I trust Marco Rubio. I never trust MSNBC.
I don't even know you and I trust you more than Ms.NBC.
How well do you know Rubio and what else can you tell us about him?
During last's year Senate campaign, Maelstorm was one of the biggest cheerleaders for Illinois GOP establishment's sacrificial lamb choice against Dick Durbin. Maelstorm falsely depicted their guy Steve Sauerberg as solidly pro-life, pro-gun, and pro-family. In reality, Sauerberg said he was reluctant to overturn Roe v. Wade and admitted to the Daily Herald be believed abortion should be legal in "some circumstances" (refused to give specific examples throughout the campaign), admitted he was okay "some" types of gun bans (including supporting an assault weapons ban "if it was written right"); and hired a Bush-hating radical pro-gay marriage activist as his spokesman.
While you might be able to make the case that Sauerberg is not as liberal as Durbin, no one could honestly say with a straight face that Sauerberg was a "pro-life and pro-gun" candidate after studying his position. Maelstorm clearly misrepresented Sauerberg's views, and also falsely depicted him 'within striking distance of Durbin' (when it reality Sauerberg consistently polled behind Durbin by double-digits) in order to con freepers into throwing their money down the drain on a hopeless campaign.
Check Maelstorm's posting history if you don't believe me.
The freepers I would most like to hear is the FL freepers who OPPOSED Mel Martinez in the 2004 primary (which by the way, made up about 55% of FL Republican primary voters). I too, opposed Martinez five years ago, predicting he would be a "go-along-to-get-along" type, but we were outnumbered by the pro-Martinez crowd who insisted the guy would be a great conservative leader despite his history as a liberal trial lawyer, former Democrat, Bushbot, and GOP establishment choice.
Obviously in hindsight, we know the Floridians who had qualms about the GOP nominating Martinez were correct. I'm pinging those freepers, in the hopes they could share their insights on the current crop of U.S. Senate candidates in FL (ALL of the Republican candidates, not just Rubio and Crist), and their track records in office.
