Same old talking points... Kinder gentler delivery from the GOPs newest jackass. They just don't get it. He's spending the entire time attacking Obama instead of offering any new solutions. He's not a very gifted speaker to boot

Stark contrast to neocon Rubio:

“It is time Democrats admit that not every dollar spent on domestic programs is sacred. And it is time Republicans – myself included – realize that military spending is not immune to waste and fraud.”He called for a budget plan that would cap the personal income tax rate at 17% and cut corporate taxes in half, while still balancing the budget through steep cuts.But Paul also struck some positions that aren’t often associated with the tea party, including a clear note backing immigration reform. He said Republicans need to be the party that “embraces” immigrants.“We must be the party who sees immigrants as assets, not liabilities,” he said. “We must be the party that says, ‘If you want to work, if you want to be an American, we welcome you.’”Paul hit other favorite conservative themes: pushing school choice, protecting 2nd Amendment gun rights and limiting executive powers. He said Congress should continue to push back against Obama’s executive orders, and said he opposes “secret kill lists of American citizens who can be killed without trial,” a reference to the administration’s use of drone strikes.http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-rand-paul-tea-party-response-20130212,0,2972143.story

He looks good and he sounds good, and he's hispanic. But when I started hearing the same lame sore-assed paranoid moaning I just tuned out. Better things to do than watch political gamesmanship.

Didn't listen to Obama either.

Politics is for losers. Policy isn't.

Nope. Rubio isn't an anchor baby. Cubans don't have to wait on line. They get a free immigration pass due to political asylum. If his parents had to follow the same rules as other Hispanics he'd still be rolling cigars for pennies in Havana or he'd have grown up fearing the INS coming after his parents.

Plus, he doesn't like to talk about that (after he was busted for making up this bullshit story about how his parents escaped Castro's clutches during the revolution).

Oh, well, you know, it could have happened that way, if things had been, you know, different.

Didn't watch...

Don't care...

But the Republicans are going to continue to struggle because they can't win on ideas.  Nobody will seriously vote for their platform except the extremely stupid who follow the marching orders of Faux News and Limbaugh.

BTW...  Does anyone else's Gaydar go off when they see Rand Paul?

[guido61]

Rubio for President? So I guess that whole "previous executive experience" issue that was. SOOOOO important for Republicans back in 2008 doesn't matter anymore?

Now the spin will be "He's fresh new blood, and not a Washinton insider - just what this country needs!"

Already the GOP is running it's clown candidate side-show again? Didn't they learn anything from the last two elections they lost?

You would think that Rubio's speech writer would have taken out the part where he demands that Obama outlines his plans for Medicare, right after Obama outlined his plans for Medicare.
