Marco Rubio: In immigration reform, legalization comes first — ‘It is not conditional’

washington examiner ^ | 6-10-13 | byron york

[plain talk]

This is troubling on another level. Rubio did not need to do this. He could have easily said Security comes first, then legalization and hinged it on some phony measure that never gets implemented. It would have been easy for him to play the middle ground.

So what troubles me is the brazenness. He apparently wanted to stick it in our faces. The leftist dems and RINOs have less compunction these days to hide where they are coming from. That so-called leftist comfort level is what scares me. ObamaCare, legalization of illegals. What’s next?

Let's be even more clear. Any hopes Rubio ever had for being POTUS and gaining any future Conservative support or votes just flew out the window. The Gang Of Eight doesn't speak for me. They were a group of handpicked LIBERALS to push a Liberal agenda and nothing more. I am getting tired of the media using those clowns as the voice of the GOP though.

Te Party swept a lot of conservatives into government in 2010. The beltway establishment was able to hold off the Tea Party by using IRS dirty tricks in 2012, but that is a temporary solution at best. Establishment, led by large multinational corporations on one side and radical left-wing race agitators on the other, knows they have only a short time left to totally dilute the vote with uneducated Third World parasites in order to render any nascent conservative opposition impotent.

Then at this rate we had better do it soon before taking it to the streets is outlawed.

Straight from SuperMario's lips to everyone's ears.

He just keeps digging and digging his own grave, doesn't he!

Except now, it's gone beyond that. It's now just sticking it to us conservatives right in our faces....like Obama appointing his lying flunky Susan Rice to a high post.

Can anyone now say that Rubio is anything but the same old trash that has been dished up by the GOP ever since Reagan?

[Friendofgeorge]

I always quietly rolled my eyes when people spoke of Rubio as a rising star

[Carry_Okie]

Christie has gone so far down the rabbit hole, it’s hard to think of many Republicans who are worse.

I was referring to Charlie Crist, who was taken out by Rubio as the TEA Party alternative in the 2010 Florida Senate primary.

I think a few things are going on here.

1)This is an aggressive turd in the punch bowl trial balloon to measure push back to amnesty.

2) If the bill fails he has this statement on recond in Spanish for his future campaign ads.

3)Rubio is aggressively trying to shed his Tea Party label and is courting Obama voting Hispanics to replace conservatives in his power base.

It’s all driven by craven political calculations by Rubio. The man is no patriot, that is for sure.

I just checked Mark’s Facebook page. He’s posted the link himself.

Quite the contrary. He wanted to make hay with the Spanish-speaking audience...and sneak it by us.

That's not brazen, that's sly, sneaky and duplicitous.

With every action, Rubio's electoral stock is shrinking.

[alstewartfan]

What the hell has happened to this man to turn him into a La Raza-style traitor. He has NO IDEA how much he is despised right now. He and his fellow propagandist Paul Ryan!

[exit82]

Marco Rubio is the Hispanic version of Arnold Schwarzeneggar.

[re_nortex]

The man is no patriot, that is for sure.

I strongly disagree with that analysis. The reality is that Marco Rubio is a great, great, great patriot...

Rubio just lost what little credibility he had with me.

[navymom1]

I wonder if Rubio will get air time on Limbaugh tomorrow to “explain” his comment.

*******************************************************************
I’m getting a little sick of the air time that Limbaugh and Hannity (and others) are giving to this little weasel. I hope those paid advertisements have not bought them off. Pretty cheap price to sell out your principles.

[RobertClark]

F U Rubio!
F U McCain!
F U Paul!

[thestob]

If Limbaugh doesn’t come out tomorrow and denounce Rubio then it proves 100% beyond all shadow of a doubt that Limbaugh puts Republicans and that party above his country.

[VictoryGal]

Maybe that wasn’t water in that water bottle he chugged so thirstily.
