Stand With Arizona
We've all seen it on TV. Endlessly.
Marco Rubio, in an ad from a fake-"conservative" organization, confidently insisting that his amnesty bill would provide the "toughest" border enforcement "in the history of the United States...possibly the world", as the narrator growls about "border security on steroids!"
Unless you have been living under a rock the past two months, you know full well the ad is a lie, and Rubio has utterly destroyed his own reputation with repeated, absurd lies about the 'Gang of Eight' bill.
Today, with his own vote Rubio officially made a liar of himself, and exposed the entire Gang of Eight fraud for all Americans to see.
The Senate voted down an amendment introduced by Sen. John Thune (R-SD) that would have prevented the administration from granting any illegal aliens legal status under the bill until at least 350 miles of double-tier fencing had been erected, and would withhold full citizenship rights until 700 total miles have been built.
The vote was 54-39 against, with Rubio, McCain, Flake, Graham, and a new problem RINO, Lisa Murkowski, voting against. Two vulnerable Democrats, David Pryor (D-AR) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) supported the measure.
Ironically, they defeated a relatively modest amendment which could have gone a long way towards bridging the gap between amnesty advocates and opponents. For example, this amendment would not have prevented the "path to citizenship" opposed by at least 70 House Republicans, nor prevented legalization of tens of millions of illegal aliens - which Stand With Arizona and a growing phalanx of activist groups oppose.
It would merely have delayed those steps, for a few years until the fence is built. And remember, this is already the law of the land. In 2006, Congress easily passed, and President Bush signed, the Secure Fence Act, which funded this construction - until the Pelosi House killed the funding in 2007. Even then-Sen. Barack Obama voted in favor of the border fence bill, as it passed the Senate overwhelmingly, 80 -19.
Yet the Amnesty-First crowd still voted down this reasonable amendment - proving they have absolutely no interest in securing the border, and proving yet again that the true "extremists" in this entire immigration debate is the 'Gang of Eight'.
So share this news with your friends who still believe Rubio's border lies.
And immediately call your Senator and demand that they vote against Harry Reid's upcoming - rushed - cloture vote in the coming week.
Call Toll-Free at (888) 978-3072 and tell your Senator to vote NO on S. 744.
Call me when the border looks like this:
>Marco the Rube” flushing HIMSELF down the commode.
Rubio shows that he is not so bright as we took him for when he was a candidate. He says very different things in Spanish to Spanish speaking groups than he tells us English speakers. He doesn’t think any conservatives can understand Spanish.
You are talking about the Partido Estupido, are you not?
They have no intention to secure the border, ever!
If he runs in 16 he will get some of the Spanish vote but fewer black votes than a Republican would normally get and far fewer conservative votes. He went from apparently an all around solid Conservative to being a leftist one-trick-pony between winning his election and taking his place in the Senate.
I really think now that Rubio was running under false colors from the start.
talk about the king(s) have no cloths. A US Mexico boarder fence is contrary to the formation of a North American Union.
Even a mangy redbone hound will cringe at the site of a rolled up newspaper, if properly motivated.
“you know full well the ad is a lie”
It’s more than a lie. It is an insult to law abiding citizens and is intended as a poke in the eye to conservatives by Zuckerberg. Ryan is smart enough to know this so the only excuse for him to join in the propaganda must be he is a true-believer in amnesty and swamping the country with tens of millions more third-worlders. Rubio either also knows the ads are lies and has a burning desire to destroy the country as we now know it or is too stupid to figure it out. Either option is not pretty.
I wouldn’t support either of these jerks for dogcatcher for what they’re trying to do to our country.
Why? It cannot be some goal of a borderless western hemisphere, economic zone or whatever. These guys won't lay it on the line for something as intangible as some economic theory. It certainly has nothing to do with compassion, if it did they'd no doubt prefer to demonstrate compassion to the people who's votes they will ask for in the next election.
So what is it?
So Rubio, the conservative boy wonder, just voted against a measly 350 miles of fencing along a 1,200 mile border.
Do you think this will finally break Hannity’s lip lock on Marco’s butt?
Thanks.
Rubio bought into the establishment RINO logic, which dictates that, even though Republicans got fewer Hispanic votes after the '86 amnesty, that they'll magically turn around and fall in love with Republicans if we do the same damn thing again.
It's Einstein's definition of insanity writ large.
Mandy, let him go. If he had honest core principles, he would never have strayed to begin with.
Marco cheated on us with that whore, the Democrats. There's no coming back from that, Mandy. It truly is over.
Same here, but it's not because I had any sort of special insight into the guy. From the very beginning, I just couldn't see what so many others were seeing in him.
I was frankly unimpressed, and thought that maybe I was missing something. It's hard to explain, but there's a certain quality to a genuine patriot that's unmistakeable. I know it when I see it. I just never got that from Rubio, and it turned me off to the guy.
Tune in Hannity tomorrow night to find out. Rubio is scheduled to appear...AGAIN!
Well, now that conservatives are in 99% agreement that Rubio has sold us out to the ruling class elites, this will be Hannity's big moment to either join him in his dive down the toilet, or to emerge with at least a few shreds of credibility left.
We'll see.
If I want to see the pro-amnesty position put forward honestly, I will watch Rachel Madcow on PMSNBC.
I have no stomach to watch two drama queens like Rubio and Hannity dishonestly make some incoherent and obfuscated argument for amnesty.
