
Another group that votes based only on color of skin.
No more lilly white guys from either party it seems.
Unless they have found a method to poll dead and nonexistent voters, I'm not buying any of it.
Should Rubio actually be the GOP candidate, I eagerly await the MSM reports claiming that voting for someone because of their ethnicity would be “wrong”.
Of course, I’m assuming that the MSM will actually exist three years from now.
Watch the Dems try to kill this by circulating the meme that the GOP hates Hispanics. You’re going to see this more and more,including troll posters here who post anti-Hispanic rants that are probably even now being forwarded by “helpful” Dems to the appropriate media outlets.
I live in Florida and I’ve seen Rubio speak ... He’s amazing, not only an extremely good speaker, but with a real depth of knowledge of the issues. Heck, he should have skipped senator and run directly for president last time around.
But he will have two problems.,.the voter
perception that the GOP is anti-Hispanic, and the reality that the GOP e only wants somebody who is like them (rich, WASP, male RINOs). That’s what “electable” means in their minds.
It wont be hard to beat Romney with Hispanics.
But I have seen this claim before :
" An internal document prepared by a top Democratic strategist warns that a majority of African American voters in Maryland are open to supporting Republican Senate candidate Michael S. Steele and advises the party not to wait to "knock Steele down.""
Poll Finds Steele May Be Magnet for Black Voters (By Matthew Mosk Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, April 6, 2006 )
Not eligible under Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution.
If this is who the GOP-E powers that be are pushing on us...then I guess we will have Obama and his ilk as permanent fixtures in the White House.
It’ll be the Romney Re-RUNS again. Whatever.
Not playing their games anymore.
As usual, when ‘analyzing’ the impact of the Hispanic vote, no study at all of how many conservative votes will be lost by nominating a pandering, amnesty pushing RINO.
These clowns need to learn to do subtraction as well as addition.
... Of course this pole is recent .... when the election season is in full swing .... no matter who the GOP nominee is, by the time the Democrat/Socialist media propaganda machine is finished .... he or she will appear to be the spawn of Satan and unelectable.
This is the media and/or GOPe pushing their favorite(s).
Rubio’s amnesty pushing is going to lose him much support. Many don’t want a McCain-lite.
Rubio’s resume is about as thin as Obama’s was. Rubio started his political career at about age 28 and has become a professional politician.
Rubio’s thinking that the borders will be secured by his/the next amnesty bill is delusional. Even if his fellow politicians SAY they will see that the border is secured, in reality, that securing will be about as much/little as with previous amnesty bills. If Rubio were truly seeking border security, that would be done with EXISTING laws.
So tired of this. There is no “Latino vote”. They are not an undifferentiated mass like Blacks. They come from different countries, different cultures, and are in different economic brackets.
And p.s. they do have one thing in common - they all hate Cubans.
