U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio understood he was taking considerable risk by putting his name on the immigration reform bill currently being crafted by the so-called “Gang of Eight.”
He expected to alienate some conservatives, but did he anticipate Sarah Palin to be among them?
The former Republican governor of Alaska took to Twitter on Sunday to call Rubio out for his “flip-flop” on immigration reform.
Sarah Palin ✔ @SarahPalinUSA
Politicians wonder why we can't trust them? Campaign flip-flops like this and carve-out bribes in the Amnesty... http://fb.me/2IsL1uspC

As noted by Twitchy, Palin’s tweet links to a story from TownHall.com detailing Rubio’s “flip-flop” over amnesty for illegal immigrants, based on comments — see video below — he made while campaigning for his current seat:
"During a debate with opponents Rep. Kendrick Meek and Gov. Charlie Crist, candidate Rubio argued that giving illegal immigrants an “earned path to citizenship,” which Crist, Sen. John McCain and former President George W. Bush had advocated, is basically amnesty.
Rubio, who won that 2010 election, is now the leading Republican in the U.S. Congress pushing for illegal aliens to be given the earned path to citizenship that he himself insisted was “code for amnesty” only three years ago."(continued)

Ted Cruz has left rubio in the dust. Cruz is now the main voice of Conservatives? What say you ?
He is shunning the Tea Party voters who put him in Washington

exac LEEEEE
Rubio is finished with respect to any national aspirations.
You would think so, but look who got the nomination in 2012.
WOW TRUE DAT
I’ve been watching him on Fox and he is saying the right things. While Rubio says that with illegals paying taxes, the deficit should go down. However, Cruz says that wages will go down and unemployment will go up. That does not sound too good for the deficit. We will be up for a rough ride if this amnesty bill passes.
UP YOURS
Marco.
As a Floridian you will not be getting my vote again
Ya liar.
Palin/Cruz 2016 and 2020. Then Cruz can run for President in 2024. That’s the ticket!
