On a victorious night in Florida, Senator-elect Marco Rubio thanked his supporters and reminds us — in the midst of tremendous political upheaval — of the importance of faith and family. And, as he does in only a way he can, Rubio stresses American exceptionalism and freedom of opportunity as keys to the nation’s future:
“I know America’s great, not because I’ve read it in a book, but because I’ve seen it with my eyes.”

Posted on November 3, 2010 at 11:03amThey must lower health insurance costs. To date Americans cannot afford health insurance premiums because they are so expensive. Americans who do not have health insurance cannot go to doctors because they cannot afford health insurance costs. So they get sick and sick and sick until they die. So it is important that the politicians in the US Congress lower the health insurance costs. Other countries can afford to buy health insurance but here Americans cannot. It is a shame.

Posted on November 3, 2010 at 5:51amOur prayers were answered for Florida. Marco Rubio you rock brother, and we are so thankful you won. You are going to be one of the greatest players in what unfolds for America in the next two years and beyond. Lots of work but I know you always knew it was not going to be easy.

Posted on November 3, 2010 at 2:17amOk folks don’t get all bubbly over Rubio. As someone who watched his campaign over the last year, well I’m not impressed.He’s flipped flopped on immigration and social security reform just to name 2. I haven’t heard him have 1 real solution or answer. He refused to debate the libertarian candidate or even appear at any of the same events.
Report Post »And no I didn’t vote for him or any of the other two the media covered.

Posted on November 3, 2010 at 1:35amHe talks a good game. Let’s see if he can walk the walk. I sure hope. “I had a thrill running up and down my leg”. Rubio did sound great. We have to force coalitions in the House and Senate to redirect the agenda toward limited constitutional government. I think TEA is about to be served on the Hill!

Posted on November 3, 2010 at 11:37amWhoever you are, I want you to know that God had everything to with it. God is evident, because creation speaks of a Creator. Man will be without excuse when they stand before Him one day, and on that day you will reap what you sow. My advice to you, is that you seek the truth. Do not be blinded by the things of this world, and do not harden your heart against the Living God who holds your next breath in His hands.

Report Post »Said Hussein gave him the blue pill to swallow. It gave him amnesia.
Ol’ Charlie said the effect just wore off a couple hrs ago.
Charlie jumped up on stage and gave his victory speech. He said he could hardly wait to implement Obama Care and Cap and Trade.
Guess he only thought that blue pill wore off. He’s still trapped in the Matrix.

Posted on November 3, 2010 at 12:12amMarco Rubio is now my favorite U.S. Senator! The new Sen. Mike Lee (who is a constitutional law attorney) of Utah and Jim Demint are also solid conservatives! These and some of the other new ones are the defenders of the Constitution! They are the defenders of freedom!
Marco Rubio for President!

Posted on November 26, 2010 at 3:01pmAlthough I greatly admire Marco Rubio, he does not meet the Constitutional qualifications for President of being a Natural Born Citizen. He was born in Miami so he is a citizen, but I can’t find anywhere that his parents were citizens. He is qualified Constitutionally to be a senator, but not President. The liberals will rub our faces in this issue if we have been screaming that Obama is ineligible because his father was not a citizen, and then promote Rubio because he is our guy.
