“Rubio is a solid conservative.”

In nearly all respects, I’m inclined to agree with you. However, if he was completely honest and inclined to adhere to the intent of the framers, he would admit that he’s ineligible according to that original intent as stated in the Constitution and affirmed in Minor vs Happersett. No. Divided. Loyalties.
If his parents had not taken the oath of citizenship, dissolving any lingering loyalties to another country by the time of his birth, then Rubio is not eligible, and he should state so. He would do the country a great service, thereby.

I voted for Sarah Palin in the 2008 election, not McLame.

I didn't know Sarah ran for president in 2008. Guess I should have penciled her in, too.

I understand your birther argument. That argument was never an issue until the Obama birthers were shown his birth certificate, then moved on to the "intention" of the framers...like the framers were to stupid to actually write in plain English their intentions in the Constitution, we now have to try to read their minds. The Constitution is what matters, and Rubio will be our next VP, thank God.
