I may not agree with this plan and all of the details, but Rubio is no RINO. Please, I am sick and tired of people who throw out the term RINO when they don’t agree with some one.

Susan Collins is a RINO, not Rubio.

Please.

He was a Tea Party favorite, but if he isn’t lurching more and more to the GOP-e than who isn’t?

Just more big-tent bull. Big tent always leads to the GOP-e taking over and conservatives/Tea Partiers get a few bones tossed to them every now and then.

See, Who is Cesar Conda?
So a former George Soros rag editor is now Rubio’s Chief of Staff.

Behind the scenes of Amnesty..

If Rubio supports amnesty, then he is certainly no conservative. If he is not a RINO then he is a left leaning Rep.

Conferring rights and privileges upon illegal aliens has a corrosive effect on the Rule of Law, the very foundation of our Republic. It is also a slap in the face to legal immigrants who have followed the rules and obeyed the laws. There are over four million intending immigrants waiting their turn overseas to enter the U.S. legally. They have completed all the paperwork, paid the required fees, and had the requisite background checks. Why should the illegal aliens be put at the head of the line and allowed to stay and work here? Where is Rubio's sense of fairness?

And the reality is that many of these self-selected immigrants couldn't even qualify for a tourist visa, let alone an immigrant visa. When you reward something, you get more of it. We had a "one-time" amnesty in 1986. The supporters at the time assured us that there would never be another one. 27 years later we are considering another one. Rubio is either very stupid or he thinks we are. Either way, he should not be considered as Presidential material. We don't need any more tokenism. We need competence.

“I may not agree with this plan and all of the details, but Rubio is no RINO. Please, I am sick and tired of people who throw out the term RINO when they don’t agree with some one.”

What would you call Rubio? A conservative??? Does a conservative hire one of the biggest amnesty pushers who worked for George Soros as his chief of staff and employ SPLC talking points to destroy his opposition to amnesty, INCLUDING Free Republic??

Rubio has always pushed favoring aliens.

The point that seems missed, is that our ‘conservative tea party’ elected legislators, like Rubio with the help of Grover Norquist [& Cesar Conda] is using SPLC talking points against us to pass amnesty!

[snip]At the heart of the attack is the accusation that the leading members of some groups critical of immigration policy were or still are environmentalists and liberals. This attack piggybacks on earlier work by the Southern Poverty Law Center that used some of the same information to accuse those groups of being tied to Neo-Nazi and White Supremacist groups. There’s something rather strange when “conservative sites” not only begin advocating for illegal alien amnesty, but begin repeating the claims that the Center for American Progress, Mother Jones and the Southern Poverty Law Center were making about anti-immigration groups 5-10 years ago. The same Norquist tactics being used to attack the anti-immigration movement can and will be used to attack the Counterjihadist camp.

Rubio lost any respect I had for him. Cruz is the only one in DC with spine, guts, and gonads, IMO.

If Ribio isn't a "Susan Collins," yet and I stress yet, it's only because he hasn't been in the Senate long enough!

Florida might just as well saved their time and dollars and elected Charlie Crist for that is what they now have in DC!

Rubio is merely a younger, livelier guy with more hair (barely) than Charlie Crist but it seems like he's about as much a GOPe as he could get.

The big guys in the RNC must have told Rubio that the nomination was his if he only can come out in front on a "few" issues that are pesky problems with the "conservative base" of the party, that need be settled.

Rubio, being the good "team player" that he desires to be, stepped up to run interference for McCain and Grahamnesty!
