Rubio vs. the RINOs
Human Events ^ | 9/30/09 | Elizabeth Meinecke

Posted on 09/30/2009 10:51:00 AM PDT by pissant

Don’t tell Marco Rubio his primary race for the U.S. senate against Florida Gov. Charlie Crist depends on money or endorsements. Rubio, who finished his term as Florida’s Speaker of the House in 2008, is focused on a much bigger picture: limiting government and thus liberating American entrepreneurship.

The impetus behind his campaign is that same wave of conservative outrage which carried Tea Party protesters to Washington and put Rubio’s race in the national spotlight. His race is about message (adherence to conservative principles), and, as Rubio says, the only amount of money he needs is the money to get that message out.

“I think all politics are about the grassroots. And the question is, do you work with the grassroots or manipulate the grassroots?” Rubio told HUMAN EVENTS in an exclusive interview last week. “Most campaigns try to manipulate the grassroots by raising so much money that they can kind of create false excitement…My campaign’s not based on that.”

Cornyn is a Big Government Republican who should be removed from office by his constituents at the earliest opportunity.

Rubio hits the nail on the head, again and again and again....

I hope he defeats Crist in the primary, and I think he will!

It would be a good idea to list all of the truly conservative candidates throughout the U.S. who are running for a variety of federal political offices in ‘09 and beyond along with links to their websites, and use it as a ping list with future news about any of such candidates on FR. This should also be done on the Falcon Party web page on a permanent basis.

Some co-ordination and organizing would be good.

Florida’s Independents might have to hold their noses, register Repub, and defeat Charlie RINO in the Primary.

The term “RINO” is overused but it sure fits Trojan Horse Charlie. He is more liberal than many dems in elected office. Wake up Florida!!!!

Marco is Cuban/American. Cubans and Cuban/Americans have worked very hard and DO NOT LIKE freeloaders! I doubt very much Marco would accept ammesty for ILLEGALS!

Again....Rubio is no conservative...he is very pro-illegal alien...and killed E-Verify in the Florida House

Only a fool or a liberal thinks that Rubio is some conservative savior. He is just a younger Mel Martinez

I’ve already set you straight on that before, but you can repeat yourself again if you want.

Jeez....Here we go again...

Marco Rubio is PRO-ILLEGAL ALIEN. While as Speaker of the Florida House...he killed the E-Verify bill by not letting it come the vote. E-Verify would have passed if not for Rubio

There is a reason why Rubio gets no support or funds....people who follow Florida politics know RUBIO IS PRO-ILLEGAL ALIEN. Real conservatives will not back Rubio...he si Mel Martinez-lite

People need to wake up here about Rubio....

You can dream and hope all you want about Rubio....but he is pro-illegal alien.

We in Florida know our politica a little better than those outside the state. There is a reason Rubio gets no support or funding. He is not a real conservative.

If the GOP wanted to reach out to Hispanics like they say they do, then why not support Rubio? Liberal Crist is as white-bread as one can get.
