HE 'BIG CON' BEGINS
To win in the 2010 Tea Party Wave, Rubio ran as the anti-amnesty candidate despite an aggressive pro-amnesty record. Politico reports:
"Arturo Vargas, the executive director for the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, said Rubio, the son of Cuban exiles born in Miami, blocked 'scorched-earth' legislation that sought to clamp down on illegal immigration. 'He, as speaker, kept many of those from coming up to a vote,' Vargas said. 'We were very proud of his work as speaker of the House.'
"In 2006, Rubio even voted for a bill that would have allowed the children of illegal immigrants to pay the same tuition rates at Florida colleges as residents. Vargas now says Rubio, the candidate, takes a more pointed, less nuanced tone as he stresses border enforcement and his opposition to amnesty. 'He's become your typical candidate in terms of playing to his primary election base...'"
Rubio used amnesty opposition to get elected before coming to Washington to push the biggest mass immigration / amnesty bill anyone had ever seen. He declared of Gov. Crist's position that "an earned path to citizenship is basically code for amnesty," and that illegals seeking citizenship should "return to their homeland," and that "if you grant amnesty as the governor proposes that we do, in any form, whether it's the back of the line or so forth, you will destroy any chance we will ever have of having a legal immigration system that works here in America."

BREAKING: Phyllis Schlafly Issues 15 PAGE 'Rubio Betrayal Memo' - Updated
Anyway...
When read, mendacity and duplicity are the biggest words that come to mind...
But yet we're told that Rubio is a full-throated conservative. Are these the things that true conservatives do? If so, then perhaps I don't understand what this new conservatism is.
When this photo came out it was a punch in the gut to me.
I don't have much to give but I did my best for Rubio.
I'm a lot more wary now.
Rubio appears to be a lying snake. Bush collapsed and the “establishment” is now trying to push Rubio.
Marco Rubio’s 6 Top Achievements in U.S. Senate
(1) The Rubio-Schumer Gang of Eight Bill
(2) Obamatrade.
(3) Blocking Curbs to Muslim Immigration
(4) Enabling His Corporate Backers to Replace Americans With Foreign Workers
(5) Blocking Food Stamp Reform
(6) Worst Attendance Record”
And people wonder why I’m no longer voting.
Yes, BUT... We can’t believe a word Phyllis Schlafly says or writes because she supports Donald J. Trump!
Hey! That’s a “full-throated conservative” I’ll have you know! Ask Rush Limbaugh!
then perhaps I don’t understand what this new conservatism is.
*******************************************
Abnadoning the rule of law and American sovereignty for cheap labor seems to be the overriding factor.
Be like Phyllis Schlafly. Vote for Trump. I will.
Quite a lot of stuff on Rubio.
Here’s this if you have the stomach

Are you serious? If Marco Rubio’s complete betrayal of the voters isn’t enough of a warning for you, then consider that your supporting a candidate that’s been registered as a Democrat from 2001 till 2009. Donald Trump will betray conservatives, he will be another deal maker on capitol hill, and he holds some very liberal positions on a lot of issues. You should be supporting Ted Cruz..someone who actually has a proven record of consistently supporting and defending conservative principles.
You weren't the only person who fell for his lies... lots of us believed him.
It is a collaboration.
Of all the prior posts, of which all were focused on Rubio, not one was a full bashing of another candidate...untill you showed up.
Congrats, you managed to turn another away from Cruz.
The Godmother of Conservatism stands strong — unlike Bobby Jindal. I expected better of him than endorsing a rino with amnesty proposals.>/p>
