Seems that Rubio is another closeted gay basher open to be wired like a puppet on a string. Certainly. he is not my Flava to be on the Senate Intelligence Committee or a candidate for the Presidency. Of course, all we had to choose in the first place was a Republican trail mix of fruits and nuts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-47714828353355024042016-02-02T12:06:30.239-05:002016-02-02T12:06:30.239-05:00http://freedomsback.com/pat-buchanan/is-a-new-era-...http://freedomsback.com/pat-buchanan/is-a-new-era-upon-us/ What is said here of the National Republicans seems to apply also to the Indiana versions of Republicans.

And I do believe that M Kelly drank the Kool Aid is now little more than bimbo on a track purely for personal glory and ratings.<br /><br />When Trump started trash talking others from a left liberal POV is when the guy totally lost me.<br /><br />And yes, that Sanders made such a huge advance and came within millimeters of defeating Hillary Clinton, perhaps one of the greatest liars in American history, says just how damn lousy a national candidate the old lady really is.

The establishment made their choices about a year ago it would be Bush vs $hillary. <br /> The "pundits" read establishment McMega-Media have been ignoring, ridiculing and engaged in thinly disguised condescension of the Sanders Campaign from the get go. The $hillary faction in the McMega-Media and the Establishment Wall Street Democrats are going to go into high gear to do what they can to downplay Sanders remarkable showing in Iowa. The $hillary campaign will need to activate their surrogates to make their attack dog statements that the McMega-Media will be all to willing to air. <br /> I just wonder when Bush will throw in the towel?? Right now his campaign is like a junk bond. <br /> Floggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383015097067413086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-30853990432126764272016-02-02T09:45:20.963-05:002016-02-02T09:45:20.963-05:00Since I know that Trump got an advance copy of Ann...Since I know that Trump got an advance copy of Ann Coulter's Adios, America, her book exposing the media cover up and lies concerning illegal immigration and who was in favor of it, it explains her support of Trump. On his part, after vetting her findings, and seeing the force of her conclusions, he decided to enter the lists with the main purpose of destroying the Republicans who had signed on to the ChamberPot of Commerce position of Amnesty and unrestricted entry. From the beginning he took on Jeb Bush and beat him up over this one issue and he beat up Rubio as well over this same issue and Rubio's laying down with dogs and picking up fleas. Not saying that Trump is a single issue guy but the club he has used with success has saved us from another Bush (Wilsonian idealism mixed with Progressivism and Neo Conservatism posing as intellect). It is clear to me that the same club would be used to beat up on the bag lady who used to wear pant suits but has now moved on to tent suits. As for Rubio, no program, no core values, a JFK like eye candy for the distaffs. He argues well, thinks fast, too fast because principles held are meant to be barriers to instant gratification. His batting average isn't high enough for this current game but he could just admit error and has plenty of time to regroup for another cycle or two. <br /> I don't think Trump would serve a full term....part of his ego is to demonstrate his difference. He would go in with the idea of fixing major problems (see Mitch) and then getting back to golf and estate planning. So, his VP choice becomes a very great interest instead of being an afterthought.

It's not a binary choice. Moreover, it occurred 15 years before his birth!<br /><br />And, again, I think there are enough policy reasons to argue against Rubio such that one need not even touch the Barrios story.LamLawIndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039906566586150323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-57633704929871187302016-02-02T08:19:53.519-05:002016-02-02T08:19:53.519-05:00That was actually his brother-in-law who he helped...That was actually his brother-in-law who he helped get the real estate license, the one who was convicted for his role in a major cocaine trafficking ring in South Florida.

A part of any vetting process should include verifying a candidate's family narrative when they make it such a big part of their campaign. If his family came here to work for organized crime instead of fleeing Castro, that makes a big difference to a lot of people. Rubio himself tied himself to Angel Barrios--got arrested with him under seedy circumstances and roomed with him in college. He used his clout years later to help Barrios secure a realtor's license. This is the same guy that infuriated a residential neighborhood when he allowed a home he owned in a nice Miami neighborhood to be used to house multiple gay porn actors to live stream and produce gay pornography. Rubio also made the foam party incident a story of speculation when people figured out that the only foam parties he could have been attending in South Beach in 1995 were taking place at gay night clubs. He's staked out a socially conservative position on issues that's going to make anything in his private life contrary to his public views fair game. Gary R.

THAT is your big story. Could it mean she is a weak candidate with little overall appeal whose only, ONLY, reason to be elected POTUS is that she is female and that is just not enough "cred" for thinking voters? No doubt in my mind that the Clinton Political Machine will pull out ever dirty political trick in the book to elect her.<br /><br />This rush away from the political establishment is locally reflected in the wholesale grass roots stampede from the Marion County GOP and the MCRCC- and perhaps Jeff Cardwell's State GOP. RINO's wannabe-kingmakers like Jennifer Ping perched as a front gal for the actual muscled political power brokers and her south side comrade Spear may have a victory or two with a chess piece candidate but overall- a tough sell for Marion County voters now on to the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-42365043861007255582016-02-02T07:17:59.536-05:002016-02-02T07:17:59.536-05:00C'mon, Gary...had the Madsen account been subs...C'mon, Gary...had the Madsen account been substantiated by hard evidence, affidavits, etc., then Charlie Christ would've used it in 2010 to bludgeon Rubio.<br /><br />Additionally, the Madsen piece seems to argue that there was no reason to leave Cuba in 1956 because Batista was in charge, but Castro's guerillas began large-scale recruitment in 1952 & combat operations in 1953. It's not unreasonable for prescient Cubans to have left in 1956 given the armed conflict: if I see black smoke in the building, I'm not waiting until I feel heat and see flames to leave.<br /><br />Finally, what does it matter if Rubio's parents worked for Meyer Lansky in Vegas? If a candidate's parental lineage somehow affects performance in office, I've yet to see the proof thereof.<br /><br />There are solid policy reasons to argue against Rubio without resorting to inuendo.LamLawIndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039906566586150323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-88698069416667804842016-02-02T07:11:44.076-05:002016-02-02T07:11:44.076-05:00Isn't Bernie Jewish?
