Rubio since then has been a reliable conservative, burning a lot of bridges to the RINO globalist elitist backstabbing DC gang. Alexander dismissing Rubio is yet another sign that Rubio might be maturing into a reliable conservative. I hope so.
Rubio is sock puppet for illegal immigrants and a strong supporter of amnesty for illegal , undocumented individuals who are entering the United States without authorization.
imho Rubio is one of the obolas yes boys. So is Lindsey Graham but the diff here is Lindsey is a pansy.
As far as Rubio and Graham go I haven’t heard a peep
outta’ them regarding border security since that whole fiasco started coming into public view , i.e., when the
Border Patrol was having to start chaging diapers.
and as far as Harry Reid goes he needs to be locked for his financial wheeling & dealing- some of it has barely breached light .
In the end justice will triumph. It may not come tomorrow or within the timeline we wish but ultimately Reid will pay and he will pay hard time
“GoFundMe” for Lindsey Graham’s new leather pants & thigh boots”?>> nevermind
I hope he doesn’t forget his eye shadow like Shep Smith
great post & point well taken spot on
didn’t Jefferson say something to the effect of some of his most enjoyable moments in life was when he was standing around with this homies and re-loading ?
feel free to correct a myth or urban legend
I’m sure Reid is a brazen criminal, but my bigger concern by far is the low-skill, 20 million, ballooning to 60 million, illegal Democrat voters the Dems and GOPe are hellbent on making into Americans.
He’ll LOSE his home state primary..
We need a non-senator.
Senators are not good presidents.
Rubio has a long history of being on the side of illegals from the days when he was in the Florida legislature. He routinely opposed laws that addressed illegal aliens.
Don’t kid yourself that he didn’t know what he was doing when he joined the Gang of Eight and their push for amnesty. That’s the real Marco Rubio.
He's such a reliable conservative on everything else. I'm wondering if he didn't leave FL a little bit naïve, thinking what's good for FL is good for the rest of the nation. (not that I personally enjoy third-world FL anymore). He does seem to have a clear understanding now how the invasion of the US ties with lack of opportunity for US citizens and all the other issues that anger us.
I'm willing to give Rubio a bit of time and space to explain how he feels about the invasion of the US now.
Meanwhile, Perry is in a good position, the only one to actually do something to stand against the invasion of the US.

Sen. Marco Rubio blocked numerous immigration-enforcement bills when he served as speaker in the Florida House of Representatives from 2007 to 2009.
“Rubio blocked any efforts to deal with the problems of illegal immigration on the local or state level,” one former politician from South Florida, who has known Rubio since his city councilman days in West Miami, told The Daily Caller.
“He said it was because we had bigger things to deal with on the state level. Maybe that’s true. But he didn’t even let bills to the floor when they sailed through committees,” the politician, who declined to speak on the record, added.
Rubio’s record is relevant now because he’s presented himself as a moderate backer for the Democratic-led “Gang of Eight” immigration bill. Proponents of the bill argue that its extensive loosening of immigration laws (including a “pathway to citizenship” that Rubio in 2010 described as “basically code for amnesty”) will be balanced by tougher enforcement.
But the record shows that Rubio used his power in Florida to block popular immigration-enforcement bills prior to his election-trail conversion into an immigration-hawk.
In the 2010 race, he criticized one of his opponents, Gov. Charlie Crist, for backing the amnesty proposal developed by Sen. John McCain and Ted Kennedy in 2006 and 2007.
He would have voted for the McCain plan,” Rubio said. “I think that plan is wrong, and the reason I think it’s wrong is that if you grant amnesty … you will destroy any chance we will ever have of having a legal immigration system that works here in America,’ he said.
In 2007 and 2008, Rubio repeatedly kept tough reform bills from getting passed, despite a wave of public support for reforms.
Numerous enforcement proposals – ranging from bills requiring employers to check the status of workers to others mandating increased cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration agencies – were blocked by Rubio even though they cleared bipartisan committees.
The bills in Florida’s Legislature would have penalized farmers and government contractors caught hiring undocumented workers; placed stricter regulations on public benefits; and required local police to notify federal authorities after arresting illegal immigrants.
