Palin calls Rubio an ‘amnesty supporter’
The Washington Post's Post Politics ^ | June 24, 2013 | Aaron Blake

Sarah Palin on Monday came out against the Senate immigration bill, criticizing its border security provisions and labeling Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) an “amnesty supporter.”

“It’s beyond disingenuous for anyone to claim that a vote for this bill is a vote for security,” Palin wrote on her Facebook page. “Look no further than the fact that Senator Rubio and amnesty supporters nixed Senator [John] Thune’s amendment that required the feds to finally build part of a needed security fence before moving forward on the status of illegal immigrants who’ve already broken the law to be here.”

Palin also criticized the decision to spurn so-called “trigger” provisions — sponsored by Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) — that would halt the path to citizenship until certain border security benchmarks are met.

She said a new border security agreement, crafted by Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and John Hoeven (R-N.D.) and set for a vote Monday, is inadequate.

“Now the Senate’s pro-amnesty crowd is offering a fig leaf to security via the Corker-Hoeven Amendment, but this is really nothing more than empty promises. It’s amnesty right now and border security … eh, well, someday,” she wrote.....

Sarah is right.

Sarah should call all of them out by name.

The repubs want cheap labor and the dems want new voters.

Surf over to his Facebook site. His angry erstwhile supporters are giving him more flak than a B-52 would have gotten over Hanoi in 1972.

He’s got problems. Cruz is the critter I’m watching. The terrain is full of land mines.

Q: How do you know when Rubio is lying?
A: His lips are moving.

Rode his way into the senate on a slate of misrepresentations as to who he was and what he stood for. Now, side-by-side with his buddy Schumer, his true colors are shining through.

>> Rubio lied about it. It’s one thing to be a RINO ... but a lying coniving RINO is even worse <<

Mel Martinez claimed he was "100% against amnesty" six years earlier and Florida conservatives accepted it at face value, getting burned badly. It's one thing to be fooled by a lying coniving RINO once, but TWICE in a row? Shame on Florida's "conservative" leaders for being so gullible.

Not only is Rubio an amnesty supporter, he’s also an athletic supporter, if you catch my drift.

But Sarah, having too much class, won’t say something like that. And that’s what HER supporters are for!
