Rubio has been all over the tube the past few days. I'm tired of looking at him. He's the current token minority boy-wonder for the Lame Stream Media....and he's wallowing in the attention.

He's as glib as O'Reilly on the amnesty issue. They both seem to think that amnesty is an absolute right for those up to age 30 "dragged here through no fault of their own" by their parents. Where is this "right" written except in their own fertile brains?

American citizenship for foreigners and their offspring is NOT a right granted by any one person/king or any one document/executive order....it's a privilege that includes meeting and conforming with certain legal criteria to obtain the right of citizenship.

BTW, anyone thinking Obama's fiat the other day is not amnesty should remember that the Left is content to impose one warm step at a time.....until it's too late to hop out of the boiling water.

Okay, Rubio's election year "DREAM act" legislation was irritiating enough (even though I knew he was doing it to pre-empt the Dems and had no plans of actually passing it), but now he's really starting to cross the line. What makes this even more damning is Rubio seems to have completely forgotten that statements like this are the EXACT reason why his immediate predecessor elected to that office(Mel Martinez) killed his political career. If Rubio is dumb enough to make the same kind of statements six years later, he certainly doesn't belong on a GOP ticket. (and my hunch is that Rubio is probably on Romney's list of top 5 veep choices)

One thing has become crystal clear after all this... Florida conservatives should run like hell in the opposite direction the next time some "rising Hispanic star" that Jeb Bush loves is being touted as the "true-conservative, tea-party patriot who is a terrific pro-life champion and son of Cuban immigrants yet anti-illegal immigration" They tried that twice in a row and immediately rushed out to endorse the guy and take him at his word without vetting him. Both times it backfired BIG TIME.

Had enough?
