I don't understand why so many Freepers are enamored with Rubio. He is weak on going after the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists. He also supports the Dream Act.

Special Thanks to M. Bachmann for bringing this up.

Definitely provided a true test of the current players.

“I don’t understand why so many Freepers are enamored with Rubio”

Im a Floridian and a long time freeper. Rubio has always been a dumb dumb.

[Nifster]

Gomert and Bachmann were both signed on to a PRIVATE letter asking simply how she got a security clearance considering her family’s background (as would happen for any ordinary citizrn trying to get a clearance). McShady the traitor read the letter on the Senate floor and started hammering away at Michelle. Now Rubio..... A pox on all of the so called conservatives who would sell this country out. Good for Gomert and Bachmann ....we could use dozens more of the same

[Rocky]

Both he and Allen West have bad-mouthed the Tea Party. What is it with these supposed conservative politicians? Are they really so enamored with the Republican elites? It seems that with almost all politicians, it’s all about ME.

Reading the story it looks like he was at NPR and was answering to make a good impression on the liberal audience. May be a good way to endear himself to Romney, but not a good way to convince conservatives that he should be the VP pick. It’s sad that as far as conservatives have brought the GOP that we are scrambling for scraps at the table.

[Armando Guerra]

While I agree with Bachmann that there should be an investigation into the Muslim Brotherhood connections and think that Rubio is wrong, what he said and what Salon blares in their headlines are two different things.

From Salon: Rubio condemns Bachmann - Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Scott Brown joined John McCain in denouncing the congresswoman's Muslim witch hunt

What Rubio actually said: “I can tell you that I don’t share the feelings that are in that letter,” he continued, “And in fact, I’m very very careful and cautious about ever making accusations like that about anyone.”

He disagrees with her, I disagree with him. But, that hardly sounds like a condemnation of a Muslim witchhunt. Whenever I see any of these type articles coming out of the lame-stream press I usually want to read it myself and make my own conclusions.

[SERKIT]

Michelle has more cajones than Rubio. She will be/has been targeted by the GOP-e and will be aborted out of office. She has too much testosterone for the Olde Guard. It’s a shame.

[SeaHawkFan]

I don’t understand the infatuation with Rubio, either. If he wasn’t Hispanic, he’d be a run-of-the-mill politician who might be slightly conservative.

[boomop1]

He jumped the shark, for sure.

[bcsco]

Rubio has been nothing to me for some time. His immigration stance, now this, is more oriented toward outsiders than Americans. He’s toast to me.

[Blado]

There’s a very good reason why the Founders put the Natural Born Citizen requirement in the Constitution.

Rubio is exhibit A.

No wait, Obama is exhibit A. Rubio is exhibit B.

[GBA]

Now that Rubio has more fully outed himself, it's helpful to learn from the Rubio example and remember how easily so many will lock on to whomever says the right words and appropriately conservative sayings and grant them full trust and access.

This reeks of desperation. Better way: Trust, if you must, but verify! Always verify!

Sooner or later, you'll know who/what you're dealing with. Until then, follow the Constitution and the Founders' intent.

Bachmann makes the men around her look like pantywaists (save Colonel West and, hopefully, at least a few others...).

[traditional1]

Rubio ORIGINALLY was a Conservative, but has been bought and paid for by the Establishment Elite, if he is intending to move on up the "ladder".

So many Conservatives turn to the Dark Side, when the benefits are too great for THEM to resist....no Principles stand in the way of their power and ambition, which overtakes them.

We have only ourselves to blame in this, as the big-dollar media onslaught DESTROYS every Challenger (think Palin, Bachman, Cain, etc.)

[genxer]

two words...Alan West

[man_in_tx]

This is only another nail in his “I’m-a-true-Conservative” coffin. For months now, Rubio has been echoing the clueless McCain on his erroneous, Hillary-supporting foreign-policy statements with regard to Libya and now Syria.

McCain went after Bachmann, so “me-too” Rubio apparently felt inclined to distance himself from her on the Huma Abeid issue, as well — though, fortgunately, not in as an egregious manner of the odious McCain.

[Houghton M.]

Lessee. St. Sarah endorsed Jerk Hatch. RINO
Rubio kicked Michele when she’s down. RINO
John Roberts was too clever by half. RINO
Newt Gingrich played pattycake with Mittens RINO
Bobby Jindal’s not a NB Citizen and he’s a RINO to boot.

And then, horror of horrors,
God still hasn’t vaporized all these RINOs
So God’s a RINO too.

But FR has not sold its soul. FR harbors the only non-RINOs left on the face of the earth. We’ve vaporized every Conservative public figure on Earth and would have vaporized God if we thought we could get away with it.

So I guess FR needs to run for presydent.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Well there goes Rubio. If he does not understand that the MBH is trying infiltrate our government and succeeding then he is either dumb, in denial, or part of the problem

[Venturer]

Rubio eats dirt and barks at the moon.
