U.S. Senate Candidate Marco Rubio (R-FL) Delivers Weekly Republican Address

[walteann1]

Do not let the President get his way on the DEBT Annah Walters Furney 7/25/2011

[Jujuman2003]

Rubio is nothing but an Uncle Tomas. 

[CoreyStudios2000]

we should have a republican like him in office. Lets just ask him if we can end the obama administration and then get rid every communist, fascist, and corrupt corporation owner that tries to take over our country. Marco Rubio for 2012!!!

[BlackRepublican2010]

Marco Rubio a la presidencia 2012

[GodsReligionChannel]

Rubio, go suck up to the rich elite who run the Republican Party.

Blah blah blah blah blah .... a bunch of crap!

[Bossmanrocks]

Hey hardcorenyc, 94% of blacks voted for Obama. By your standards they're racists too. When John Kennedy ran for president even conservatives voted for him just because he was Catholic. That's just the nature of the beast. Great thing that Rubio is hispanic, since hispanics will be the majority in this country soon - just about the time he'll probably run for president. That is, if there is even a US left since Obama seems dead set on destroying it.

[fuzzyabomb]

@Bossmanrocks You're talking about bias. It's not racism.

[RTT8001]

Oh, the son of exiles. Get out the Kleenex. Can't wait to back to the Bush #1 & #2 policies that "killed jobs." Wake up America. The train wreck policies of the right wing will get us no where. Even under bad times the wealth of the rich have approximately tripled since the Reagan years while we, the middle class, have seen our status decline.

[hardcorenyc]

I love how 60% of his votes were Hispanic, Hispanics never vote republican so this clearly shows how racist Hispanics are & all they care about is them selves! Amnesty! Lmao!

[RTT8001]

@hardcorenyc

Cuban Americans in Florida have always traditionally voted right wing regardless of this jerk. What are the idiots smoking who like this punk. "Sunny optimism??" This country needs alot more than sunshine.

Here we go again........unpaid for tax cuts for the wealthy (no not small businesses dick heads), protect the banks and Wall Street, let corporate scum run wild and unregulated. Health care repealed? Well, it was modeled after the MASS plan under Romney. Romney a socialist?

[catburger1000]

Politics aside, Marco Rubio is a "wet dream" for Florida's gay men.

[yorylein]

so much blablabla...he didn´t actually say anything at all. He only critizes!

[DrCaustic]

Rubio should be running for President.

[mhamil973]

@DrCaustic FOX NUTS told you to fear Obama that is why you voted for someone that defrauded medicare in Florida. Search for this video and learn the truth;

[DrCaustic]

@mhamil973 : LOGIC tells me to fear Obama. It should tell you the same thing. What kind of evil tyrant passes a monster healthcare bill (much of it not even related to healthcare) in the midst of a turbulent economy?

[BlackRepublican2010]

@mhamil973 Once again, President Obama, not Marco Rubio used $500 Billion of future Medicare Funds to pay for the new Health Reform Law. That is stealing, defrauding, whatever you want to call it.

I like the tea party candidates that have No experience in politics...this guy is an obvious con man.......he is a wolf in sheeps clothing.......dont back this guy fuck this liar......Re ELECT NO ONE WHO HAS EVER BEEN TAINTED BY POLITICS....just look at this liars suit it says it all......back away TEA PARTY this guy isnt fer real !

[SW34R3NG3N]

It's great if he means it. No disrespect but the GOP got too involved with over regulation and spending. If they're serious about keeping taxes at sane levels and not punishing the most productive class and just doing what government was intended to do instead of all this social engineering crapola they've become so fond of and promise to get the hell out of the way of business and our lives then they have my vote.

[jefftrout1]

RNC... SUPPORT O'DONNEL NOW!!!!!! WHAT THE HECK?!

[eatmeout6999]

largest tax increase in history? maybe only after the largest tax decrease in us history. You republicans constantly stand for the largest bussiness and the richest familys who control who control un-spendable ammounts of capital. It is now when the people who do the actual productive work in this nation will turn on you, buy local, and invest in communtity projects to increase neighborhood wealth. You, republicans who would kick people out of thier homes for the banks profit. Idealogs!

[ma049]

This guy gets taken seriously?

"Tired of finger pointing and sound bites"?

How ironic.

Thanks for finger pointing and sound bites Marco.

[SoreThumbSociety]

Well done, and very well stated.

Marco Rubio 2012

[veryrandom32]

@sonic10158 Marco Rubio for president, yes, eventually. But let him first have some experience of 1 or 2 terms as senator, THEN I'd fully support him for president :)

[sonic10158]

@veryrandom32 Good point!

[pholourd]

My vote goes to Rubio - an intelligent politician who cares about the furure of our hurting country. Time to swing the off-balanced congress and senate back to even.

Go Marco, and good luck !

[myop1357]

Marco Rubio says he running as an outsider. What a LIE!!!!! Don't let this liar ruin what left of the State of Fl. Vote for Charlie Christ and save our state from this extremist.

[mcap52]

I think Rubio has that same type of "cult"following that Obama had,due to his excellent oratory skills. I would say be very wary of this guy,don't do what was done in 08 and listen to the words instead of looking at his past.

[LLORT3]

@thurmaw

i have a better idea. you keep being a sucker and doing what the corporate lobbyists and their propaganda ministers (beck, limbaugh, reid, pelosi) tell you to do.

i instead will advocate for my own economic self-interest. you can work hard and be a good slave for the two party oligarchy, in the meantime i will sit back collecting my unemployment benefits while advocating for higher wages.

everyone wins except the suckers who believe we should work for free.

[conservative89]

amen

[1911arthur]

This guy is a total LOSER. Crist will win by 10 points. Rubio wants to eliminate Social Security and jack the age. Another crook. He would destroy Florida and put oil wells within 3 miles of the beaches, a complete disaster.

He is AGAINST legalized gambling that would bring BILLIONS of dollars and 1 million NEW jobs to the state, yet the state already has powerball,lotto,card rooms,dog tracks,horse tracks,bingo,jai-lai,numbers and every other form of gambling. He's an idiot. A Sellout

[myop1357]

@1911arthur How true!!!!!

[1911arthur]

@myop1357 He's another crook. Investigated on credit cards still going on. Typical Republican who wants to give billionaires and millionaires 800 billion in tax cuts that will be paid for by the middle class.

Is hell bent on taking Social Security away from us.

My entire extended family of over 100 voters are totally against this bum for the rich.

Crist, will defeat him by 10 or more points. At least he is totally against destroying Florida, and will never allow drilling off the coast.

[1911arthur]

loser

[LLORT3]

@thurmaw

it's sickening that i believe in advocating for my own economic self-interest?

ugh. glenn beck and the corporations have you gassed up. don't believe their lies.

[benz2go]

@BaffledObserver Yeah, yeah I read Ezra Kline too. All the pundits on the left are jumping on the NFIB graphs to justify their preconceived notions about the infallibility of Keynesian economics. Of course businesses react primarily to sales, but presuming that low earners will use their additional tax credits to buy-buy-buy is naive. Many will simply get out of debt they have already accumulated and many will save. We'll see how much the electorate agrees with you come November.

[benz2go]

@BaffledObserver As someone in the under$25K bracket I can attest that my confidence would be bolstered by seeing my neighbors going to work instead of collecting unemployment. Allowing tax reductions to expire is just the last of many deadly errors this congress will make. If you talk to the actual business owners who hire people like me you would realize that they're perception of uncertainty, grounded in what this government has enacted and is threatening to enact, is what kills incentive.

[FiREFLYSerenity408]

I am a Californian who supports Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate.

[RightThemes]

Marco Rubio is the successor to Reagan idealism, I wrote a blog post about this:

The man has a sunshine filled optimism, and unwavering belief in the country that is unrivaled. The end of Leftism is upon us, if we work hard to bring about REAL positive change for the country, not empty marketing slogans that are so much air, signifying nothing. Come November, We stand with Marco!!

[mhamil973]

@RightThemes Where did you hear that, from FOX NUTS?

[1yearyounger]

@RightThemes Reagon cause the take over of america by corporations, gave tax cuts to the rich, and tripled the deficit. If that is marco i think i would rather stand with the socialists.

[TheSharpiehound]

Marco Rubio for President . . . . !!!!

[xcrunner111]

Marco 2012!!!!!!!

[mastermike2580]

Tax increases which would be the largest in america's history, or in other words, tax increases which are reversing the Bush tax cuts, which were the largest tax cuts in America's history.

How dare you Rubio define America only by her economic state. Our country's might and determination is so strong that it will not diminish at the first sight of trouble, it will not run scared like a politican in an upcoming election, even during the great depression the american spirit was still vibrant.

[mastermike2580]

this guy is such a fake

1. You left Cuba, a communist, tyrannical govt. Never compare it to America again.

2. GOP has been saying they can deliver us from poor economy, but it was Bush's policies that helped to put us in our situation, plus 11 trillion in debt.

3. Is there a 13 trillion stimulus bill right now??? Cutting the stimulus will not fix the deficit.

[freedompatriot1]

I like Marco Rubio but can he "walk the walk"? He better, he and Christ Christi is all we really have. However, put these two guys together, one POTUS, one VP and you'll have a revolution like no other.

WE THE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN NOVEMBER!

REMEMBER CHRIS CHRISTIE and MARCO RUBIO!

[Kane88andToews19]

[MrRob77]

I am jealous of Florida now.  We need him here in TX

[cda1148]

Marco Rubio is the real deal for FL

[ilamay77]

I accidentally hit the dislike button, then the like, Sorry! God bless Marco Rubio.

[Lynne7777777]

Refreshing! He is young, intelligent, knowledgeable about the legislative process and speaks directly about the primary issues that concern most of us.

[braininahat]

Marco Rubio inspires Americans with simple yet powerful words. Conservatives are still the majority of this country. We've failed to challenge Liberals. We've let them dictate public opinion. We let them fire people for using the word "niggardly." We let them wield the race card indiscriminately. We let them control the narrative of almost every story and debate. Conservatives have let the most depraved members of our society take control. America isn't America anymore, but we can fix it

[deanorep]

I am so happy to be a Florida resident - and Independent. I've watched Rubio for a couple months now, and he will certainly get my vote. Imagine him, Scott Brown, and more like them changing the Guard in DC. Folks like Rubio are my only hope that we can turn this country around. BTW - I plan to vote for the Democrat Alex Sink for governor - the Rep candidate Scott creeps me out. And Obama HAS to go.

[BS61Chgo]

@deanorep - Scott Brown is a RINO, just like McCain who welcomed him ot DC! Rubio is not like those two - he's endorsed by Jim DeMint - a true lone conservative in DC.

[3martijns]

Marco Rubio is a Great American.

[BlackRepublican2010]

@mhamil973 Actually, Obama defrauded Medicare. The Health Care Reform Bill signed into law by President Obama uses $500 Billion in stolen Medicare funds to pay for his new entitlement. People should not have to depend on Medicare. I am young and I do not want it. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security all cost $100 Trillion in unfunded liabilities. What has Marco Rubio done to the tune of $500 billion? Nothing. Typical liberal talking points.

[BlackRepublican2010]

[LLORT3]

i think the bush tax cuts should only be extended for the poor and middle class

[benz2go]

@LLORT3 When was the last time you or someone you know was hired by a member of the poor or middle class? We can have job creation or we can have class warfare. Time to choose.

[LLORT3]

@benz2go

the tax cuts for the rich does not affect business income, only personal income. as we have seen from the failed policies of the past administration the rich hold onto their money they do not hire more when given the opportunity

i think instead of waiting for the rich to be altruistic the govt must give money back to main street and take it from the super rich if they have to, it's our money at the end of the day anyway

[benz2go]

@LLORT3 your statement - "the tax cuts for the rich does not affect business income, only personal income." - reflects poorly on your understanding of the small businesses which account for most potential job creation. Since the majority of small businesses are either sole proprietorships or subchapter S corporations, for these entities there is virtually no distinction between business earnings and the personal earnings of the owners. Failure to understand facts like these hurts everyone.

[LLORT3]

@benz2go

you only have it half right; small business owners, well most of them, have less than 250k annual personal income, so the majority of them will not be taxed at a higher rate.

all obama wants to do is raise the tax rate for the richest people. if there are small businesses that are hoarding money it is their own fault for not using it to hire people.

[benz2go]

@LLORT3 It doesn't really matter why a business owner is reticent to hire, the bottom line is that if he won't hire then the people will go without jobs. It is not just taxes but rather the overall climate of uncertainty and this president's stated goal to "spread the wealth around" that is adding drastically to the problem. If you really believe that wealth redistribution creates prosperity then good luck to you.

[LLORT3]

@benz2go

cool, well i don't think the president has spread the wealth around, unless you call bailing out the ultrarich on wall street spreading the wealth.

personally i hope he gets his head on straight and stops this trickle down bullshit. by spreading the wealth we socialists mean taking it from the rich and giving it to the poor.

[benz2go]

@LLORT3 Anyone who has seen a satellite photo of the Korean peninsula taken at night can plainly see how well socialism works. Redistribution always, ALWAYS destroys prosperity. So the theory sounds good to some. It just never works out the way you plan. In the end socialism always creates a tiny powerful elite who manage to take care of their needs and the vast majority suffer.

[LLORT3]

@benz2go

finland is also socialist and is arguably the best country in the world. :)

[benz2go]

@LLORT3 As I'm sure you are aware, and as notable Finnish academics have pointed out, the Finnish collectivist mindset is not exportable. Voluntary collectivism will indeed work, as the Mennonites, Hutterites, etc. have demonstrated in this country. You are free to join them but you won't. What is happening in this country constitutes a kind of civil war between a radical elitist minority and a vast, ethnically and socially diverse working class. 

[LLORT3]

@benz2go

not really, that's all in your mind

[benz2go]

@LLORT3 You may be right! The Tea Party Tax day protests, all those angry town hall meetings, Scott Brown sitting in Ted Kennedy's senate seat - why I must be massively delusional because I've imagined seeing all these things on all the news channels. Just this past July, in a deep psychotic hallucination I imagined I heard Robert Gibbs admit that the Democrats may lose control of the house in the upcoming midterms. Help! I can't find my Clorazil !

[benz2go]

@LLORT3 the PPACA is about nothing more than redistribution of wealth. Even now its authors have abandoned all pretense that it will contain costs. In the end we all, socialists and capitalists alike will receive less and pay more for it. No free lunch. Not even confiscating ALL of the property of the "ultra rich" will solve the problem, as you well know.

[LLORT3]

@benz2go

i think usa should just convert to a socialist state.

[TheLastBrainLeft]

Rubio, America's first Hispanic President. Can't wait to make that sort of history....

[TheSmokingArgus]

Dear Candidate Rubio:

You are right, America did not become great by accident. America became great because government 'got out of the way' and let people go about their business so long as another individual or their property was not harmed through force or fraud.

You are an attractive, well spoken charismatic person, but even you seem to fail to grasp that we do not seek to repeal "ObamaCare" merely to replace it with "BoehnerCare".

The solution is simple, get out of the way.

[boarini2003]

Go Marco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LLORT3]

I think the insurance companies should be eliminated.

[TheLastBrainLeft]

@LLORT3 I think you should exercise your 2nd Amendment rights and eliminate yourself with a soon to be illegal lead slug.

[Texndoc]

One more thing - all the talk so far has been "Get Meek out of the race so Crist can win - Anybody But Rubio!" Just wait two or three more weeks - it's going to change to "Get Crist out of the race so Meek can win!" Go Marco!!

[Texndoc]

RUBIO 2010!

Crist sealed his fate by stating twice in an interview he would have voted for Obamacare, then two hours later stating he "misspoke" and he meant to say he would have voted AGAINST it. That's not going to fly, jerk. Two hours probably isn't even your personal best fasted time for completely flipping on a position, is it? November is time to exterminate professional politicians like Charlie FlipFlop, willing to say anything depending on who's in front of him at the time.

[floridagrandpa]

Not all of us are ignorant. What got us out of the Great Depression was the enormous stimulus of WWII. Just like it is hard to justify insurance until you are the unlucky one, so is the stimulus. Bush started the stimulus in 2008 because he was a responsible statesman. I really stand with old time Republican values. Just tired of B.S. from my own party.

[dtpac]

@floridagrandpa you're right, not all of us are ignorant, JUST YOU.

RUBIO 2010!!!

[TheLastBrainLeft]

@floridagrandpa Where do people get this silly idea that Bush started any "stimulus"?

You're no Republican, so stop saying you are.

[floridagrandpa]

@TheLastBrainLeft : Dear last to know. Do an google search on Bush stimulus. Any one informed is not impress with silly rhetoric .

[TheLastBrainLeft]

@floridagrandpa That was a tax rebate, not a massive expenditure.

[dtpac]

@floridagrandpa COULD IT BE? floridagrandpa is CHARLIE CRIST???

[benz2go]

@floridagrandpa @floridagrandpa @floridagrandpa The question should not be only what got us out of the Great Depression but also why was the Great Depression so unusually long in the first place. The economists at UCLA concluded long ago that FDR's New Deal prolonged the Great Depression in the first place! Also Bush signed onto TARP which was an emergency plan to save financial organizations NOT a stimulus program!

[CentrlFlagrl]

@floridagrandpa Maybe you are talking about TARP, Grandpa. At the end of Bush's term they past TARP where he spent half & the other half was to be spent by Obama.

[floridagrandpa]

@CentrlFlagrl Bush started Tarp and a tax rebate. He also led the government both parties to spend over a trillion dollars on the wars we are fighting now all borrowed. Is that a stimulus? This is what makes me angry with our party leaders and politicians.They say one thing and do another.Old time Republicans are turning over in their graves.

[floridagrandpa]

Listen up Rubio. Quit calling for the repeal of health care reform. You know that we will not get the super majority this fall we need to overturn an Obama veto. We might get the other party to work with us to improve the reform. That is practical. If we do not some how increase demand for goods and service businesses will not hire additional people. Right now firms and banks are sitting on a huge pile of money. They need to be encourage to spend some of it.

[CentrlFlagrl]

@floridagrandpa I think many want to repeal health care. We don't need to get a super majority this fall, but it sure would be nice. Yet even with only a majority that's enough to allow Congress to stop the funding.

Markets create demand not stimulus, there simply won't be a consumer driven economy in a jobless recovery.

[floridagrandpa]

@CentrlFlagrl At last an intelligent response. Right now the middle class consumer is tapped out and cannot or will not spend to create demand. I would like to see corporate income tax abolished letting the full profit fall to the stock holders.Increase their marginal rates. Stock holders would then encourage the companies to spend their cash to build their business as that would not be tax and start creating demand which would start hiring.

[floridagrandpa]

@CentrlFlagrl Health care reform is here to stay. When Social Security and Medicare were enacted the same type of super charged rhetoric was spoken.After the average person figured out what it was about they loved those programs. They will eventually like health care reform too.It would be more profitable to add to the reform not try to abolish it. The reform was what our Party propose as an alternate to Hillary care. Opposition now is really all about power.

[CentrlFlagrl]

@floridagrandpa My father has already gotten the notice from his Cardiologist letting him know the test & procedures he previously had, won't be covered.

You can keep your own insurance? How does that work, when the bill STATES if your employer makes any changes to your plan , you LOSE that status. FACT! Cutting a half trillion out of Medicare that is 10's of trillions in debt already does NOTHING to make Medicare solvent, just common sense. No, my party didn't propose this as an alternative.

[floridagrandpa]

Listen up Rubio. I live in Florida and am a Republican super voter. If you want my vote quite stretching the truth.Taxes are at a sixty year low. If the Bush tax cuts expire we would return to the Clinton era tax rate a far cry from our highest tax rates. We cannot cut taxes with out cutting spending and expect to reduce our deficit. We need to increase taxes and cut spending to get our deficit under control.

[dtpac]

@floridagrandpa WHOSE taxes are not at an all-time high? What planet are you on? Cuba?

[floridagrandpa]

Why not do the research yourself instead of listening to sound bites?

[dtpac]

@floridagrandpa the research is all right there every day, dipwad. 13-plus trillion debt that YOUR grandkids are on the hook for, GRANDPA CHARLIE CRIST. What other research is needed? Rubio knows what's needed to try to get America turned around, and that is getting tools like YOU, Mr. Crist out of the government.

[TheLastBrainLeft]

@floridagrandpa Follow your own advice, that's all you seem to have.

[TheLastBrainLeft]

@floridagrandpa Yeah, a Republican who spews DNC talking points. Admit it grandpa, you're as lefty as they come.

[floridagrandpa]

Do you want the deficit stop and the national debt paid off? Well waving a wand will not get the job done. I do not know who has been more irresponsible the Democrats or Republicans. I would expect such behavior from Democrat politicians but not Republicans ones.House cleaning starts at home.

@miturbinesdurti the RACE CARD! Amen! All white people are racists, right? That's the entire problem, WHITE PEOPLE! Kill us all and all the problems disappear! Because, after all, the blacks and mexicans all love each other and want to interbreed to fulfill obama's dream of replacing GOD ALMIGHTY with manmade utopia!
