Arizona Sen. John McCain partnered with liberal Democrat Ted Kennedy in 2005 to offer illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship, then allied with border security hardliners during a tough 2010 Republican primary. "Complete the danged fence," McCain cracked in a widely publicized television spot.
Less well known is the equally dramatic pivot by Marco Rubio, from 2010 candidate who dismissed McCain’s proposal as “amnesty,” to U.S. senator who on Monday championed reforms McCain said had “very little difference” from his previous plan, which became the blueprint for failed legislation in 2006 and 2007.
During a March 28, 2010 Fox News debate against then-Gov. Charlie Crist, Rubio said: “He would have voted for the McCain plan. I think that plan is wrong, and the reason I think it’s wrong is that if you grant amnesty, as the governor proposes that we do, in any form, whether it's 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.”
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
Rubio, LOL, has always been for amnesty, he just wants to rope a dope and call it something else, and besides that he is a lier, any gold plated rino that tells you there is 11 million illegals in the united states thinks you are a retired idiot. Minimum number is 30 millions. Rubio is a big spending liberal, period.
We have 23 million unemployed, millions on fake disability, what has the rich guys like rubio done to get american citizens back to work, what has he done to get current laws enforces. Not a dang things, now he wants you to buy a pipe dream that new laws will be enforced. Secure the borders, cap the amnesty at 11 millions, the rest are deported, then we will talk.
Zitat Marco Rubio [strike]Evolved[/strike] Caved on Immigration Reform
Anyone who is any "Member of (Place Number Here)" group is right out in my book for anything further than a lifelong appointment to the Senate. Does anyone in their right mind believe that anything that Chuck Schumer is a part of will do anything other than destroy the Right? The 4 GOP'ers here are complete idiots. Been nice knowing you Marco. You can go to hell now with your pals McLame and Grahmnesty.
Rush just said that the divine leader will include queer couples in the amnesty. I believe he said that includes ones not here yet. A true bill of retainer.
