Marco Rubio – from hero to zero


Due to his support for old-fashion amnesty for illegal aliens, conservatives are dog-piling upon the hapless freshman senator from Florida. I wish to add myself to the stack (considering my weight, this is no small matter).

HERO
He rode into the Senate on the crest of the Tea Party tidal wave of 2010 (in fact, the same year I ran, and lost, for a seat in the House). He was hailed as the future of the Republican Party: young, Hispanic, aggressive, and a talented communicator. He pronounced the conservative Shibboleths correctly (Google it).

ZERO
Then, this Trojan Horse (Google it) revealed itself in the dark of night by supporting full amnesty for all illegals before 2011 (in this sense, he is on the same page as Mr. “O”). How many this would cover varies, depending upon whom you ask: his number is 11 million, Pew says 20 million, some academics say 30 million. This really sticks in my craw, because his efforts contaminate the very heart of American democracy, liberty, and freedom: citizenship. I can forgive many flaws, but amnesty is not one of them.

RINO
Can the keeper of this list add the name: Marco Rubio (R, Fla.)?
Thank you.
