It's certainly a novel way of getting into the political game, I'll give him that. And it really is fun to watch.
But I think Rubio's right on the money as regards what Trump needs to do to mount an actual candidacy.
I won't vote for a guy just because he says things about a birth certificate. I want to hear what he has to say about things like China, foreign policy, the debt and deficit, and all of the other serious problems that are all coming together at once.
Trump will do that. In fact, I would expect his China Policy to be the centerpiece of his campaign.
You're kidding, right? Why don't you just go read the article: Rubio names several.
Heard a Lib talking head telling Don he should drop this issue because it will hurt his chances for the Pub nomination. He seemed deeply worried that “the American people” would not view Don as a serious candidate.
LOL, and he said it with such conviction. As if Don’s political career was keeping him awake at night. yeah right..
If there was nothing to this, the RINOs/Libs/MSM would be encouraging him to talk about it and would not be desperately trying their very best to bury the story.
I hear Hannity and other quasi-conservative dim-wits go on and on about the great Conservative future of this Rubio fellow, but the more I learn about him, the less there is to like.
Rubio is showing his naivety. The Donald owns the birther issue now. He couldn’t drop it if he wanted to. Besides, it doesn’t seem to be hurting him any. People are tired of weenies who are too kowtowed by the media to tell the truth about what they believe. The Donald is asking the question a majority of Americans would like an answer to, and Barry can’t give it.
>> Does that sound crazy?<<
LOL, no it doesn’t. I’m having the same reaction to everything that’s going on. It’s like we are in warp speed.
It was the older lady who claimed O was Arab. There is a picture and write up on the following link. The fear in McCain’s eyes was telling. He couldn’t get the mike away from the lady fast enough.

I forget what it was now but there was something shortly after his election that led me to believe he is indeed a RINO. Since then I’ve watched him pretty closely and I’m just convinced he’s the Real McCoy when it comes to conservative, constitutionally sound beliefs.
I wish I could recall what it was that started me thinking this, maybe it will come to me.
Really SINator Rubio? Like what? What could possibly be more important than having an islamo-fascist, communist, unconstitutional usurper, who may also be foreign born, in the White House pretending to be C-i-C of the greatest fighting force in the history of the world? Do you not think that is important SINator Rubio?
One thing that may be of equal importance, that I can think of right off the top of my head, would be why not one in our 3 branches of government see a need to uphold their oath of office. You know...the one that says you will "defend the Constitution against ALL enemies FOREIGN and DOMESTIC."
You’ve got to understand that to minority politicians race trumps everything else, everything. Even truth, honestly, morals..............eveything. He is as wrong.
That’s hilarious.
No wonder McCain lost. He was obviously anti-Palin and pro-Obama.
McCain was one of Obama’s biggest supporters and his defender.
I think McCain is a Democrat/Liberal and he’s more than a little loopy.
“There is something behind this issue that sense cold chills down the yellow spines of many who we would have thought would investigate this issue till the end.”
Nixon White House special counsel Charles Colson got a prison sentence for obtaining one FBI file. Everyone seems to have forgotten that the Klintstones got raw background investigation files on over 900 people when they were polluting the White House. The consequences? The resignation of Craig Livingstone, director of the White House’s Office of Personnel Security (Totally unqualified former bar bouncer, ineligible for security clearance).
For those who may not be familiar with this kind of stuff, the FBI does a number of personal interviews and consults many databases when doing a BI or SBI. Along the way the agents may make a lot of notes. These notes might include such asides as, “What was he doing in a hotel room all night with that 8-year-old boy, and why did the boy never come out of the room?”
These things do not appear in the finished file that the FBI returns to the requesting agency. What Beelzebubba and the Hildebeeste obtained were not the finished files, but the raw files with all the agents’ notes and other materials.
Of course, we are all completely confident that all the illegally obtained materials were returned to the FBI or properly destroyed, and that no copies were retained for future use against Stupid Party politicians.
We are equally confident that, if copies had been retained, the Stupid Party would have been efficient and ruthless enough to locate and recover them.
Just saying.
It’s good that Rubio gives his meaning on this issue. Now we know whom NOT to vote for.
All you future candidates, speak up!
Where here ya go ... here is what he has to say about foreign policy, spending, jobs etc. Watch Vieira's face and how The Donald handles her.
But the question has more to do with how Trump presents himself, should he become an actual candidate: is he the candidate of Obama's birth certificate? No, he can't be if he wants to be taken seriously.
As dfwgator noted, it's a foot in the door; but it can't be all that he does.
Donald Trump is not a serious candidate, and will be ravaged by the Republicans if he so much as puts his foot in the water (toe is already wet). I actually think he would run from the Left though. The Republicans need to just shut their pie holes, and let the crescendo build. If they stay out of it and it is a “dry hole”, the lose nothing. If they stay out of it and it hits pay dirt, they gain by 0-zeros loss. I see nothing to gain for taking a stand either way. This tells me that they are afraid of what will be found, because they don’t have the cojones’ to do anything about it.
Brave Sir Rubio.
IMHO Glenn Beck is documenting the beginnings of the worldwide "Beast", showing how it is being built while the vast majority continue as if nothing is going on at all. The President of the US will be nothing, if what I think is happening is true. GB knows this, and ignores it to chase the truth as he sees it.
If you watch him every night like I do, have a working knowledge of scripture, and don't see what he is documenting......... All else is like sand on the beach. Dust in the wind. Grease in a skillet. Politics as normal.
Thanks a bunch. I’ll save that info so I can look at it closely when things slow down a bit.
Not sure if I want things to slow down a bit or not, but I have to slow down enough to sew a prom dress, plan my son’s confirmation celebration, and get Easter music planned and prepared for church so it’s gonna be a wild ride here the next few weeks. It’s a tough time to have this issue be so visible, when I would like to be increasing people’s awareness of the facts we have so far, as well as revise the birth announcement article I posted, based on new information.
Anyway, thanks for the help. =)
For some reason conservative pundits are really scared of this issue. Beck went overboard mocking, others simply wouldn’t talk about it. Rush danced around it once in a while but i never heard him say anything bad about people wanting to see the BC.
