Great speech. Nice to hear a politician talking passionately about his love for our country. It's sad that it happens so infrequently that it is refreshing to hear Mr. Rubio talk about it.
However to all the folks wanting him to run for President, I get it, but IMO let him get some more years under his belt, and see what he does in the Senate. He just got elected, and if he goes and runs for Pres now he's just going to be attacked like Palin for leaving in the middle of his term. I like people who say what they mean and mean what they say, so when he says he does not want to run, I expect him to at least finish out his first full term. Same with Christie
Something like that, but the difference beween Rubio and Obama, among MANY MANY things, is that at least Rubio has some kind of a record. Unlike Obama who seems to only be capable of voting "Present".
@EchoMike03 I hear you man. I'm just hopeful to get someone on the ballot for 2012 other than Romney, who in my eyes is a hack. I was just saying that if it was possible for a man who is so blatantly inexperienced, and who lives on the pages of his speechwriter's teleprompter... maybe Rubio could have a chance.
I totally agree. If Romney is the candidate I'll support him, but we could do better. As far as Rubio goes, he could kick Obama's ass right now. But maybe the best strategy for now is get him out of office and replace with the best conservative we can, let Rubio get seasoned in the Senate, and let him come in as the cleaup hitter in 2016 or 2020. God willing.
I'd love to see us get a real conservative this time around, but I'm hoping we get somone that can produce results.
@EchoMike03 Mike..I'm not at ALL racist against Latinos. I AM against ANYONE who espouses what this man does. And if Lationos thik this man is FOR them....they are so poorly mistaken.
If there's one thing we've learned over the last two years is that if you disagree with a politician who happens to be a minority you are obviously a racist.
Or maybe that's only if the politician is a Democrat
If there's one thing we've learned over the last two years is that if you disagree with a politician who happens to be a minority you are obviously a racist. All jokes aside, you have not listened to this man or the overarching message that he is expressing. You are blinded by a sad leftist ideology that pits one person against another. Mr Rubio is elequently talking about ALL American's not just Latino, or Black, or women, or poor, or rich.
@MsPROUDAMERICAN1776 How obvious of a straw man are you? You are clearly a democrat guising yourself as a "proud american" to give this man a bad name.
Marco has "arrived", he has his first heckler. He is really impressive, looking forward to watching and listening to him for MANY more years!! Thanks for posting this!

This spic will sell out on immigration.
He is just a "diversity" candidate
You just can't have spic in power. They will invite all their buddies from Mexico.
God knows how many family members he has over there.

See now THIS IS A RACIST!!!!
Thanks for the clarifying post.
Do us all a favor ma'am, please don't be on our side.
If you want to section people up into groups to pit against one another you'd be much more comforatable on the Democrats side.

I suggest you look up his immigration record when he was speaker of the Florida Assembly.
He voted for a State version of the dream act.
Once the US Senate seat was up for grabs he embellished his conservative stances and used the Tea Party as en expedient to get elected.
Google: Rubio Dream Act POLITICO
READ the entire article. You'll see exactly what I mean.
The media establishment is propping him up. He WILL cave when he get the opportunity.

@MsPROUDAMERICAN1776 Yeah... because if there's somewhere I'm going to look for unbiased reporting... I'm going to waste my time on Politico.

The guy voted for the Dream Act when he was in the Florida Assembly. You fools think that he won;t vote for amnesty when the chance is given?
Give me a break. The Media is mulling for the guy, big time.
