Voters are beginning to learn about Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio.
What they're not learning, however, is who is paying to promote his candidacy.
The Florida senator is benefiting in unprecedented ways from a nonprofit group funded by anonymous donors. While other presidential candidates also have ties to secret-money groups, the Rubio arrangement is the boldest.
Every pro-Rubio television commercial so far in the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina has been paid for not by his campaign or even by a super PAC that identifies its donors, but instead by a nonprofit called Conservative Solutions Project. It's also sending Rubio-boosting mail to voters in those same states.
Rubio is legally prohibited from directing the group's spending, and he has said he has nothing to do with it. But there's little doubt that Conservative Solutions Project is picking up the tab for critical expenses that the campaign itself might struggle to afford.

Interesting how the media has brought Rubio forward
suddenly.
I learned everything I needed to know about Rubio from his Gang activities.
One of Karl’s babies?
I have no doubt that Conservative Solutions Project is funded by The Cheap Labor Express
I haven’t heard any PAC radio ads for Rubio in NC, but a lot of PAC radio ads for Cruz.
I like how the ap makes a non-story sound so devious and sinister
KOCH
Rubio is not going to be elected President. Nor are any Elite Republican buttboys that the news media and Establishment Republicans are hawking. What they will do, however, is to guarantee a Democrat win.
If this was happening on the left the press wouldn't mention it - or they'd talk about how smart and wonderful it was...
“I like how the ap make a non-story sound so devious and sinister.”
New York Times today has a major article “From only 158 Families, Half the Cash in the ‘16 Race”. The focus is on the wealthy capitalists funding the Republican candidates. Soros is mentioned in passing. Nothing about Steyer and the Hollywood multimillionaires funding the Democrats. The story also fails to put in perspective most of the action in the primary season is on the GOP side with more than a dozen candidates while the Dem race is essentially down to Clinton and Sanders. No mention that if Biden jumps in on the Dem side he’ll be going to billionaires for funding. Certainly no mention of the sources of Hillary’s war chest.
From here to election day expect the press to be beating the drum of the wealthy owning Republicans while nothing being said about Democrat money.
Rubio has effectively quit his job to campaign. Someone will pay him off in Nov 2016 if he doesnt make it to the Rainbow Mosque. That will prove interesting.
“I like how the ap makes a non-story sound so devious and sinister”
Exactly.
And is this opinion or news?
Just because Rubio is not a good candidate does not mean the AP’s propaganda tools need to go unnoticed, accepted or unmentioned.
Rubio and Carly the two Bush hedges of the cheap labor express.
I thought it was illegal for a non-profit to advocate for a candidate or party.
What did I miss?
snif snif, smells like Zuckerberg
When combined with a labyrinth for a tax code, it's this never-ending search for campaign cash that has so thoroughly corrupted our government.
All this money in politics is either buying a favorable exemption in the code, or a corrupt on-sided trade deal...or illegal alien labor.
And ANYONE who takes their money is corrupt by definition.
I know, it's a catch 22 at times. Seemingly good candidates who are right on most/all issues should be able to take donations and build superpacs. It's First Amendment, by definition.
But the other side of that coin is: There WILL be a time to pay that piper. And a candidate that wants to stay has to tow the line.
AP misleading readers.
Conservative Solutions Project is a ‘super PAC’. All PACs are ‘non-profit’, AFAIK, even the Democrat ones.
Rubio has already shown in his young career he is a traitor. No thanks.
