Conservative icon Phyllis Shlafly said freshman Senator Marco Rubio should be disqualified from the presidential race for lying to conservatives in English and saying something entirely different on Spanish language television.
Marco Rubio told Univision host Jorge Ramos that Obama's amnesty could not be terminated because people were already benefiting from it.
Breitbart.com reported:
Phyllis Schlafly, architect of the modern conservative movement and tireless opponent of mass immigration, says GOP hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) should be disqualified from the race for dishonestly saying one thing about amnesty in English and another in Spanish.
"If Jeb's candidacy falters despite the $114 million he raised, the establishment's next choices, Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, have basically similar views," she wrote in her Monday World Net Daily column:
Kasich said the 12 million illegals should be "legalized once we find out who they are," and Rubio said Obama's executive amnesty "can't be terminated because there are already people benefiting from it."
Rubio's statement was made in Spanish on the Spanish-language network Univision, which is reason enough to eliminate him from serious consideration. When somebody is running for president of the United States, why should we have to get somebody to translate his remarks into English?
Why indeed? Bilingualism has corroded political discourse rather than strengthened it. Lying in a different language is a becoming bipartisan pastime. Democratic Rep. Luis Gutiérrez mocked Kathryn Steinle's death during a Spanish Telemundo interview, calling it a "little thing." Steinle was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien. Gutierrez exploded with rage when an expert immigration witness calmly called him out during a congressional hearing.

The one I recall that irked me is how he kept claiming that the amnesty trial period would exempt illegals who apply from getting government benefits, when they would still get the EITC and food stamps for their kids.
And how he said that the Senate amnesty bill was so tough on illegals that Obama will/would find it hard signing it.
Rubio was bald face lying about it.
And their exemption from Obama care means employers wouldn't have to pay the same fines for them as they do for their legal workers
Thanks for the update! We’ll see if the ABC moderators bring this up at the debate tomorrow night? If not, I’m certain Trump or Cruz will jump on this at some point!

I have been undergoing Rush Limbaugh withdrawal pains after 26 years of loyal listening. Rush’s moral compass broke along with his Apple battery life. Rush runs pro-Cruz PAC ads everyday on EIB while shamelessly defending (even distorting the truth) Cruz’s behavior that wounded Dr. Carson in Iowa.
I remember when Rush’s longtime sponsor, Shari’s Berries, dropped him like a hot rock when the leftist astroturfers condemned Rush over Flukegate. Rush said at the time, words to the effect of “never again can Shari’s advertise on EIB.” Well, Shari’s is baaaccckkk BIGGER than ever as Valentine’s Day approaches.
Money and politics - makes people do disgusting things. I am now quite happy to reclaim 15 hours each week to do more meaningful things. Rush RIP...
Know & love her but think her, like all of us desire more than anything to shut down our borders, once and for all. Both she and I desire to rid ourselves of the drugs, crime and anchor babies to support and return America to the problems without importing Third Workd economies and socialist government problems but Trumps not the guy to make that happen!
Much of the root of the economic problem is Illegals taking American jobs.
Rubio and Bush are Amnesty pimps, both say one thing in Spanish and vastly different thing in English.
Phyllis is an honest voice, at her age after telling the truth all her life she can be trusted. Wisdom she has makes her the Jewel of Republican Elders.
We need foreign press like the Guardian or Canadian press our Press is politicized. Our government makes up stats.
These facts are troubling
Noticed 9 of 10 times, 3 months later job gains are revised down.
I wish at least our finance magazines and newpapers like the WSJ or IBD would tackle the task of vetting the BLS numbers.
Or let have business schools like Wharton study the validity of the unemployment stats.
We all know when you cannot find a job and no longer can collect UE insurance your considered not in the workforce but not considered looking for work. So if your not working how do you live without money?
Maybe we should have a welfare roll additions number and an SSI additions number. People must be going for public assistance. This is not a rosy scenario for folks to be in, you can lose your house, savings, and car.
Look, he can support TRUMP all he wants, but don't pretend to be impartial.
Rush Limbaugh is flat out lying about Rubio...pretending he got enticed into the gang of 8. Rush KNOWS who owns Rubio, the same K ST. big money that owns RUSH, LEVIN, Beck, and likely Hannity. WE HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT. Rubio and Ryan were put in place for amnesty and bad trade like TPP!
The only person not owned by them is DONALD TRUMP!
If you don’t know who Cesar Conda is...you should NOT be voting!
MUST READ
Rubio’s deceptions

Right it’s Obama Policy for another 4 or 8 years. That’s who they are endorsing.
“Rubio is a terrible Manchurian candidate and Rush is either a naive dupe or he has gone over to the other side.”
Limbaugh knows exactly what he’s doing. Follow the $

“Didn’t you hear Trump promote “touchback amnestyâ€?”
NO one, NO ONE except Trump has the cajones to deport them! That means he is the ONLY one willing to follow the law! THE ONLY ONE! They’ll have to apply to get back in and wait to be vetted.
But....But....TRUMP!!!! is God's other son, not Don Imus. TRUMP was sent by God to build the WALL Almighty!!!!! There are little chihuahuas out there nipping at his divine heels complaining about nothing issues like the babies, marriage, a civilized and gentlemanly demeanor, taxes, regulations, envirowhackoism, his support for eminent domain to facilitate real estate developers like you know who, his payoffs to leftist icons like the Clintons and Rahm Emmanuel and so many, many other dictator wannabes, his having the Clintons as invited guests at his latest wedding. e promises to build THE WALL (all bow down and adore God's other son and THE WALL Almighty). The chihuahuas only care about all those total irrelevancies like the entire tapestry of the conservative movement! Those issues make the heads hurt of those afflicted by the TRUMPONIC!!!! Plague. Their minds are made up, dammit, and they want no criticism of God's other son.
No more dull, boring old candidates like Ted Cruz or even Rubio who carry 96% conservative voting records in the Senate or, Rand Paul or Ted Cruz who filibuster for principles. Principles are overrated anyhow compared to Ringling Brothers/Barnum & Bailey POTUS candidate TRUMP!!!! Why, the jugglers! The dancing bears! The lions and lion tamers! The elephants! Bring up TRUMP's!!!! philosophical ignorance and poverty and it is the Greatest Show on Earth!
Lose the Iowa caucuses and you get. On the evening of that day the one and only gracious statement of the Manhattan huckster's entire campaign. On the next day, the usual dog in a manger act that it was not TRUMP's manifest incompetence in trusting to the force of personality aided and abetted by the lame stream media to substitute for boring old methods like having a ground game, a get out the vote effort, and even ISSUE oriented advertising. No, No, he is The Donald, God's other son, and he is ENTITLED! Dadgummit! Cruz MUST have stolen those caucuses. The Donald was CHEATED! WAAAAAAAH! Another day or two goes by, The Donald is now in New Hampshire and says Cruz is again a good guy might even choose Cruz for VPOTUS and that Iowa stuff is behind him now and he is focusing on New Hampshire. Cue the dancing bears, elephants, jugglers, the bearded lady and all the rest.
It is sad to see a great woman like Phyllis Schlafly being misused to support this charlatan.
If that was a opus you are supposed to let us know. :-)
Long been a fan and close friend of one of her closest friends and fellow worker in the field, who shot me a quick note to let me know Schlafly had signed on to Trump.
Both ladies are no lightweights or pushovers but heading down a one way path that would be a dead end dud for all their zeal and admiration of the cause of locking down our porous borders, in my opinions.
To say it breaks my heart is a massive understatement but both have spent lifetimes between the two of them, fighting the good fight!
Ronald Reagan only comes around once in a lifetime, sadly for us all!
Have a great one.
“They’ll have to apply to get back in and wait to be vetted”
Prove it!
He just said “not criminals”.
30 seconds of vetting and 20 million right back.
Never mind that he has no concept of HOW to locate and deport.
It’s all hot air.
Nobody is going back....except “perhaps” some criminals....for a little while.
Rubio revealed his own con during a Spanish-language interview before the vote: “Let’s be clear,†Rubio said, “Nobody is talking about preventing the legalization. The legalization is going to happen. That means the following will happen: First comes the legalization. Then come the measures to secure the border.â€
Rubio voted against amendments to build a double-layer border fence and install a visa tracking system. He coordinated with Gang of Eight Senators to kill conservative amendments, while publicly pretending he wanted to ‘fix’ his cataclysmic bill.
“Prove it!”
Prove he isn’t! Don’t play your silly games with me. I have no reason to believe Trump won’t do as he says he will do. Neither do you! Unlike CruZ, he doesn’t have a record of lying like the lying lawyer he is.
Ya think maybe it's because they saw the error of their ways in succumbing to a bogus boycott called for by the leftists?
Rush runs pro-Cruz PAC ads everyday on EIB
No he doesn't, I listen every day and have never heard one. If you're hearing those ads then it's being aired by your local radio station, which Rush has no control over.
I am now quite happy to reclaim 15 hours each week to do more meaningful things. Rush RIP...
And all of us congratulate you in finally finding happiness in your life.........
