1. Rubio creeps me out.

You just know that little prick is up to no good.

[JHB]

2. For a guy who talks up "the free market"...

...when has he lived in it?

College, law school, staffer, local pol, state pol, US senate...

By anybody's standard, he's a career politician.

3. I don't know anything about him, but I do do know about the

people who think he's great, and that creeps me out enough.

10. Rubio is the son of Cuban exiles who fled Castro's overtake

of the Cuban government. Most likely they were landowners in Cuba and had a lot to lose when Castro took over. The Cuban exiles were handed uber benefits and received unquestioned welfare from the US government. Of course the Cuban exiles goal remains to take back Cuba; in the meanwhile they have gained tremendous power in Florida and Rubio is one of the beneficiaries of US government support. In the eyes of some, Rubio is the scion of pre-Castro Cuban capitalism or, even worse, fascism.

[Enthusiast]

5. He's a Republican superstar.

They figure he can secure the Hispanic vote.

Up to no good? The ultimate "no good" would be dismantling the New Deal. This is what he advocates.

7. Oh, I know he's a rethuglican

superstar. That is one of the things creeping me out. He is being groomed. There is an ultra RW rethuglican creep, here in Orange County, being groomed to be the first Vietnamese/American governor of California. I recognize the pattern.

4. Who would you bet on? LOL.

Kudos to Bernie! :patriot: :hi:

This has gone silent since Rick Scott of course

Rubio, as former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives (R-Miami, 2006-2008)—as well as other state GOP lawmakers and party contributors– are currently the likely subjects of multiple wide-ranging state and federal investigations conducted by the FBI and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) into improper use of credit cards issued by the Republican Party of Florida, as well as tax evasion and improper budgetary appropriations.

One such set of appropriations/legislative actions reportedly being investigated by federal authorities are those which led to the development of the state’s largest private prison, the Blackwater River Correctional Facility (CF), which opened its gates for operation in November. The prison was designed and is operated by Florida-based Geo Group, the nation’s second largest private prison operator.

9. Marco Rubio? Where does he come off criticizing our American system???

Social Security has served Americans well for the better part of 100 years. Lord, how I hate these recent immigrant families like Marco Rubio and Rick Santorum who claim to be about "improving" America with their destructive fascist concepts. If you like Mussolini's Italy so much, or Castro's Cuba, GO BACK!!!!!
