It’s just as simple as that.

No need to elaborate any further, no need to read this article. Marco Rubio is a liar.

said Jason Hoyt, an Orlando tea party activist, summing up the discomfort many conservatives have with the Florida Republican senator. “He had four or five talking points, which sounded pretty good,”

I absolutely agree with you. Marco was accessed by the JBush machine early on, but rolled he was not. Contrasted with Cruz who ran with the Tea Party, and stays with the Tea Party, enduring shunning, lumps and bruises all the way.

A patriot should be rewarded. Besides we already have enough slick talkers, as Rubio certainly proves to be. He is working us over, again, on Obamacare. I’m not going there with him again. There is no time left for error. Not with Rubio.

So it’s not just policy (implementing a path to citizenship, increasing border security) that’s the problem. It’s trust.

Spin from the Miami Herald.

Rubio is the Ryan Leaf of the conservative movement.

Sounding to me (after being "educated on Liz Cheney's gay agenda support"), like Rubio is as conservative as Cheney!

Both are BIG eRepublicans!

Lie to me once, shame on you. Lie to me twice, shame on me!

Uh, Rubio wasn’t “rolled by Schumer,” he was merely “rolling” us!

The really sad part is that people who say they are conservative are still fooled by him. No one rolled him anywhere. He was always pro amnesty. He lied about it to get elected and he stabbed his supporters in the back to get the amnesty he really always wanted.

Don’t cry for him. Any damage done to him was self inflicted.

Let’s see ....an amnesty bill dreamed up by Ted Kennedy, with an assist from John McCain and Lindsey Graham is floated out there and Marco Rubio can get in the room fast enough to endorse it and claim it as his own. And now conservatives are suspicious of him. How odd!!!!

So are you a fan of amnesty or Rubio? Lots to love about Rubio:

• Rubio 2008: The Florida House Speaker whose chamber squashed state-based immigration reform. At the time, he said immigration was a federal responsibility.

• Rubio 2010: The upstart, long-shot candidate, who bested one-time Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, took a hard line on immigration and generally called a pathway to citizenship a mistaken “amnesty.”

• Rubio 2013A: A future White House hopeful who rode a wave of positive media coverage to become, in Time magazine’s words, the Republican savior after the party was drubbed nationally in the 2012 elections. The bipartisan bill he helped hammer out contains what many conservatives see as “amnesty.”

• Rubio 2013B: The establishment Republican who now barely talks immigration, unless he is asked about it during select interviews with friendly media or at little-advertised town hall-style meetings. Rubio wants to talk about his effort to defund Obamacare instead.
