I mean, esp compared to what's in WH now. Apparently an extreme supporter of Communist Cuba attempted a hit-piece on Rubio and got called on his deliberately mis-quotes: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/2011/10/did-the-washington-post-embellish-marco-rubios-embellishments.html<br /><br />I doubt Rubio would try to dissemble with a story like this. Again, unlike what's in the WH now, there are a lot people who have known him personally and politically in Florida, know where he comes from etc. He can't get away with that much.dcitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-37902273452518598872011-10-23T21:05:12.162-07:002011-10-23T21:05:12.162-07:00""who almost made it to the NFL."

They don't keep their mits on these places for nothing.<br />Then too, the Bermuda Triangle will definitely be of strategic use if they could only figure out how to control who disappears forever in an electrical white haze.<br />I mean there's got to be a good reason our betters inflict these things on the taxpayers.Charlottenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-81500810252796705012011-10-21T16:28:01.514-07:002011-10-21T16:28:01.514-07:00The reason the GOP woos Hispanics is that they thi...<i>The reason the GOP woos Hispanics is that they think they're something like Italian-Americans in 1935, and a significant portion can be wooed to the Republicans in the next generation or two. They may be wrong, but it's worth noting that the shift in Italian-American votes toward the Republicans didn't seem that likely in 1935 either.</i> <br /> <br /><br /><br />Two other things are worth noting.<br /><br />1) Maybe the Hispanics will turn out to resemble Jewish-Americans or African-Americans instead of Italian-Americans and not shift toward the Republican party at all.<br /><br />2) It took about sixty years for those Italians of 1935 to shift towards the Republican party. So in this analogy, we're holding out the hope that maybe, half a century from now, Hispanics will give a little more than half their votes to the GOP. But in the interim we're going to relive the glory days of the 1940's, 50's, 60's and 70's when the Democrats ran the country with an iron hand. <br /><br /><br />It's not called "The Stupid Party" for nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-51109570636782423112011-10-21T16:17:41.013-07:002011-10-21T16:17:41.013-07:00I thought I remembered Rubio throwing Arizona unde...<i>I thought I remembered Rubio throwing Arizona under the bus on immigration and generally being squishy about it.</i> <br /><br /><br />Yup.
