From ‘Hope & Change‘ to ’Divide & Conquer’: Marco Rubio Draws a Sharp Contrast Between Presidential Candidates

Americans must decide this November whether they want a president who understands business and job growth or one who is “divisive” and economically unsuccessful, or so says Republican Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL).

“He has divided us against each other deliberately,” said Sen. Rubio during a stump speech for Romney. “It’s the only way he thinks he can win. It has gone from ‘hope’ and ‘change’ to ‘divide and conquer.’”

“And it’s tragic in this case,” he continued, “because I can’t think of a figure in modern American history who had more good will when he was elected than this one. And he has walked away from all of it. Today, he’s just another politician in Washington, D.C., with the same old divisive ‘class warfare’ politics of the past.”

“This is not a choice between two bad people,” the senator continued, “This is a choice between a guy who has no idea what he’s doing, and a guy that does.”

      Why is (kitty, kitty) priebus, head of GOP unwilling to discuss sitting and resigned pub senators, adulterers and breaker of commandments?
      I see no christians speaking up. No cardinals, princes of the church. Where is mcconnell, portman, rubio, other pub senators or boehner, cantor, hensarling, sessions we understand??? Maybe adultery, breaking commandments so ordinary among pubs, no big deal—is that why no one speaks up?

      US republican senators, adulterers, breakers of Commandments.
      How do pub christians feel about these guys, our tax dollars paying their salaries,
      altho ensign resigned, vitter still sitting senator. WHOREMONGER SENATOR!!!

      Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, whose telephone number was disclosed by the so-called “D.C. Madam” accused of running a prostitution ring, says he is sorry for a “serious sin” and that he has already made peace with his wife.

      “This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible,” Vitter said Monday in a printed statement. “Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there — with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.”

      You may know that gays/lesbians as a general group are well educated for the most part and very affluent. Surely you’ve heard about all the gay millionaires at AMZN, FB, MSN, and especially AAPL, including the CEO. Likely Tim Cook is a billionaire.

      What does this mean? Only that you are wasting your time, and with Appelate Courts already standing behind and saying gays cannot under the Constitution, specifically 14th Amendment, Equal Protection Clause, be denied rights of all taxpayers.

      It’s only a matter of time when gay marriage will be as legal here as in Canada, UK, Spain and elsewhere. Of course, it is already legal in a number of US states, progressive ones, of course.

      You have every right to your opinion, but Jesus would say, as Bible clearly indicates he did, Love your neighbor, Do unto others. Give it some thought.

      You are likely unaccostomed to losing, but you can’t really think going against the courts, the billionaires and millionaires, Prime Minister Cameron and President Obama that in this instance you have even a small chance of being on the winning side. Certainly, from his commands, the side Jesus would take.

      If you believe that a politicians record isn’t the most important aspect to consider then you and I will have to agree to disagree. What else do we have to go on? Their speeches? How many times in your life have you heard a politician, from any party, say one thing and shortly afterwards do the opposite? I’ve seen it countless times. So, speeches don’t mean a lot to me.

      Should we assess them based on their personal appearance? Their religion? Their grades in college? Our gut feeling? None of those seem to be a very practical way to make up ones mind.

      Romney not having been a legislator anywhere makes his potential Presidential actions a bit tougher to assess. In his case I have to look at his overall support of various issues. What I see makes him a Progressive, big government R who is only slightly to the right of where our President is. I find that completely unacceptable. Peace.

      Nothing like a story featuring a Tea Party Conservative like Marco Rubio or Allen West to bring out the DNC shill circle-jerk. I no longer believe you Paulbots are actually interested in stopping the destruction of America by the DNC. You crowd into any thread about a Tea Party Conservative Republican and sling mud, obfuscate truth, and rage against said Republican.

      You are not fooling anyone with your support for Ross Perot, because we know that a vote for Perot is as good as a vote for Obama. You know this too, which is why I no longer believe you represent anything but MediaMatters/Soros/DNC.

      Just another shill circle-jerk in a Rubio/West/Romney thread. BASH, BASH, BASH. Demonizing and marginalizing republicans. Alinsky/Soros/DNC drones tearing down anything that might challenge Obama’s hopes for keeping power for 4 more years. You disgust me.

      @TheRealConservative, I said my rights have been voted away. I’ve yet to have my rights personally infringed, but I don’t fly. The TSA is branching out to the highways, bus terminals and subway stations. They are violating Americans 4th ammendment rights every day, and we’ve already seen the abuses from the TSA groping children and old ladies. Americans have been targeted by drones and killed without due process. I don’t know how much of my online communications have been tucked away by the NSA, but I assume they’re doing it based on the stories here (which I know you don’t believe) I’m not aware of HR347 being enforced yet, but it’s on the books. Oh and I can’t hunt squirrels with an Uzi. It’s just a slippery slope, man.

      @Copatriots/Willy, Just a guess, but I think a lot of what you are seeing regarding a lack of condemnation of Obama is that’s kind of beating a dead horse. I mean I suppose you all could be onto something, but I personally don‘t spend a lot of time bashing Obama because we all agree that he’s a rotten president. Not to mention GB and the Blaze do an excellent job shining the light on him and his lackeys, whereas they kind of turn a blind eye on the R’s that are screwing us over. Like I said, that’s just a hunch.

      Nah Willy, We don’t have his voting record. Only what he said he supported in the debates. I have no clue what he voted for in his personal life.

      @Wool, All those guys road into Washington as Tea Party candidates and then started voting right along with the establishment. I don‘t believe that’s what they were sent there to do, is it? I mean if I’m mistaken on their voting records, call me on it. Argue the points and I‘ll concede when I’m wrong. Stating facts isn’t really an Alinsky tactic. Saying people are using Alisnky tactics when they present facts is an Alinsky tactic, but.. and as for being disgusting…. I’m not so sure I mind being called that by someone who seems to have an obsession with “circle jerks”. Just saying.

      I can‘t speak for others but the reason I don’t comment on most President Obama articles is because I don’t read them. Frankly, there isn’t anything that he could say that would interest me, or would possibly make me rethink my position with regard to the upcoming election. He is beyond redemption in my world.

      I don’t see much sense in going into those threads, like many do, and posting meaningless things like “He’s a socialist”, “He’s a this”, “He’s a that”, or some other drivel. If that makes someone else feel good then have at it. But it’s not for me. We all know what President Obama stands for after suffering through the last 3 1/2 years.

      My sole interest is in placing a President in the WH in 2013 who knows, understands, defends, and honors the Constitution of the United States. There is only one with a clear track record that meets that singular criterion. Ron Paul. I welcome you to join us, QP. Peace.

    I have to disagree with the senator on this because Barry knows exactly what he‘s doing and it’s the only promise he kept,to fundamentally transform America,I believe into a communist state.He forgot to mention that little detail the first time around because that would have ensured his defeat.
