That, was AWESOME. He needs to be in charge. Senate, House, Executive Branch, I don’t care which.

and no teleprompters...

God bless the tea party for backing this man.
Marco Rubio, Allen West, Starr Parker, Project 21- the GOP should be carrying these brave Americans around on their shoulders but are missing the boat...
Is that supposed to be profound or something?
Allen West is already nothing more than a foot soldier for the political establishment.
Nobody in DC wants to correlate the rising debt ceiling with declining jobs.
The rising debt ceiling has two consequences....
more regulation ...
to occupy employees in expanding federal bureaucracies...which expand because they have more money and another layer of bureaucrats need their 20 year promotions... Each round of regulatory expansion is the effective equivalent of another targeted tax increase on the object of the regulation.
more taxes...
The rising debt ceiling has demands and expectations of creditors for new elements of revenue raising by the Feds...taxes or fees.
In this strangling environment job creation is simply NOT possible.
In fact the only logical conclusion..can be ..is that the Federal apparatus -initially an asset to the United States..by virtue of its abilities to raise an effective Navy in the late 1700s, and early 1800s to facilitate overseas trade on behalf of the States, has become nothing other than the States greatest liability at this point in time. In the absence of profound regulatory and taxation reform-which is not capable of coming from the same minds that created the problem..we may well be at the end of the line.
For DC to face this fact...means the end of the K St-Congressional Party cycle in DC-the one that keeps repeating 2.4Trillion as their mantra.
IMHO...the only solution is a 50 state secession from DC at this point...with a completely new “Constitutional Re-Federalization”...
Kerry is a slimey SOB. Rubio really lays it all out here. He supports solutions. Kerry supports showboating.
Wow! This young man is going places!!!
I for one, would be proud to cast my vote, down the road, for Sen. Rubio as POTUS. He get’s it and I hope and pray that he isn’t corrupted by DC, as the years progress.
The sad thing is that 99.9999% of the American people will never either see this nor even hear of it.
In early June of 2009, the Florida Republican 4th district 2010 campaign kickoff meeting was held in Lake City. From what I had learned of Marco Rubio at the time it was essential that I attend that meeting because he, and other, candidates for all sorts of offices were going to speak at this event.
What I saw and heard in person that day is exactly what Americans all over this land are seeing now. I was one of the earliest supporters and gave what little extra I had each month to his campaign and then watched as, with the support of the early Tea Party groups, he progressively vaulted the establishment choice of Charlie Crist.
Marco is the model of legislators we need to send to government no matter the party, be it federal, state or local.
He is very, very good on his feet. Virtually Rush like.
Rubio reminds me of Patrick Henry, especially in his closing remarks. He sees clearly what is at stake - this country. And as in 1775, we are at the critical crossroad.
He’d win 45 states if he ran today.
I’ve never seen the whole package come from the republican side of the aisle in my life.
(He has youth over Reagan)
He is goose bump good.
The word compromise brought America here to the point of the current debt. Most in Congress and most of the past Presidents believed and believe in the present, Freedom comes from being in debt. Former President Reagan tried to stop this insanity and what did Congress do? Compromise. Raise the Debt Ceiling. Lie.
I wish Former President Reagan was here to tell all these clowns in government, and the clowns in the media to take off their makeup and stop the lies. Freedom never comes from being in debt. Slavery comes from being in debt.
Or Rubio could have responded in a more blunt fashion with a return question: "So you're telling me, Sen. Kerry, that Sen. Reid's and Sen Obama's votes were nothing but political posturing - LIES, essentially?"
