Republican Mitt Romney said on Tuesday his White House campaign was vetting U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida as a potential vice presidential pick, denying a report that Rubio was not being seriously considered as his running mate. "The story was entirely false, Marco Rubio is being thoroughly vetted as part of our process," Romney told reporters outside an ice cream shop in Holland, Michigan, as he wrapped up a five-day, six-state bus tour of battleground states. It was the first time Romney has publicly acknowledged exploring the background of a potential Republican vice presidential

Good, then when we make a big splash about it, the press can’t say we’re racist any more. They believe that line so much that our response will take them by surprise. But in the end, they’ll still call us racists for calling attention to Obama’s non-NBC status.

If the GOP or Rubio will violate our Constitution for the sake “of the children”, I will become an Independent, anti Republican as well as Democrats, and remain an American. My kids will have no future in this country.

The NBC rule ended with Obama's confirmation. Until Obama's impeached for his own citizenship status the new way is the precedence that has been set.

I suspect you are one of those so-called "Birthers". I prefer to call them "Constitutionalists". I agree with what you say about Rubio but the NBC rule went out the window the day Obama moved into the WH.

The folks at MSNBC will never let Rubio be considered for the post — they will be ALL OVER that whole natural born citizens thing. (It’s in the Constitution, you know — just ask Chris Matthews.)

Sorry dude, I’m as anti-illegal immigration as you can get, and I support Rubio. You are throwing up dust against the wind if you think you’re going to get any one else better on the conservative side to support anything differently than what Rubio has on the table.

Marco Rubio

born May 28, 1971 in Miami, FL (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Mario Rubio born in Cuba, naturalized Nov. 5, 1975.
Oria Garcia born in Cuba, naturalized Nov. 5, 1975.

Parents were NOT US Citizens at the time of his birth (Does NOT meet the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Marco Rubio is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Marco's status is the same as that of Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama, who is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

8 years of the Bush con job sham was enough to last me a life time. Not doing that again.

It's clear, the neocons/biggov insiders own the GOP.
