BUT DOES THIS “CONSERVATIVE” DESERVE YOUR PRESIDENTIAL CONSIDERATION?

By FITSNEWS || U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio will get a chance to make his pitch to “Republican” leaders in early-voting South Carolina this week.

The Florida Senator – whose commitment to freedom and free markets isn’t quite as strong as we initially thought – is the main draw at a S.C. “Republican” fundraiser being held on behalf of U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (and the 2014 “Republican” victory fund).

Since Scott is enjoying an insurmountable lead in the polls over his Democratic opponent with less than two weeks to go before the election, let’s call this event what it really is: An early “Rubio for President” audition.

How will he do?

Well … let’s just hope he provides better answers to direct questions than, um, well … THIS.  And better attacks on leading Democratic contenders than THIS.  Because our guess is he’s going to have to dig a little deeper on all fronts.

Let’s also hope the “neoconservative” (a.k.a. warmonger) has a good excuse for supporting the recent escalation of hostilities in the Middle East – where the United States seems intent on chasing good money after bad ($4-6 trillion worth of “bad,” to be precise).

Seriously … does he support (another) thirty-year war against “radical Islam?”

Oh, and those market-distorting, taxpayer-funded special interest sugar subsidies … does he still support those?

Hmmmm …

We also expect the state’s lazy and incurious legacy media to pepper Rubio with questions about gay marriage and the Confederate flag.

Anyway, the Rubio event begins at 12:00 noon EDT today (October 22) and is taking place at 320 Senate Street (here).  Tickets are $25 and are available here.

Following his address at the GOP event, Rubio will reportedly stop by the S.C. State House to address a gathering of the student legislature (which it’s worth pointing out is infinitely more mature than the actual legislature).

Rubio isn’t the only “conservative” making South Carolina stops in recent weeks … U.S. Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz have also planted their Palmetto flags, with Paul staking out a “big tent” vision for the GOP and Cruz focusing his attention on the socially conservative South Carolina Upstate.

Does anyone care about these possible candidates for Pres? Warmed over has-beens and arrogant upstarts getting rich and powerful off special interest groups pushing their selfish agendas.

More of the same. Sadly, more of the same.

Yes, it is two years too early. Those who take a position or claim a national run are peeing into the wind now.

For me Sen. Rubio has several positions, mostly on illegal/legal immigration, that rub me the wrong way. … And, with the exception of Ted (“Abolish The IRS”) Cruz, none of of these “chosen” on either major party side light my fires.

None light my fires, either. I struggle to remember when one ever did.

They game the system as well as or better than Democrats. Rubio missed his calling as a beautician .

Hey Rubio, piss off pissant. Not interested! Perhaps you and your pro-amnesty platform could find a job as Lindsey’s manservant or like, but we sure as hell don’t need you for prez.

President? Heck, he need to worry if after 2016 he’s even still a US Senator. After supporting immigration reform he’s thrown Latinos under the bus, in a state that is close to 28% hispanic (and in his neck of the woods its closer to 65%) – this guy is nothing more than a tape recording of the most recent focus group.

“United States seems intent on chasing good money after bad”

I’ve heard, “throwing” good money after bad. I’ve also heard of bad money “chasing” after good money. But never heard it put the way you suggest here FITS.

“(and the 2014 “Republican” victory fund).” The no show folks semi-coopting Tim Scott’s space in at least one parade this campaign season? Room for more infighting later is Hilarity Clinton pulls off a win. Therein I’m watching for a Dem’s low key stealth-ish campaign like Slick Willy’s to steal the nod.

He is better looking than all the candidates in line,thus far.It’s about time we have a handsome president,and since you can easily get in the doors to the White House,that sets my mind on fire.

Oh shit! I can see you becoming the Secret Service’s worst nightmare, now.

You never know,nowadays.It might be their best wet dream.
As for your question,it would depend on the dignitary and where the spooge came from…Hey,that could be FITS’ next multiple choice poll !
What politician,dignitary,etc, would you be willing to swallow for…?

I’ve known many conservative Cubans who know the value of Freedom. I don’t count Rubio among them. If there is such a thing as “the New World Order”, he would be a member for sure.
