for the f...ing nteenth time. Rubio is not a natural born citizen, he cannot run for president.

Give up. You are trying to talk sense to people who actively promoted an arch liberal as the GOP standard bearer and called anyone who disagreed ‘traitors to their country’.

In other words, the willfully ignorant (to put it nicely).

Rubio is absolutely eligible to be President.
You have absolutely no legal authority on your side, none at all.
It is crackpot foolishness to say that Rubio is not eligible.
He might not be your favorite, but he has as much right to run for President as anyone on Free Republic.
Rubio is a Natural Born Citizen, which means only that he was a citizen at the exact moment of his birth.
It is very ignorant to claim otherwise.

Right now, this is a one-party nation. The good old GOP, may they RIP! They will never get my support again. One month out of the election and they’re already jockeying for positions. The red state governors with balanced state budgets would be a good place to start putting together a base. Let’s get tough and not pay New York and California’s bills!

"he cannot run"

So what are you going to do in 2016 when he gets the nomination, and nobody lifts a finger to stop him?

Rubio is not a natural born citizen, he cannot run for president.

Neither is Obama,but look who has the job.

According to Wikipedia, Rubio was born in Miami.

Thanks for the info, I thought that was the case but just wasn't sure.

We won't get a Rubio like candidate anyway, we'll get yet another Dole/McCain/Romney. Notice they get progressively worse over the years? Although I can't imagine anyone worse than Romney.

[ilovesarah2012]

I bet you he can. Who’s going to stop him? No one stopped Obama. Why do you believe anyone will stop Rubio?

I like Rubio but will never vote for him as Pres or VP (since he could move to Pres and would likely be the next Rep to run for Pres) due to the natural born clause.

The fact that Obama also doesn’t meet the NBC clause and got away with it doesn’t alter my stance. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and Rubio is probably a prime reason the Reps haven’t pushed the NBC/Obama issue.

The irony is, I wouldn’t put it past the liberals to scream bloody murder about Rubio not meeting the NBC requirement - and sinking Rubio with it.
