well he has here just today

Rubio could not take stand and actually said he is troubled by AZ bill
when I called him and others have his staff has been saying that they have a problem with the bill because they think police can stop anyone when ever they want so why not give them a call then and let them know that the bill does not let the cops do this

If this is the sign of things to come for a vote from my state then forget it.
1 786 953 6711

You call him and let me know if he has changed his mind on now drilling he has a problem and now immigration

I was like you this morning until I called and went to the source

many here are finding out more and more about Rubio and it is not looking good unless he takes a stand comes out with more of a conservative stance

I like Rubio, I’ve donated to him and I look forward to donating more in the future. He is a conservative.

Exactly, Rubio and his staff misunderstand what the AZ law does (because they had only read media accounts of it), which is why Rubio said that he was troubled by certain aspects of it. That does not mean that he isn’t opposed to amnesty or isn’t in favor of securing the border. Rubio is solid on immigration; he is merely misinformed on the AZ law.

So, you would rather lose the Florida Senate seat which we need in order to stop Obama from destroying this country then vote for a basically conservative candidate who is not quite as rabidly anti immigrant as you are. What is with you anti immigration people - can’t you think rationally?

Good Gawd people, get a grip! How long must we travel down this conservative witch-hunt? Now Rubio is relegated to “moderate” or “RINO” because of one statement? Sheesh, thank goodness I don’t make my living in the public spotlight.

Look, the AZ bill helps enforce the current immigration laws..we all know that. However, there is a perception (howbeit wrong) among certain people that the bill amounts to some type of racial profiling. Now we can sit here til we’re blue in the face and arguing the mertis of the bill, but if we fail to get the public to understand that this isn’t the 1950’s/60’s, this argument in is vain and the media will continue to control the issue to the masses.

Rubio is a good conservative guy. But like a lot of conservative candidates, he hasn’t a clue how to articulate this point out effectively. The people I keep trying to explain this bill to want to equate it to the police brutality acts of the 1950’s/60’s on African Americans. What’s more alarming is that people born in the 1980’s+ beyond the pre-civil rights era carry the same perception.
It’s a very very strong perception that can only be addressed through education and a lot of patience.

Maybe Rubio’s heritage has something to do with two-stepping around the bill. It shouldn’t, but don’t throw him under the bus just yet.

Rubio hasn’t read the bill. Neither have I. Have you?

Just from what I have seen the police in Arizona can arrest you if you don’t have proper identification.

Do you have your papers with you proving your a citizen?

How about I arrest you and ship your ass back to Africa?

Get the picture.

The cops in Arizona need to be careful how they enforce this or it’s going to start a war they can’t win.
