Must be a fan of Shelly Bachmann ... lol

Shouldn't be all that hard to figure out exactly when mom and dad came to the U. S. ... right?

Marco yet another shifty con?

Upon further review ... BUSTED, Marco...

http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2011/oct/21/marco-rubio/sen-marco-rubio-said-his-parents-came-america-foll/


Several times during his race for U.S. Senate, Rubio told reporters and voters his parents left Cuba in 1959, suggesting they had fled Castro's rule. In his campaign bio, and later in his official Senate biography, he said his parents "came to America following Fidel Castro's takeover."

Even after he stumbled over dates with a Miami Herald reporter and acknowledged his parents left before the revolution, his official Web bio stayed the same. After two news organizations reported his parents moved to the United States in 1956, his spokesman acknowledged that the bio was wrong.

I guess this shoots down his chances of being the GOP VP nominee. Another Tea Party hero bits the dust.

What Do Marco Rubio, Immigrants For Sale, And A Sh_t-Ton Of Cash Have In Common

http://front.moveon.org/what-do-marco-rubio-immigrants-for-sale-and-a-sh_t-ton-of-cash-have-in-common/

Rubio is accepting funds from private corporations who run private jails. The immigration laws in Alabama, Arizona and other states are being written by those same corporations. The taxpayers pay these corporations $200 per night. The laws are being written by these corporations to detain immigrants and increase the corporate till.

The usual geeks falling for garbage with Goren offering his usual routine of 'stumbling into untruths' yet again.

Simply, Rubio is not eligible to be POTUS, even Veep: In this unanimous decision, the Supreme Court defined a "native or natural-born citizen" as a person born in the US to parents who were citizens.

Interesting, Spiderman

Wasn't surprising to see Willard jump to Marco The Embellisher's defense since the amateur would be an ideal running mate ... a teabagger from a big southern state ... and probably not the sharpest knife in the drawer...

In case some of you have forgottten, Cuba in 1956 was not exactly a pleasant place to reside. A fella named Fulgencio Batista made sure of that.

Suggy is much like a one-man, MSNBC. He chooses to talk about and dwell on things, not a person with an IQ over 50 gives a shit about or that will matter in the grand scheme of things.

Like little kids, they are.

Only birthers buy into that. By the same logic Obama is ineligible because his father wasn't a citizen.

Just as Obama is eligible, so is Rubio. If he gets the nod though, its good to know that the loony birthers will have something new to keep them busy.

Clearly Rubio is eligible to be President. I'm a little confused by Spiderman's post.
Don't know if he misunderstood the ruling or if he was trying to make another point. If so, it went right over my head.
