Rubio’s Advice to Donald Trump: Drop The ‘Birther’ Issue
Daily Caller ^ | 04/08/2011 | Matt Lewis

Posted on 04/08/2011 10:17:55 AM PDT by Hawk720

During an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller on Thursday, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said businessman and potential 2012 GOP primary candidate Donald Trump deserves to be taken seriously as a legitimate candidate, noting that “Donald Trump comes to the race with some notoriety — people know who he is.”

But when it came to Trump’s questioning whether or not President Obama was born in the U.S., Rubio said: “I would suggest — if he asked for my opinion — not to focus so much on that issue. There are more important things facing our country. I believe Barack Obama was born in the United States of America …So why are we talking about this?”

Sorry Marco - I think it is important to know if we have a president who is in violation of our Constitution.

IMO, there is something seriously wrong and sinister with people not wanting the truth exposed. As Trump says, no one spends 2 million dollars hiding the truth.

Without the ‘birther’ issue, Trump would be a fifth place candidate.

If he is successful, he is a shoo-in.

There is no reason for Trump to take Rubio’s advice.

Without the birther issue, there would be a Trump Truth File on FR, and Donaldbots would be getting zotted left and right.

Mr. Rubio, with all due respect ... get bent.

There is a reason why Zero has spent $2 Million to hide this information, information that every American citizen must provide in order to get a passport, and travel internationally.

There is no conceiveable reason to hide this, let alone spend $2 Million trying to suppress. Things as elementry as his mothers Hospital bill for the delivery - are missing. There is no record of Zero’s mom going in for pre-natal care, no bill for the delivery .... nada.

I blame RINOs like Rubio, and gutless Political commentators (Hello, Rush) for be-littling those who are asking legitimate questions. Heck, Rush doesn’t have to support - but I do hold him as a “fool’s tool” in that he actively mocked those who were merely asking the question.

At least Trump has the Ballz to stand up - and ask the question with full sincerity. Something that Rush, Hannity, Beck and others have lacked the spine to do.

Damn this Marco Rubio guy is a totally worthless piece of crap on just about every issue and just needs to shut his pie hole and stop sniping at his own party.

Is he one of the leftwing infiltrators?

Trump on the birther issue is the most fun I’ve gotten out of Obozo yet.

Could someone please explain to me WHY THE HELL so-called “conservatives” don’t see any fault in the fact that we have no birth certificate, college records, health records, etc on this president? I couldn’t get a job if I refused to show my employer proof of citizenship/social security card or whatever else. This A**hole is the leader of the free world. We have a right to know who the hell he is.

This puzzles me beyond anything. I love Glenn Beck but I can’t figure out why the hell he nor anyone else like him dosen’t see a legitimate issue here. WTF?

"I believe Barack Obama was born in the United States of America …So why are we talking about this?”

But can you prove it, Rubio? If not, why shouldn't we be talking about?

Why hasn't the POTUS released his long form B/C, Rubio? Why won't he?

I’m not defending nor slamming Donald. But I think it’s quite telling that his polls numbers have taken off since he’s tackled this issue. It’s obvious Americans want answers regarding the Presidential birth certificate.

Rubio can go to HE^^.

Rubio isn’t eligible to be President, either.

Is he thinking about running himself in the future & he wants to door open for himself???
