>> No one thought Rubio was or might be a flip flop waiting to happen Jeb Bush amnesty pimp except for a few sharp folks like Billyboy and you too I guess Itsahoot. He was a tea party poster boy, everyone loved him. <<

With Mel Martinez, I was pretty sure off right off the bat he was full of crap with his "I'm against amnesty" talking points, and said so right on FR when he was running for Senate. Tons of red herrings with that guy: donating tons of money to liberal Dems, trial lawyer, rubber stamp for whatever George W. Bush told him to do (and Bush definitely wanted amnesty in 2004), gave loans to illegal aliens to purchase HUD homes when he was secretary of HUD, etc.

Rubio was a lot more charismatic and slicker. I didn't know either way if he was for or against amnesty. I suggested conservative groups should move pretty cautiously after the Martinez fallout and not endorse anyone until they were certain the guy could be trusted. Nope, my pleas fell on the deaf ears. Rubio has announced his candidacy = ENDORSE!!!!!!!!!!! WOO-HOO, GO RUBES!!!

And Florida conservatives are whining about how he "betrayed" them too. Like I said, if they want someone to blame, look in the mirror.
