It's hard to call this a left-wing media attack - when it's groups of hispanic republicans who are upset...
“He is a laughing stock in the Southwest … because people discovered he wasn’t telling the truth about his political Cuban exile history,” said DeeDee Garcia Blase, founder of Somos Republicans, a Scottsdale, Ariz.-based GOP group that backs a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. “They are saying, at the end of the day, ‘He is just like us. His mom and dad came here; they migrated because of economic reasons, just like the rest of us.’”
The controversy about when — and under what circumstances — his family arrived in the U.S. has proved to be the first major test for the rising GOP star as he transitions from Sunshine State politics to the national stage, where the exile experience that he’s embraced doesn’t resonate among non-Cuban Hispanics as much as it does in the quaint cafes and bustling streets of Little Havana.

He certainly threw a little hissy fit over it when he got called out about it.

It's indefensible. No confusion, nothing. He told both stories in public. It's good to see so many repubs won't stand for this kind of of bullshit from their candiddates.

Yet you never say a word about demos staying silent and putting up w obamas lies.
Good job spinning as always.

I thought for sure i said obama and holder belong in a cell.

Please. Obamas lies and distortions started from even before he was elected and you cheered him on the entire time and NEVER SAID A WORD ABOUT DEMOCRATS PUTTING UP WITH OBAMAS BULLSHIT.
Again - typical double standards you have.

180 can only use what MSNBC feeds him, and they cant spin Obama into a positive anymore... so this is what he is left with.

all dems suck. obama is a liar. happy?
now, aside from your effort to justify rubio's obvious lies with "Obama does it too..."
What do you think about the messiah VP choice lying about such a thing as being the son of cuban exiles? fcked up?

If you think this, then why do you only start threads bashing republicans?
The truth is you fell for the "Hope and Change" BS, and you just cant admit it to yourself and others that you wee fooled.

We are all on a sinking ship right now, and instead of looking at who the Captain is, and what he is doing, and where he is taking us, you are bitching about what some waiter said was the year his Parents immigrated to the USA.

I'm tougher on my own kids than I am on the neighbor's kids.
I know the dems are shite and they don't get my vote. However, I'd like to see the RIGHT repubs get into office. Ron Paul, KBH, and yes, even Jeb, who I am a big fan of.
Not the wet-behind-ears liars like Rubio (who is pretty much a GOP version of hope-n-change obama), getting into power using lies about his heritage and offering no solutions other than "change!"
I'm voting repub in 2012 no matter what. I just hope it's for a ron paul/some unknown financial wizard ticket... not Perry/Rubio or some weak shit like that, which Obama will defeat.

I'll address that. Ron Paul has been right about just about everything, and would be an ideal captain.
Perry is an emotion, reactive person who subscribed to democrat belief system until it was convenient to change to GOP to run for office - He doesn't seem to be all that bright to be honest - that rambling where he tried to put together a sentence against romney was embarassing. I DO NOT think he'd be a good captain of the ship.
Romney - I do believe that while he's phony and just trying to squeak into office- he does have the intelletual HP for it.
Rubio? He's an empty suit. He was shady as shit in FL, and got into office by being a 'change' guy. He attacked obama on libya for not winning fast enough? He's a kid, plain and simple. I don't want him at the wheel when G20 decides to dump the buck.
Jeb - wise and cool and experienced - would give us a strong america.

Rubio is not running for President. He matters zero right now, ZERO !!!
But keep spinning, as it is all you have left.
-
he does matter - he is brought up most as the likely vp candidate, in the hope he'd deliver fl and some hispanic vote. he's very relevant.

You being so bothered and upset over Rubio being off by a few years, then you must have been really bothered by Obama telling lies about his Father being in WWII or his Uncle, but yet when that came out a few years ago, zero threads started by you on it...

I was actually an openly admitted birther long before 333386 even had the courage to come out of the kenyan college. He was still flirting with "i'm no birther, but this sure is fishy..."
I've said from minute 1 that his ass is illegally president. However, I dont think he loses his job to a perry.

Really?
i disagree with RPaul on this issue. but we all disagree with the candidates we like on at least 1 issue.
i disagree with RPaul on this topic.
Want more?
-
RPaul is right about the biggest issue - overeextending ourselves globally with miliary and aid.
you cut that, and many problems domestically end.
james, I'm sure there is no canddiate that you agree with 100% of the time. You choose the one you think will help america the most. I pick ron paul. Who do you pick?

wtf! You support all the new wars!
once we're in them, I support my country.
I support killing any bad guy that fcks with us.
I don't support bombing just to keep the military companies rich$$$
I think Ron Paul would nuke the fck out of any country that messes with us.
But he'd also get us out of this 'empire' mindset that is bankrupting us.

Ron Paul is the exact opposite of Obama, yet you have been knee padding Obama non stop on here, or at least heavily until recently. And now all the sudden, you are for the exact opposite?
180, you are a joke now, honestly.
-
Ron Paul is the exact opposite of Obama, yet you have been knee padding Obama non stop on here, or at least heavily until about 6 months ago. And now all the sudden, you are for the exact opposite?
I agree with obama on some things, sure. I disagree with repubs on some issues. Definitely. Nobody is 100% in agreement with the extremists on either side, unless they're an extremist too.
I feel that RPaul would end the empire mindset... being home the troops, build up american business, and turn us back into a powerhouse.
Obama, mittens, and others are rearranging dek furniture on the titanic. Ron Paul would turn the boat around before it hits the iceberg. I disagree with many of his policies and beliefs - but turning that damn boat around before we hit the iceberg that Mitt and Obama are running at full speed ahead at...
to me, that's why ron paul is the captain I want.
You didnt answer - who is your candidate, james?

Obama "ain't built" to be working on the ship (and it now shows)... yet you have knee padded for him as our Captain for the last 3 years...

that was my emotional response to bush pretty much letting 911 happen. i'm past that now.

Last week, the Washington Post attacked Marco Rubio for “misrepresenting” his family’s story. The Post got called out by other newspapers for the Post’s egregious truth stretching to make its story fit. In the quotes the Washington Post cited, the reporter misrepresented the context of Marco Rubio’s remarks. It was true that Rubio had gotten some details wrong. But it was also very clear that they were the innocent mistakes of a son retelling his parents’ story. It was also true the Washington Post got parts of its reporting wrong.
But the Washington Post has not stopped. Now the paper is back at it premising a new article on the last story without nothing the Washington Post itself got key elements of its story wrong. This time, the Washington Post wants to make the case that Marco Rubio could be a risky Vice Presidential pick for the GOP.
Seriously.
We have a President of the United States who, for twenty years, worshiped in Jeremiah Wright’s church, had his house paid for by Tony Rezko, claimed his uncle freed Jews at Auschwitz, snorted cocaine, and got other key biographical details wrong and the Washington Post never seemed to think he was too risky.
The other angle of attack in the Washington Post is defending Univision’s smear of Rubio’s family. Marco Rubio refused to do an interview with the very liberal leaning network. After Rubio refused to do the interview, Univision ran a report on Marco Rubio’s brother-in-law being arrested 24 years ago for drug trafficking. Univision denies a connection and argues about the time line.
But somehow, according to the Washington Post, these two incidents make Rubio risky. There really is more of a story here than the Washington Post lets on.
Everyone knows that despite Rubio’s denials he is every Republican’s first choice for Vice President. The left cannot abide the first Hispanic Vice Presidential candidate being a Republican. The Democrats expect to have the black vote locked up in 2012 and they want the Hispanic vote locked up too. That would be made more difficult with Rubio on the Republican ticket.
So the left is using the Washington Post to attack Rubio now, just as the Obama Administration has begun attacking Mitt Romney now. The calculus is that Romney will be the nominee and Rubio the veep pick. Consequently, the left is on the attack now trying to damage Rubio’s reputation as much as possible. CNN reports the Democrats even have a PAC run by a former Harry Reid staffer engaged in this.
The Democrats are deathly afraid of what Marco Rubio as the GOP’s Vice Presidential nominee could do to Obama’s re-election chances and the long term fortunes of the Democrats within the Hispanic community. The Washington Post is running the Democrats’ attacks for them as part of the left.
Each attack shows just how scared of Marco Rubio the Democrats really are.
And they should be.

Don't know much about Rubio, but this is one dumb non-issue. Liberal hacks really do latch on to some real stupid stuff trying to attack any conservative who might be a threat.

What the GOP needs is a clear contrast to Obama and his pro capitalist policies. I recommend bribing Hugo Chavez with an offer of citizenship and a constitutional dictator for life amendment if he defeats Obama in 2012. Put Chavez and Alec Baldwin as Prez and VP= Easy GOP victory in 2012
-
the only defense for Rubio lying is, "here are ten things worse about obama".
That's like me running over an old lady at a crosswalk while driving drunk, and actually trying to tell the judge it's okay because another drunk driver killed a family of 7, and that there's really no point addressing my actions.

Rpaul always lets the US Constitution get in the way of his emotion.
I think if Obama was drone bombing 10 americans each day, more ppl would come around to Rpaul's way of thinking.
But just a few, no worries.

This is true....strict constitutionalists just seem to be very technical and inflexible.....this is why RP never gets the votes when it comes to actually voting...he's like your visiting uncle who still makes all his life decisions based upon what he learned in the 1930's
-
The problem is that once you 'bend' the constitution - it's already broken.
if RPaul lets obama kill ONE american without trial or legal procedings, then he endorses Obama killing 100 Americans each day, as he sees fit without any legal proceedings. Whoever this bad guy was - He was at the pentagon in the days before 911, remember? ;)

I'm kind of lost on this whole Rubio thing. You can find signs of the Cuban revolution as early as 1952 but because some reporter with a history of lying said it was 1959 we have to take it as so?
In other news, politicians lie and the sky is blue.

they said they fled castro. but they left 3 years before castro took over.
then, it appears they went back to make those dollars, when catro was there, coming and going freely.
Sounds like they were upper class connected higher-ups, which is cool - but he sure shouldn't be telling a story about them being exiles, fleeing the evil castro. He was playing the victim to get that FL hispanic vote.
Trouble is, in 2006, he told his story the OTHER way, admitting they left before castro came into power.
