Rubio will also be addressing la raza - in their native tongue.
What say you?
BTW, meant to add in there the word “message” after Tea Party.
Are you for Rand Paul or Rubio?
Take your pick.
I wonder which one Rove, Krauthammer, O’Reilly, Vannity, Coulter and others support - of these two that is.
The role of Republicans over the last 70-80 years has been being the bean-counters and accountants for Progressives’ big Gov’t plans.
You want Medicaid? You want a war on poverty? You want Obamacare? Well, OK - we don’t like it, but we’ll get used to it, and let’s take it slow and figure out how to help you pay for it all!!
Many Republicans, like Bush, even want in on the act - Medicare drug benefits, TSA, TARP - how much will those little bits of RINO Progressivism contribute to the country’s future bankruptcy?
Personally, I am tired of it all. I am ALL FOR someone who wants to truly start to tear it down.
We shall see. I expect Rand and Rubio to both vote for amnesty.
I don’t consider Rand Paul as representing the TP. His libertarian leanings not withstanding, he also has too many leanings toward “mushy conmpassionism” to represent the TP.
Methinks he fashions himself a modern-day “Hawkeye Pierce” given his medical service in the military; and we all know what category Pierce / Alan Alda fits into.
I like both. People here now want to tear Rubio down when he was the biggest Tea Party win in the nation just two years ago. His candidacy was DeMint and the conservatives vs the Senate ‘doing business as usual crowd’ who funded Charlie Crist in the primary.
Now, he’s suddenly terrible even though he’s been a good vote for us on nearly every issue the past two years. I have first hand knowledge of his staff in DC standing up for the right things during lobbying meetings. He’s the real deal, and he’s a tremendous voice for conservatism.
Rand Paul may be the closest person to me ideologically that I have ever seen in the Senate. He is courageous and standing for the right things most of the time.
I like both, and look forward to hearing both. If Rubio morphs into a DC politician, he will not be the nominee. There will be good conservative governors running in 2016 that will easily beat a first term Senator if he does not keep his independence from the Boehner-McConnell crowd. His position on immigration is not unreasonable if he does not cowtow to the leftist agenda and give in to a bad deal for the sake of ‘getting things done.’ I’ve said before, that issue will make or break him in presidential politics.
The two politicians mentioned in the title are both excellent men, IMHO.
It does our cause harm to attach an insulting title to any good GOP leader. It is a divisive tactic, and mirrors the behavior of Liberals and what they do to Republicans everyday. This is the stuff that leads to defeat of GOP candidates.
GOP - Grow up! I am sick of seeing people on this forum being petty and divisive. If you do not like what Rubio or Paul say at any given time, then argue your point with reason. Please DO NOT continue to put phony names which are only meant to demoralize our leaders.
Just my 2 cents worth. Thanks for allowing me to rant.
I’m pleased that Rubio is doing the response. He is very well-spoken and can state things clearly. That is a lost-art on our side. Which in today’s world, whether we like it or not, is a big part of winning.
Rubio’s seems to forget his folks came crossing a regulated border protecting the soverignty of the United states and still is. They came across to become citizens of the United States but do those illegally crossing through the Mexican border have the same intent ? Poll after poll suggest not.
When is the treatment of American citizens in Mexico and their rights vs US treatment of Mexicans going to be an issue when we discuss amnesty ? What makes it necessary for US to subjugate our sovereignty because of available cheap labor ?
Ever hear of reciprocal aggrements ? These are arranged to protect the rights of American citizens working or living in other countries.
Why is it when it comes to citizens of other countries we are required to offer them the same privledges as we do to US citizens? But when it comes to US citizens who get in trouble or attempt to do business in other countries they do not get the same treatment their citizens get.
Americans can’t own coast land in Mexico. And get no title to it elsewhere. If they run out of cash they’ll get unceremoniously sent back or put in jail untill some relative comes up with the “fresh”. That’s just for starters as for granting them voting privledges yea let’s give Mexican citizens that right when American citizens vote in their elections .
Reagan tried that on the promise that border would have integrity it never happened. It didn’t work remember ?
All....Does anybody remember what the Democrats did at their convention ??? First they eliminated any mention of the word GOD...and when they thought twice about doing that they reintroduced the resolution what happened ? They booed God....That resolution was rammed through just like the Affordable Health Care Act ...
Was that fact used in any of the material Rove’s RINOS spewed forth during the 2012 Romney or US senate races his group of GOPES (Government Ofthe People Elite Snobs) used on their hit list ? I like using that abbreviation because it rhymes with dopes.
Noooo ! They could have used that episode to point out how far to the left the democrat party has hyphenated into; Demo-Coms ...Instead well we don’t like Aikin at least he believes in something like the ten commandments. Including Thou shalt not steal and doesn’t believe that getting elected office doesn’t give you a license to do that. Which his opponent seems to have done rather well since being in office. The same thing with Mourdock.
These people I call them GOPES because it rhymes with dopes right now are falling into the same trap. Limbaugh and Levin, God bless them ...realize that what Limbaugh calls the LIV’s (low intelligence voters) actually believe that Obama is offering the proverbial “olive branch” to Republicans when actually he is proceeding on his path to complete socialism. AND THEY CAN’T CALL HIM A LIAR .
This administration came up with a policy on energy which had driven up the cost on everything. It was on the tongue of every black, white. yellow,and brown skined person living in the US....IT WENT UNTOUCHED in the 2012 campaign....WORSE YET IT IS STILL GOING UNCHALLANGED
Now the GOPES are buying into the “demographic” argument offered by the MSM. Here you have an issue staring at them straight in the face affecting every man,woman,and child of every skin color and you can’t bring it up and they talk about “demographics” being pushed by the socialist media .
They should be decrying the philosphy of “demographics” by stating they’re Americans first not Afro-Americans. not Hispanic-Americans and not-Asian-Americans, or “White”-Americans. The counter charge should be these are socialist tactics neing pushed by the hypenated Demo-coms. Democrats in socialist/fascist clothing. Let alone not mention the booing of God’s name during their convention then belittle those Republicans who express a religious conviction even to the point of suggesting that those that do shouldn’t run for political office.
I am of hispanic ancestry, and I do speak Spanish as a second language, as do many folks of all ethnicities in south Texas. There isn’t a liberal in my family that I know of-we wholeheartedly disapprove of illegals-and no, I don’t care if that is not PC...
I don’t have a problem with Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz or anyone else using Spanish or any other language in a speech, as long as they do it in English, too. George W. Bush spoke quite passable Spanish-the current occupant of the WH can’t even speak a second language at all...
I think both men are admirable supporters of smaller government that does not dispense health care, is not involved in the lives of private citizens, is not trying to take my guns from the cabinet, or in the doings of private businesses-I just pray they stay in charge of their own cojones over the long haul, and are not tempted by lobbyists or special interest groups with lots of money-we need to keep reminding them that we all vote, whatever our ethnic background is...
There may be some overlap but the Paulites are not the tea party.
I’m not convinced that Rand is a worthless pig but daddy Paul is, I just heard him dissing drone warfare.
Mind you I am no neocon, I left that foolishness in my youth, but Paul Sr. and others of his ilk like Justin Amash are called “Paulistinians” for good reason. Their’s is not a middle road it’s the same road as far left peacenik democrats.
As a rule Paultards are...tarded. Is Rand an exception?
!
I think Drudge has already picked his horse. No mention of Rand.
