Romney Sticks Up for Rubio

Romney Defends Rubio Against Washington Post Story

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is coming to the defense of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who has come under fire after a recent Washington Post article questioning his family’s immigration history. Rubio has fought off attacks that he embellished his parents‘ escape from Cuba before Castro’s communist revolution, as well as his own citizenship status.

AP reports that Romney says Rubio  and his family “deserve the highest praise and recognition”. Romney calls the recent news reports an attempt to smear Rubio, and Romney describes the stories as “unfortunate” and “bogus.

In an opinion piece for POLITICO Friday, Rubio strongly denounced the allegations, writing “That is an outrageous allegation that is not only incorrect, but an insult to the sacrifices my parents made to provide a better life for their children.”

Romney Defends Rubio Against Washington Post Story

Rubio is a rising GOP star who’s often discussed as a potential vice presidential pick. Romney has acknowledged that Rubio is on the short list of people he’d consider as a ticketmate if he becomes the nominee.

    Read why the establishment Republican Party will never address Obama‘s crimes and his lack of natural born Citizenship and will go along with Rubio running even though he is not a natural born Citizen of the United States in order to validate Obama’s stay in office and cover up their complicity in allowing Obama to get unconstitutionally into the Oval Office in the first place:

    June 11, 2003, Rep. Vic Snyder, D-Ark., broughtHJR 59.It was intended to “permit persons who are not natural born citizens of the United States, but who have been citizens of the United States for at least 35 years, to be eligible to hold the offices of presidentandvicepresident.”
    Sept. 3, 2003, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., brought HJR67, which would have done the same as Snyder’s, only the requirement to be a citizen was lowered to 20 years.
    Feb. 25, 2004, Sen. Don Nickles, R-Okla., brought S.B. 2128 to “try to counter the growing Democrat onslaught aimed at removing the natural born citizen requirement.” But it defined NBC as someone who was born in and is subject to the United States,” which was not the understanding of the framers of the Constitution.
    Sept. 15, 2004, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., brought HJR 104,“to make eligible for the office of president a person who is not a natural born citizen of the United States but has been a United States citizen for at least 20 years.”
    Jan. 4, 2005, Conyers, D-Mich., HJR2, the same as Rohrabacher’s.
    Feb. 1, 2005, HJR15, Rohrabacher, to require only 20 years citizenship to be eligible for the office of president.
    April 14, 2005, Snyder, HJR42, requiring 35 years’ citizenship.
    Feb. 28, 2008, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., tried to attach to SB 2678, Children of Military Families Natural Born Citizen Act, an amendment clarifying what “natural-born citizen” includes. Obama

      This is all to obscure the fact that there are new laws on the books in several states that will force Obama to come clean before he can be added to the 2012 ballot. By obscuring the facts with other UNQUALIFIED candidates the Obama obviously hopes to skate by undetected.

      There are Rhinos complicit in this because they want their unqualified candidate(s) elected. That is the biggest reason for all of his…Constitution be damned. If Rubio and Jindal are REAL Americans they will recuse themselves based on the constitutional qualification that they don’t meet.

      @islesfordian, when was it ever SCOTUS’ job to define what the Constitution says or means? That would be allowing them to change the Constitution. And if I remember right, the ONLY ways for it to be changed, is by Amendment process laid out in Article 5. Having SCOTUS to define ‘Natural-born’ is to allow them to change the Constitution.

      If it’s not SCOTUS’ job to define what the Constitution says or means, then whose is it? Yours? People were still arguing about the definition of a natural born citizen a hundred years after the Constitution was passed. Somebody had to settle the argument. This is not allowing SCOTUS to change the Constitution, because they are not changing the meaning of the words, but just determining what the intended meaning of those words had always been.

      Title 8 Section 1401 has NOTHING to do with defining what a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN is – it is only used to define what a “run-of-the-mill” citizen is. The CONSTITUTIONAL requirement for POTUS is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN not just a “citizen” Rubio IS NOT A Natural Born Citizen but is a “citizen” who qualifies to be a US Senator (but not POTUS).

      “Run-of-the-mill” citizen is not a recognized legal term. There are just natural born citizens like Marco Rubio, who are born here and are citizens from the time they are born, and naturalized citizens who are born in another country and become citizens. If Title 8 Section 1401 doesn’t define a natural; born citizen what does? There’s no definition in the Constitution and no law or court decision defining it the way you want to. It’s not enough to reject every law and court decision defining it in a way you disagree with by claiming to have invented some mysterious new difference between a natural born citizen and other people who you claim are born citizens, but are not born natural born citizens, if you can’t show that there is any legal authority on your side.

      garyM. Come on man. The founding fathers all did not agree on who’s religeon was correct. Glenn Beck is a Mormom. I strongly disagree theologically with that. However, I can for our country agree that we have MORAL common ground. Mitt Romney is a Mormon and had the gnads to stand up for someone being unustly accused by the progressive left media. I applaud him for that. Beck as well. for his stances for Isreal. I don’t agree with everything Glenn Beck says nor do I with Mitt Romney. But, I can applaud their charachter from a moral standpoint….as they portray it. Romney is not my choice as the next president, but, from an honest standpoint, he is decidedly better than Obama and his communistic view. With that said, I do believe Romney is a political insider ergo a croney capitalist. In order for this country to be saved, we need to eliminate croney capitalism and replace it with the moral capitalism our founders sought. Franklin stated it best.

      You obviously can’t have it both ways…
      Obama does NOT presently qualify for the Presidential run in 2012 seeing he has not as of yet satisfactorily produced proof of eligibility and the mandate to the DNC and to Congress now to properly vet him.
      If they FAIL to do that again then when does that become an impeachable offense to members of Congress who have solemn responsibilities they are required by law to attend to? There is a Congressional MANDATE that itemizes the requirements for qualification for the Presidency of the US.

      The founders and framers of the Constitution were Citizens of the United States which came into existence officially on July 4, 1776. There was a grandfather clause in Article II Section 1 that allowed for only basic simple Citizenship for eligibility to be President for the founding generation. After that the President had to be the child of Citizens. Natural born Citizens are those born in the country to parents who are both Citizens (born or naturalized Citizens) of the country. Here is a report which shows the Citizenship status of the 44 presidents.

      George Washington was a Citizen of the United States, effective July 4, 1776. The founders and framers of the Constitution were Citizens of the United States which came into existence officially on July 4, 1776. There was a grandfather clause in Article II Section 1 that allowed for only basic simple Citizenship for eligibility to be President for the founding generation. After that the President had to be the child of Citizens. Natural born Citizens are those born in the country to parents who are both Citizens (born or naturalized Citizens) of the country. Here is a report which shows the Citizenship status of the 44 presidents.

      cfkerchner Where does it say that you’re only a natural born citizen if your parents are citizens? I know the laws and Court decisions that say it isn’t true, which you would probably dismiss by claiming that there’s some mysterious undefined difference between being born a citizen being a natural born citizen, or that the courts and Congress don’t have the right to change the definition, which might be true if there ever was a definition for them to change, but where does it say your definition was ever the law of this country?

    I agree, Gingrich to me is the only real conservative choice and our best chance to turn this country around. Unfortunately he has an image problem that I don’t think that he can over come with independants.

    Mitt Romney is not as conservative as I would like. He is smart and with Marco Rubio could beat Obama. I don’t like or trust Rick Perry. He has that same deer in the headlights look that Bush had. Romney has business experience that Perry lacks. We will need to elect an even more conservative congress to keep the pressure on Romney. Americans are right of center, but not as far right as most of us that read and pay attention to what Obama is doing to our country. Most have their heads in the sand.

      That would most certainly be the ticket that would save our nation. Those of you biased imaginary‘s who won’t settle for anything short of a revolution need to take a deep breath and slow down. The president seat is only one part of 3 powers. We made great progress in the house last election, and dented the Senate. We need to push harder next round. The office of presidency is only going to be won by a person like Romney or Rubio. America is social lite, if you will, this is where technology has brought us too. It will take a few steps to move us back to where we need to be because the divide is just to great at the moment. WE have made great progress in the house in 2008, and we need to push harder and further to also get a larger voice in the senate. We actually need Rubio to stay there for a bit longer, I think he knows he needs to as well. Romney/Cain would be ideal to bridge th gap and appeal to the independent but more importantly, grab those FDR pulling democrats and bring them onto the right. I live in Pittsburgh, they have elected a Dem Mayor for something like 70 years or something. This moved all the unions into place and ruined this city. People like Rush think because of Obama, this is our chance to put a “real” conservative in. He is wrong. This is our chance to win back our nations, which is left and right, that is America, as much as some of you hate to admit it. Quit bashing Romney and get on board, it isn’t about him, it is about WE THE PEOPLE

      Apex is right. Turns out once you get past all the liberal mantra (that plenty of non-thinking types espouse) and you do your own research turns out Mitt is very conservative and certainly more conservative than anyone running against him – which is why, I guess, liberals are all over him on conservative sites.
      It’s comical that so many people can claim establishment, RINO, liberal to the left of Kennedy, considering he has only been in politics 4 years as the red governor of the bluest of blue states. Even then he managed to pursue a faily conservative agenda to the extent he could. What do you really expect – that he’d turn Mass into a bastion of conservatism. Read his record, phlegm wads so that you can actually see how incorrect you are about his conservative credentials and quit repeating the agenda of the socialist liberals that are doing ALL THEY CAN to keep him off the ballots.
      Romney is a genuine conservative and the legitimate adult in this contest. You made the mistake of buying the BS in 2008 and pasing him up for the establishment guy then – we ought NOT make that mistake again.
