PUKE ALERT!
“I just read Sen. Marco Rubio’s American Dreams: Restoring Economic Opportunity for Everyone, “
So this is like Dreams of My father’ but more pro-amnesty?
8. He is a RINO-annointed sell-out.
I don’t dislike him. I haven’t seen any evidence of toughness about him. And while he (usually) says the right things I haven’t seen any evidence of clarity of principle about him.
Without toughness, and without clarity of principle, it won’t take long for you to get lost in the gray. It happens to most of these guys and has already happened to Rubio a time or two.
Whatever fight is going on, I never see Rubio at the head of it or at the heart of it. He reminds me of most politicians, carefully positioning himself.
Could have easily been written by Krauthammer.
Rubio = amnesty whore
I have an agenda.
That agenda is to vote for Cruz as the last man standing.
I will continue to volunteer and send real money to the Cruz campaign because I don't intend to let the media or the GOP-E select the nominee this election.
So Cruz or lose. It's that simple.

Not interested.
How about, NO. Cruz or lose, plain and simple. If the GOP puts ANYONE but Cruz out front for 2016, they WILL lose. REAL CONSERVATIVES are sick and tired of being abused by their own.
for (i=0; i++; i<7) printf(”Rubio is not conservative”);
Dittos!
Same here - not interested. Bring on the next contestant.
I think if you look at the points listed by the author, almost all of them could apply to Cruz as well. In addition, Cruz has been CONSISTENT in his conservative policies and can articulate conservatism in-depth like no other candidate can. The rest just run back to their rehearsed talking points whenever they get a question they are uncomfortable answering.
This is why I think Rubio will ultimately have a hard time gaining traction. The GOPe and people like the author of this story will try to pump him up, but at the end of the day, it will be hard to justify going with him over Cruz when they have similar resumes and personal backgrounds and Cruz is much smarter and a much more reliable conservative.
Cruz is by far my favorite, but I have not ruled out voting for Walker or even Rubio if either ends up with the nomination.
The most important issue in the next election is the Supreme Court. Scalia and Kennedy both turn 80 next year. The next president will replace at least one of them and probably both. If Hillary replaces them then a far left-wing majority will be legislating from the bench for the next 30 years.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
On the other hand, if Jeb Bush gets the nomination then I am emigrating to Australia.
The GOP has done crap with Supreme Court nominations in the near past.
Don't expect miracles from them. It's inappropriate and childish to expect they will do better this time around.
Your concern is noted and completely discounted based on GOP history.
