From: http://www.TeaPartyExpress.org - U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio thanks the Tea Party Express for its endorsement of his campaign.
You've heard the news - RINO Charlie Crist has decided to drop out of the Republican primary for U.S. Senate and become an Independent. He is trying to split the vote in the November General Election and jeopardize conservative candidate Marco Rubio's chance to win this critical Senate seat.
Charlie Crist is a despicable example of all that's wrong in politics - shameless politicians putting their own selfish desires ahead of any principles or the good of this nation. It's time for us to destroy the political future of Charlie Crist by strongly backing his conservative Republican opponent, the great Marco Rubio.
We here at the Tea Party Express are organizing a massive fundraising drive in support of Marco Rubio's campaign.
Here's a video message Marco Rubio sent to all of you who support the Tea Party Express thanking you for your support:
We must take action now to support Marco Rubio and ensure the defeat of Charlie Crist and the liberal Democrat who is also running in this race.
Mark at 304
Pingin’
Marco Rubio is pandering hispanic open border RINO. Slightly better than Crist. Get real. IMO, The Tea Party should pull their endorsemant.
Oh wow, could you post some links?
I hope enough Floridians understand what is at stake here.
great Vid, thanks for posting
You’re welcome Ginger. Thanks for the comment!
Yup. Crist is a horrible stinking RINO/Dem but Rubio is against the AZ law and is another RINO like Jeb Bush and Mel Martinez.
The “Tea Party” should NOT be endorsing any candidates. IF it does it looks like a dog sh*t outfit supporting the RINO FL GOP which is infested with open-border RINOs like Jeb Bush.
but wont take a stand on illegals
Baby steps for sure..but it took the Dems one hundred years to get us this far left. If we are good at this, we might see freedom again before we are dead.
Form your own opinion....
That's good
I’ve met Rubio and I’ve heard him define what he was talking about on Hannity. He’s no RINO.
I’ve heard Rubio during interviews on the local radio long before this race.
He is no RINO.
His position as I understand it is that the immigration issue is a Federal issue, and the best course of action should be taken at that level, but he understands why Arizona is doing what they are doing.
“Ive heard him define what he was talking about on Hannity. Hes no RINO.”
I tend to agree. I gave to his campaign early on (even though I’m in TX) and was really mad when I heard his initial remarks about the AZ law. I called his campaign office on Thursday and gave them an earful. The guy went on to say that Rubio was totally against amnesty, etc etc and directed me to a FL radio interview he had done that morning. It cleared up a lot for me. Living in the barrio formerly known as Houston, illegals are a hot button with me. I’ll take Rubio any day over the real RINOS here - Cornyn and KBH.
Makes Rubio look just fine.
Oh, and dalebert he certainly does take a stand on illegals
He is against illegal immigration
You guys should know that spin like that doesn't work here
Your comments describe his take on the situation quite well
Syncro,
I have a Rubio sticker on the rear window of my truck here in Florida.
It is there because Crist is a pathetic panderer with NO real stand of his own.
BUT.
Rubio is an amnesty supporter and that really bothers me..
Well you’re going to LOSE that endorsement along with the friggin’ race if you keep attacking Arizona, stupid! 70% of the American people are in FAVOR of rounding up illegals and throwing them out of the country. Why are you so intent upon attacking them, Marco??!! Have you become the newest Steele-bot, or what?
I initially had that same concern about Rubio, and I posted my concerns on his Facebook page.
I’ve listened to Rubio on two separate occasions since he said he had some problems with the law and and I don’t think he is pandering to illegals or Hispanics.
If I thought he was truly a RINO I’d be the first and the loudest to call him out.
I think he truly has a problem with the federal government not doing its job, no more no less. He’s also said he doesn’t think the Arizona law will be effective. Maybe he’s right. Ideally you would have a federal law and a federal government what would enforce that law in all states, not just one. So in that way, through no fault of the state of Arizona, the Arizona law is only a partial solution for what is ultimately a federal responsibility.
He’s also said that Arizona has every right to take measures needed to defend themselves and to act in the face of the federal governments deliberate inaction on the issue.
I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and accept that he has problems with the shortcomings of the whole situation in which the Arizona law was passed, rather than jump to the conclusion that he’s a panderer or is caving to libs. If he’s truly a RINO or a closet Lindsey Graham, we’ll know that soon enough.
