Marco Rubio's new mission: Win back the Republican Party’s base
The Hill ^ | Monday August 5, 2013

Sen. Marco Rubio's immigration push might have hurt his chances of winning the GOP presidential nomination, Republican lawmakers say. [WATCH VIDEO]

While it’s still a long way until 2016, a number of GOP lawmakers in the House and Senate say Rubio (R-Fla.) will have to repair his standing with the conservative base if he hopes to be his party's next candidate for president.

“There's terrible disappointment with Marco Rubio specifically,” says Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), an opponent of the Senate immigration bill that Rubio helped write and pass. “I don't think it's going to help him anywhere.”

Rubio has already shown his cards. He’s Obama with a side of guacamole.

To: Bigtigermike; All

Our tolerance for debt-based welfare to immigrants is equal to our tolerance for the debt that we are willing to pass onto our children and grandchildren.

Reduce our tolerance for debt-based Federal Programs, and our tolerance for immigration will also be reduced.

_____________

Our Southern Border is under the control of Mexican Drug Gangs. An illegal attempt by AG Holder to challenge their grip failed with Fast and Furious.

Obama has allowed INS officials to increase the number of “got-aways” and to decrease the number of illegal alien invaders actually caught.

Gullible News outlets, such as The Wall Street Journal routinely run articles quoting Obamanation statistics that numbers of captured illegal alien invaders are down, and thus there is no such thing as the surge of illegal alien invaders from Mexico and other Southern Hemisphere Socialist Countries.

Most News outlets refuse to come to our Southern Border to document their obviously false assertions.

Most State Politicians cower when our sorry NINE SUPREMES dictate that the State has no authority to protect itself from illegal alien invaders.

As long as THE NINE SUPREMES have 4 Socialist Judges, there will always be a high risk that some gullible Judge from the Majority will cross over to the dark side and continue the destruction of our US Constitution as the signature accomplishment of the US Welfare State. Traitor John Roberts’ support of Obama’care’ is the most horrific example.

Thus, it is incumbent upon those of us who still value the US Constitution to oppose the dark side, what we now call Obamanation.

________________________

The purpose of passing a Federal “reform” immigration bill this year is to allow illegal alien invaders from Mexico, and other Central and South American Socialist Countries, to vote for Socialist-Democrats and appeasing RINOs in the 2014 and 2016 USA National Elections for more debt-generating welfare to future illegal alien invaders to become future Socialist-Democrat voters.

These future Socialist-Democrat voters should be called “McCain-Rubio Democrats,” as no other Senators have done more to encourage gullible RINOs to appease and otherwise cave-in to debt-dependent Democrats than these two sorry RINO Senators.

Stand your ground, FReepers! Raise the Gadsden Battle Flag!

It is us against the gullible supporters of Obamanation!

For example:

While Rubio and his Eight Senate Gangsters put out political smoke and mirrors to “get a bill passed this year,” nothing they have said will change the basic problem of aliens illegally invading the USA.

The Basic Problem: Illegal aliens invade the USA for Welfare and Wages.

Solutions that address the Basic Problem:

1.) End the Anchor Baby Law.

2.) End the Hospital Emergency Room No Payment Law (EMTALA).

3.) End ANY other Welfare to Aliens.

4.) Fine US employers $1,000 per day per employee who is an alien.

5.) Spend NO money on “securing the border.” It is a bottomless money pit.

6.) Spend money on Chainlink/ Concertina wire desert prisons for the EXISTING Federal Law for a mandatory 6 month imprisonment for repeat offenders who have invaded our Country more than once.

7.) Transfer Border Invasion Enforcement to the US National Guard in each State, and thus under the control of the Governor of each State. The less Federal involvement, the better.

8.) Repeal all State and Federal Laws that prohibit voter officials and Police from requesting proof of US Citizenship for any reason what so ever.

9.) Be as hostile to all illegal alien invaders as we should be to all Federal politicians and Federal Judges who vote for or support another Ted Kennedy-style amnesty bill with no significant Federal enforcement.

Contact your local TEA Party, and plan to kick the sorry RINOs and even sorrier Democrats out of Congress in 2014!

It is all about the money FReepers, YOUR tax money.

Rubio thinks Hispanic illegal aliens should be the Republican base. No thanks.

Beware of Levin a voice is telling me, he rose to fame feeding talking points to Rush Limbaugh who called his DC source “F. Lee Levin.”

He (Levin)gave Rubio air time and I still remember Rush giving Arlen Specter several airtimes including one right before the 2004 primary election.

There’s a RINOstream media out there alongside the MSM.

Doesn’t really matter though. He’s toast.

Too late, Marco. The GOP left me ages ago. Stop capitulating and letting the left define the party. You and the GOP are dead to me, now. Not another cent to them.

“Going into it, he knew what the political risks were and that he was unlikely to benefit from it, especially in the short term, but he felt very strongly that the immigration system is broken, and he had to do something and worked hard to get a bill through the Senate that he and other Republicans could support,” Rubio spokesman Alex Conant told The Hill.

The Rube's a liar then.

The minute you side with McCain... (what really happened was Rubio was conned by McCain and his goober buddy Graham Cracker, and he fell for it, now he doesn’t know who the hell he is)... you have essentially sold out to the devil. But if you repent, sure we’ll forgive you, c’mon back in, just know that from now on, you gotta sit in the baby seat, and do as your told... oh and if another conservative beats you out of your seat, work for him or her and the rest of conservatism, and when you grow up, maybe, just maybe you’ll get another shot.

Rubio's betrayal aside, why is the only conversation as to who will run in 2016 centered around Senators, and first-time ones at that?

Haven't we learned that there was a REASON that people used to hold to the premise that Senators make LOUSY Presidents???
