Re: Marco Rubio 2016

I don't always agree with Peggy Noonan, but she put into words what was bothering me about Rubio's speech.

He laid out his "Rubio Doctrine" - 3 Pillars:
You can read his exact wording on all 3 pillars here:

http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/20...licy-doctrine/

I just want to address the third pillar:

"And the third is our foreign policy should always be built on our values as a nation. We support freedom. We support nations and people who aspire to democracy. We support human rights and the respect to human rights."

In his speech at the Council of Foreign Relations he says, "The American people hear their cries, see their suffering . . . and desire their freedom.”

I wanted to know more about what he planned to do with that statement, and then Peggy brings that up in her article.

Quote:
In question-and-answer following the speech, moderator Charlie Rose quickly cut to the chase. “Should we be the world’s policeman?” Mr. Rubio: “I don’t think that’s necessarily the role that I would advocate.” He then pedaled back to the importance of diplomatic leadership.
http://www.wsj.com/articles/marco-ru...lar-1431645831
In my previous post, I quoted a statement someone had made, which still remains spot on today:

"He is comfortable answering questions on the subjects, but, so far, he's been largely non committal on some of the specifics."

Re: Marco Rubio 2016

Marco Rubio is the GOP version of Obama. A career politician with no private sector experience. Unless someone can correct me.

Re: Marco Rubio 2016

Senator Marco Rubio cast the deciding vote for Obamatrade on Tuesday as it squeeked through the U.S. Senate 60-37, and his Senate office is still outright refusing to answer whether he even knew what he was voting on.

Not surprising as he tried to support Amnesty with the Gang of 8.

Re: Marco Rubio 2016

Still pushing Amnesty. Ted Cruz has NEVER supported Amnesty. He will be the moderate candidate they will try to push on us.

Marco Rubio Promotes Welfare And Citizenship For Illegals In Middle of America’s Immigration Crisis

Rubio’s spokesman declared: “Marco has repeatedly stated — and did so again last night — that he is open to green cards after 10 years.”

A “green card” is the document that entitles foreign nationals to collect welfare, draw Social Security and Medicare, bring their foreign relatives into the U.S., and become voting citizens. In fact, the Obama Administration is currently working to get as many people on green cards as possible to vote before the 2016 election. The Obama Administration refers to green card holders from foreign lands as “New Americans,” echoing Rubio’s campaign theme of a New American Century.

Re: Marco Rubio 2016

That is the ONLY sensible solution...

Why does that matter if he believes that?

From a Christian point of view, aren't we all born into sin?

Aren't we ALL born sinners?

Don't we ALL need to be born again?

Besides, science says that there are situations where if the mother releases certain chemicals while she is carrying the child and those chemicals are released at certain points of the formation of the child's brain, then that child may be prone to developing homosexual tendencies.

No gay gene, but science says that it is POSSIBLE for a person to be born "predisposed" to that way of thinking. That doesn't make it right, but it explains how it can happen... for some.

Who said deport all illegals now? All we're against is giving lawbreakers Green cards and welfare. Same as every other country in the world, even Mexico.

Re: Marco Rubio 2016


Exclusive: Marco Rubio Fails To Support Single GOP Immigration Enforcement Bill


The United States is being deluged with illegal immigrants, spurred on by the hope of amnesty. In response, conservative lawmakers have introduced a wide array of legislative proposals to clamp down on illegal immigration.

Breitbart News can now exclusively report that, despite Sen. Marco Rubio’s campaign rhetoric, the presidential hopeful hasn’t cosponsored a single one of these immigration enforcement proposals, nor introduced any of his own in the two years since he was the very public face of the Gang of Eight in the Senate.
