Marco Rubio Says “Yay Romney!” – Says No to Brokered Convention
Mark America ^ | Wednesday March 28, 2012

Posted on 03/28/2012 9:19:12 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Marco Rubio endorsed Mitt Romney on Sean Hannity’s show a few minutes ago on FNC. Let me get this guy some pom-poms. I’m not interested in hearing anything more about Rubio as a Tea Party guy. He’s a Bushie. Those of you who have seen him as a Tea Party guy? I’ve got news for you: WRONGO. He was a Tea Party guy because he needed your votes to overcome Charlie Crist, not an altogether terrible outcome, but let’s not overdo this Tea Party narrative. It had also been people connected with Senator Rubio who pushed Florida’s primary forward and got out the vote for Mitt Romney in that state, with South Florida winning that state for Mitt Romney. Remember, it was Florida that caused the four early states(IA,NH,SC,UT) to move their primaries up to January.

This endorsement has been a fait accompli for some time, the only reason for its public unveiling is to afford some plausible deniability to the freshman Senator. The truth is that he’s part of the same old crowd that helped to make Florida Jeb Bush country, and still runs that state’s machine. I warned my readers some time ago that you can learn a good deal from an endorsement, and it’s usually about the endorser more than the recipient of that endorsement. This is no exception. Rubio rattled on about wanting to avoid a brokered convention.

Here’s the problem, Senator Rubio: Some of us want a brokered convention because we think Mitt Romney is a horrible candidate even when he chooses you as his running mate, as we’ve known since Florida that he will.

You’ll do nothing to improve that.

There are plenty of conservatives to replaces these chucks, and more conservatives can be brought on line. Plenty of Tea Party types, even Freepers, who can and will run for office and WIN, replacing these sellouts.

When Rubio chose to not acknowledge that he was not a natural born citizen eligible to the Office of the President, because his parent/s had not naturalized as U.S. citizens before his birth; you had your first clue that he was not a principled constitutionalist who could be trusted to represent true conservative rule of law.

A RINO does not respecct the Constitution, while a genuine constitutionalist does so and acknowledges the natural born citizen clause of the Constitution.

Rubio is buying into the “go along to get along” mantra! Can’t we find one decent conservative in the Republican party???
NOT voting for Romney! Can’t change my mind! I promised myself while voting for McCain that I would NEVER do that again...

After Drudge’s advertising fir Romney (Obama-lite), I’ve personally avoided Drudge.. (I’m not a fan of Google or their policies, but Google News seems more informative). But, of all days, I thought I’d give Drudge a look this morning... And there’s a huge pic of Rubio endorsing Romney. Oh me.

Worse than endorsing his benefactor Romney! There is a report that Rubio says he will consider being Romney’s VP!

After all the faked humility of ‘staying here to do my job’, blah blah blah, now he will consider being the VP despite all the questions about his constitutional elig to be the VP - he was NOT born to a USA citizen father hence not a nbc!
It sure looks like he wants to help obozo set the precedent of destroying article 2 once and for all!!!!!
OR
He believes he can defeat obozo with romney then they can expose obozo’s fraud and usurpation? NAH! Fat chance in h***!

Rubio is for himself!
We must bombard him with the question: are you a nbc elig to be the VP? If he does not bother to answer he is not elig ot be the VP!

On your mark, get set, go - bombard away!

Cannot let them get away with this again!

The left will have a field day calling us racists if we don’t challenge Rubio, a white guy, but challenge obozo, the ‘black’ guy, or,
they will keep quiet to help destroy article 2 forever!

Can’t believe that the left wins no matter what!

Why are we so helpless when it comes to framing the narrative?

I think it is actually the "win elections" mantra.
