Here’s Rubio. He ran, in 2010, in favor of English.
Just because it’s expedient, he goes 180, not just on this issue, on every one that he’ll find expedient.
Why anyone likes him is just so beyond me and baffling, It’s discouraging that our side can be so bamboozled disturbs me more than anything coming out of the dems. I expect it from them.
This is his character, not the issue.
He has no convictions.
From the Nat’l Journal Feb 2013:
But when he ran as a tea party-backed conservative in the 2010 Republican primary for the U.S. Senate, Rubio pivoted toward the right wing of his party and endorsed making English the official language of the U.S. “We have to have a common language that unites the people,” he said during the campaign. His Democratic opponent, then-Rep. Kendrick Meek of Miami, ran an attack ad that portrayed Rubio standing in front of a border fence and saying “Solo Ingles” (English only).
Rubio hasn’t mentioned English-only since his election and did not cosponsor a bill from Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, that would preclude the government from making government documents in other languages. On Tuesday night, however, Rubio found himself clearly at odds with the English-only advocates in giving his remarks in two languages.
Agreed!
Rubio can’t seem to help himself..
[snip]Other news today tells us about the GOP rising star and token hispanic, Marco Rubio, has co sponsored a bill to build a ‘Latino Museum’ at the Smithstonian. It appears blood IS thicker than patriotism.
“Menendez’s bill was backed by Democratic leader Sen. Harry Reid, Rep. Xavier Becerra, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, and Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio.
