2016 Election

[Grand Vol]

Not sure that's true. Rubio seems like he is Bush III to me.

I asked yesterday but not specifically in this format, but I'll ask again.

What leads you to this conclusion?

Rubio is way more conservative than Bush.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Not sure I'd rather have Rubio over Hillary. They are basically the same, except one is scandalous.

Oh please.

Compassionate, big government, neo-conservatism.

 

[n_huffhines]

Rubio is way more conservative than Bush.

How so?

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

How so?

Pretty sure Rubio has pandered to more a middle of the road kind of guy. America doesn't want a far right president.

 

[Grand Vol]

Compassionate, big government, neo-conservatism.

Specifics, Bob.

Wow really?! Really?!

I was asking how he is more conservative than W. Sounds like you are saying he is more moderate than Bush.

If the GOP want to win the election then they need to nominate Rubio. Trump or Cruz aint gonna cut it.

I said he is pandering to the majority of people. Independents/middle of the road Rs/Ds.

What big government plans is Rubio in favor of???

If You Liked George W. Bush's Foreign Policy, You'll Love Marco Rubio's - Blue Nation Review

I am not really worried about who they pander to during election cycles. I am concerned with their ideas about the size and scope of government.

 

[carlos86]

Rubio is way more conservative than Bush.

Foreign aid, education, taxes. Those are just two examples.

Good grief Huff, is there one person they quoted in that article that isn't a raging left wing maniac (read Mother Jones contributions) or taking everything he says to extremes?

You're better than this. Read the links.

I would say that Rubio's foreign policy is more precise intellectual and decisive than Bush.

 

[n_huffhines]

He voted against Rand Paul's bill to end aid to Pakistan, Libya, and Egypt in 2012. W was a tax cutter too. He was still big .gov

Wait until he's POTUS. W campaigned as a small government conservative and criticized Clinton for too many foreign interventions, IIRC.

Dude I like Rand too but stop drinking the Kool-Aid, he's out, gone, done. Concentrate on who actually has a chance to win and think about what the best option out there is. Rubio/Kasich are the best viable options.

Rubio co sponsored the Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act in 2013.

Stop supporting terrible politicians because they are the least of evils.

You realize that Amendment was defeated by a vote of 81-10?

Stop acting like Rubio was the swing vote on that.

IDG how that makes him different from W, especially since he supports aid?

 

[hog88]

Kasich is far more qualified to be VP than those two ladies.

Does VP qualifications really matter? Hell qualifications hasn't mattered for POTUS the last couple of decades.
