Reagan, Palin, and everybody you have ever heard of have made an endorsement or at least a nice statement about folks you can’t stand.

Even a prostitute was given the honor by God of being the first person to see the Risen Christ. In that context, I will not shame Rubio for this.

Slap me with a wet fish.
We're trying to dethrone a Marxist psychopath and all we can do is argue about who's the most conservative?

People! Let's get some perspective here.

Marco Rubio did not tell a flat out lie. It’s called political rhetoric and grown ups can understand context. And, outside the world of Free Republic, where Marco spoke, Mitt is considered at least somewhat conservative. Compared to Charlie Crist, Mitt probably is conservative. Context context context.

Sorry, your context only exists for the last several months and even then Romney has had several issue position changes, changes I dare say Rubio was aware of if he is politically aware at all, and if he isn't he is woefully ignorant of a man he is calling conservative.

So objectively speaking, we are left with two choices where Marco is concerned:

Either he is:

1. Ignorant politically speaking
2. Lying.

Neither choice looks good on a so-called conservative politician.

“Even a prostitute was given the honor by God of being the first person to see the Risen Christ.”

A former prostitute. A repentant and forgiven -former- prostitute.

Just for the record.

Marco Rubio did not tell a flat out lie. It’s called political rhetoric and grown ups can ... etc., etc.

There's another kind of rhetoric: the condescending kind that casts one person as the "grown up" and the other -- Windflier, in this case -- as the child. I remember back in '07 and '08, Romney supporters to a tee called those who disagreed with them "childish" whereas of course, Romney's side represented the "grownups."

It's a crappy rhetorical tactic no matter which side is using it. Here's the deal, C. Edmund --

We're ALL grown-ups here. Talking down to those you disagree with doesn't make you "an adult." It only makes you a pill.

Good lord. That's as fraudulent a statement as any liberal has ever said to me.

May I remind you that words have meanings, and that even brain dead liberals realize that the word conservative has certain connotations, and stands for things that most adults recognize as being wholly apart from liberalism?

Political rhetoric? Try political mumbo-jumbo, also known as FLAT OUT LYING.

outside the world of Free Republic, where Marco spoke, Mitt is considered at least somewhat conservative. Compared to Charlie Crist, Mitt probably is conservative.

By who? Teenagers with iPods glued to their heads?

Mitt can't be considered a conservative even in comparison to Barack Hussein Obama, for crying out loud. Check their records, and you'll find almost no daylight between them. Just why in the hell do you think the Free Republic community and the ENTIRE patriotic right is so overwhelmingly determined to keep him from winning the Republican nomination?

Have you lost complete track of your senses, man???
