Rubio insists he isn't being played by Schumer
Politico ^ | 6/16/13 10:38 AM EDT | JENNIFER EPSTEIN

Sen. Marco Rubio was dismissive Sunday of some conservatives' concerns that Democrats are taking advantage of him to help pass an immigration bill.

"Immigration reform is something that all Americans recognize has to be done," the Florida Republican said on ABC's "This Week," after being pressed on whether Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is "playing him," as commentator Ann Coulter has claimed.

"I don't focus a lot on public polling, but if you look at these public polls, it's clear the vast majority of Americans understand that what we have in place in this country is de facto amnesty, a broken legal immigration system that needs to be reformed," he said.

That came after Rubio had already offered an even more dismissive answer to host Jon Karl, who asked "Are you being played by the Democrats? Is Chuck Schumer playing you, is essentially the charge?"

Rubio's answer: "I don't -- I quite frankly, I don't even know what that means."

Rubio was also insistent that while some conservatives are opposed to the immigration bill, he agrees with them on "virtually every other issue."

Schumer is a socialist/communist/marxist. Not to be trusted under any circumstances..socialists/marxists/communists lie as a matter of policy...this man is an enemy of the people and must be outed for what he is...Mark Levin is very good at putting Shmucky Schumer (as Mark so lovingly refers to him) in his place...give a listen to Mark Levin’s talk radio show sometime, and gain an insight into leftist Schumer and others like him in politics.

So sorry...I misread one of your posts and am so angry at Rubio, I wasn’t reading or thinking straight. Forgive me.

Don't sweat it. Rubio has disappointed so many people who thought he was the real deal, and wasted both the time volunteered and money donated to this mole's* campaign. One commenter at the link put it best:

Rubio was also insistent that while some conservatives are opposed to the immigration bill, he agrees with them on "virtually every other issue."

Yes, but this is the nonnegotiable issue. This is the issue that matters. This is where you've decided to literally wage war on your own voters. Amnesty is the nonnegotiable because it is permanent. Almost all other issues can be changed back.

* Rubio isn't even a traitor - he's a mole, plain and simple.

The GOP faithful will eventually have to come to terms with the fact that Rubio isn't even a traitor - he's a mole, a Trojan horse inserted into the GOP to wreck the conservative movement.

I'm dam sick of vote-crazed politicians' mantra...."we have a broken immigration system."

Nonsense.....pure BS.

The REAL problem is a bunch of primitive savages have invaded our country and are sucking at the public teat 24/7.....they are a Fifth Column---pressure groups, loyal only to opportunistic Third World hellholes......"lying in wait."

Illegal votes will be exchanged for zillions in foreign aid.

Clearly, Rubio and The Gang of Eight are getting their marching orders from Third World hellholes and organized latino pressure groups inside the US.

OMINOUS SILENCE Conspiculously silent is the tax-funded Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Voto Latino, the numerous tax- funded Hispanic Federations, the tax-funded blood thirsty La Raza, as well as countless "latino legal rights" groups.

===========================================

"Citizenship" is the latino word for "pressure group." Citizenship and welfare benefits are a small part of amnesty---get ready for zillions in foreign aid and other federal handouts.

LYING IN WAIT FOR OUR TAX DOLLARS--- THESE IMPOVERISHED COUNTRIES CURRENTLY HAVE ORGANIZED PRESSURE GROUPS INSIDE THE US (here illegally): Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico (stateside)l Salvador, Spain, Uruguay, Venezuela.

==============================================

AS ONE EXAMPLE: Dominican Republic travel brochures reveal the Third World hellhole provides no safety nets for its impoverished populations. The DR depends on the billion dollars per year their illegal population collect in the US and send back home.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC STRANGLEHOLD ON US POLITICS--- It is an unconscionable travesty against representative democracy---to have the corrupt Dominican Republic meddling in our affairs---cooking the books to help Sen Booby Menendez (D-NJ) stay in power. Menendez is on-record using US govt authority to grease the skids for a billion dollar Dominican port- deal (that can facilitate drug cargo to the US).

Menendez also hired an illegal latino who was a registered sex offender to work in his DC office.

HOW DO YOU SAY QUID PRO QUO IN SPANISH? Clearly, a deal was made. IF (BIG IF) the Dominican Republic saves Menendez's degenerate a** (and prevents the dreaded Christie appointment), Obama will write the foreign aid check w/ plenty of zeros.

BOTTOM LINE Menendez has TWO governments protecting him---- Americans have not even one government looking after our interests.

The way that argument goes is that 'this is OUR last chance to fix it by getting a (this) bi-partision deal', so they repeat that over and over, broken...

He’s NOT being played. I hope people quit giving Rubio cover by saying he is, since he just denied it.

He’s not being played, he’s showing his true colors.

“Rubio is a fool to believe ANYTHING Sen. Schumer says. It’s all lies and anyone with any sense can see that.”

Rubio is NOT being “played.” He is showing his true colors.

Face up to it.

This isn't going to hurt. (It's gonna hurt)

You can trust me. ( you can't - honest people don't need to reassure you)

It's not the money... (it's the money)

These aren't the droids you're looking for (yes, they are)

I'm not being played by Schumer ... (he's being played by Schumer)

Rubio is a Benedict Arnold and needs to be replaced at the next Florida primary.

It’s time to write/fax/email/call our US Senators and Congressmen again - they are making another pull for amnesty & open borders!

Tell them to vote NO! on the immigration bill and that listed below is what we need to do ASAP to protect America and preserve her freedom from illegal aliens/criminals:

1) Secure our borders
2) Enforce existing law
3) Not allow any amnesty provisions of any kind
4) Improve our visa system
5) Prosecute and fine those businesses which knowingly employ illegal workers
6) Give law enforcement officials the necessary resources and authority to combat illegal immigration
7) Deport illegal aliens violating the law after being fingerprinted, photographed, charged with a felony, and placing their information in a national database.
8) Send a bill for deportation/prison costs to the embassy of the illegal immigrant’s national origin.
9) 2nd time and thereafter repeat offenses by illegal aliens should be sent to work prison camps for a maximum of 6 months.
10) Seize and liquidate all assets from illegal aliens and use the proceeds for our military and local law enforcement.
11) Must not give illegal immigrants government welfare benefits of any kind, including Social Security
12) Designate English as our national language
13) Change the 14th Amendment regarding birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants
14) Put pressure on the Mexican government and other nations to reduce illegal immigration to America.
15) Encourage only legal immigration and citizenship to for those wanting to become Americans.

These ENFORCED changes would strengthen America greatly.

if he believes anything Schumer or Reid says or if he thinks getting along with the white house POS is good for his future, he is too dumb to be considered for higher office. Frankly, he is too smart to believe any of the above because he is in sync with what they want to do. He is giving cover to Juan McCain and light in the loafers Graham to push this through. Anyone with two synapses that fire at the same time knows any amnesty bill is the worse thing, especially after Obamacare, that could happen in the US. We, the Patriots here, are doomed to a life of misery.

Did the NSA find out that Rubio was diddling someone other than his wife? Did they give the info to 0bama via Valerie Jarrett?

Hey, just a crazy conspiracy theory to explain Marco and Schumer swapping spit. Don't pay any attention to the man behind the keyboard...

And once amnesty and obamacare are up and operating, a very short life at that. my advice would be: Make peace with your Maker. 2. Prepare to meet Him. Because you are going to. It will either be on your knees begging your masters or on your feet as a free man or woman.
