Rubio was back — claiming he was opposed to Comprehensive Immigration. [To get elected in politics, one must be a shapeshifter, it seems.] Now, he can claim he has been on all sides of the immigration issue.


Not that it matters but I ALWAYS believed Rubio opposed it—I just couldn’t figure out why he was advocating something he opposed. I’m gonna chalk it up to youth and maybe some bad advice.

I ain’t crucifying Rubio in any case. He’s been with us more times than not. The time for being a purist is over. The situation is just too desperate at this point. I’m ready to plant the anti-Obamacare flag and sing Kumbaya with anyone who rallies around it.

He was temporarily under the spell of Schumer's hypnotic vampire eyes. When the sun rose, Schumer was forced to return to the crypt and the spell over Rubio was broken.

You can make all the excuses you want for Rubio, Ryan, Cantor, McCain, Graham, etc. Rubio showed his true colors on comprehensive immigration reform. He wants to run for President in 2016 and he needs the money from big donors to do that. These big donors want more guest workers to help their bottom line.

When Rubio partners with Schumer, Durban, McCain, and Graham, you have to question his judgment at the very least. I am not about to give Rubio a pass for helping to pass a bill that will destroy this country with the stroke of a pen.

CIR is a far greater threat to this country than Obamacare, which is already the law of the land. It will not be repealed, but it may be fixed and the Reps will help do that.

I was an early supporter or Rubio. Met him in person, listened to him speak,looking at a photo of us right now. I was more than sold. I was true believer. You can spin his take on secure the border first and maybe make a case.

What can not be spun is his joining in the gang of eight. These guys are just not conservatives. They are rinos all. Hard to spin that any way you look at it.
