"Rush, I love you, but you're dead wrong about Marco Rubio - he's a sleazy snake and his electability is a myth." ~ Keli Carender, Founder of the modern day American Tea Party movement
I love Rush Limbaugh. I'm not afraid to admit it. I am a 30-something Ditto Head. He's one of my heroes, and always will be. Therefore, it pains me to write this, but it must be done. I can't listen to this defense of Marco Rubio as a full-throated conservative any longer without going a little crazy. So, here it goes. Rush, I love you, but you're wrong about Rubio's conservatism, and wrong to think that he has a good chance to win in November.
I feel confident in predicting that millions of conservatives will not vote for Marco Rubio should he become the Republican nominee for President. There are too many conservatives that don't trust him, and refuse to choose between the lesser of two evils yet again. And we are correct in our distrust of Marco Rubio. He is not the conservative he claims to be, and he will lose to Hillary or Bernie because a great enough number of conservatives and tea partiers will stay home rather than vote for him. It's not just the starring role Rubio played in the Gang of Eight, though considering the transformational nature of mass amnesty, it certainly is enough to rule out ever voting for him. It's also his lack of integrity and willingness to lie to us over and over again that will cause so many of us to vote third party, write in a name, or leave it blank in November. Seriously, at least Jeb! is honest and up front about his non-conservative opinions.

How does that work? Marco writes him a check or Adelson or the Kochs? Or is it promised advertising or a bag of cash? How much do you think it would take?
Supposedly he is worth $400 million now. He has talked about how he is audited all the time. Somebody blabs and he AND the bribing party go directly to jail.
Easier for me to believe he has gone soft, or soft in the head, and just thinks Rubio might be able to win.
BTW I wouldn't care if Rubio was at 90 percent. I still wouldn't vote for him.
I heard when Rush called Rubio a “full-throated conservative.” I was shocked.
And then when a woman from Florida called him and gave the sequence of events that Rubio took to betray them on amnesty, Rush practically slammed the phone on her, and later even regretted, how rash he appeared.
Is it a kind of charm he throws around people, that they think in theory, he works? I don’t get it. His record of no shows or present, tells me, he’s working the system, to be all things to all people.
And its not what he has done or lead on, because there is no record of him out by himself leading a charge, but his hot air is all about demographics, and I thought we were through with affirmative action candidates.
Or maybe it is as Santorum said on Morrning Joe, it’s his “potential.”
I’m with you on that
‘Preciate that.
Whatever the hell Rush is on about these days I’m just hoping we can get a whoop-ass conservative for president.
To the barricades!
