Marco is absolutely great as a senator. He should replace Mitch McConnell as leader ASAP.
But it HAS TO BE SAID. Regardless of what any pundit or GOP promoter like Dick Morris thinks, Marco is NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN and should not be considered as VP material.
Marco was absolutely and provably a NATIVE BORN citizen, born in Miami in 1971....his parents, however, did not take the step of naturalization until 1974.
Marco, I think, knows this and that is one reason why he is so coy about higher office. Marco believes in the Constitution and our country’s established practices. And he knows that a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN IS A PERSON BORN IN THE USA OF TWO CITIZEN PARENTS.

It is not Rubio’s fault that his parents were tardy but what is, is.
If someone wants to start a movement to amend the Constitution, that’s fine and dandy. But the Constitution and the debates surrounding its enactment should be the authority, NOT politics or popularity.
He's one of the few who understands it. The deficit and all the other nuts and bolts problems we are trying to solve right now all come from the fact that we have created a monster in the federal government and it is devouring our lives as well as our fortunes.
Rubio is great and he has what Reagan had, which was more than just a grasp of the immediate problems, but an understanding of the fundamental philosophical problem. Then as now, the real problem was the direction in which the country was moving and the way it conflicted with the essential nature of America.
Government is God to the half of the nation that is now dependent upon it to supply the basic needs of food, housing, transportation and income. And as long as people with no skin in the game are free to keep voting for representatives that promise to redistribute the fruits of their productive neighbors then this situation will only worsen. Heck when folks are forced to pay for stranger's birth control and renovations to stranger's rental properties while not being able to afford to flood insurance on their own property it begs the question; when does half the country start standing on it's own two feet? Answer: only when they have to.
I'd say that people today...
are obsessed.
I mean, real drawn for security.
They want protection, coddling from the cradle to the grave.
I say that weakens the moral fiber.
Daniel Boone wasn't looking for unemployment insurance and old age pension. All he needed was his ax and his gun...
and a chance to hew a living out of the forest, with his own hands.
That’s the spirit that built this country.
That’s two taking on big government. That, along with Obama’s political terrorism, is what Sarah Palin took apart in her Indianola speech. Rush does a good job, too.
But his analysis was courageous and profound.
It seems rather mundane and obvious to me. What Republican politician doesn't say this?
While most of them at the same time are helping increase government's role in American life.
I mean, in the recent debate over the debt ceiling, Rubio supported a plan that would have raised it by $2.4 TRILLION dollars, which is pretty much where we ended up.
