Marco Rubio, another Mel Martinez?

The elections of 2008 proved one thing, the American public was sick of what we had in the Republican Party and was willing to try a new approach. Under George Bush, the demographics of American Society were challenged by the terror attacks of 9/11 caused by the Clinton Administration, challenging economic conditions (also caused by Clinton, IE: Commodity Futures Modernization Act of Dec 2000) as well as whining from the left.

Regretfully, the Republicans took the hit for this and some members rightfully so. Here in Florida, we had the poster boy for Hispanic Leadership, Mel Martinez who was hand picked by Bush to run in the soon to be open US Senate seat. The idea of Martinez in this position would encourage the large Hispanic population of Florida to sway towards the Conservative cause. What this actually did was drive a big divide through the population.

Martinez was an open borders type of guy. He supported Bush's agenda on allowing 28 million illegal immigrants the right to stay in America and even be allowed benefits that should only be given to honest, hard working AMERICANS.

Mel proved that the Republican Party is flawed because of his leftist views (even though he claims to be a Conservative) and his arrogant lack of accountability to the same public that voted him in. This is one of the reasons why we have a socialist in the White House and a Congress willing to take away the American dream from you and I.

Now in 2010, we are facing another opportunity to vote in more failure. We have the past Speaker of the Florida House throwing his hands into the ring. Marco Rubino, a former member of the Fl House and ousted because of term limits has decided to follow daddy Mel and try to jump into the US Senate with the hefty salary and great health care.

Funny part is, many Republicans can't identify any major legislation he was involved with and many didn't know who he was before announcing. This only proves he is another seat warmer like Martinez.

Some ask, why are you so bitter towards him? My answer is that the firm he hired to market him sent me an unsolicited e-mail asking for my support because of my radio show. My reply was, I am not supporting Rubino and remove me from your list. So, here is the kicker, I was told "I am sorry you are so narrow minded that you can’t handle different views. "
Funny part of it is that I handle different views on a daily basis, but I do not need some marketing person to tell me how to vote.

So, we have a chance to fix the situation, anybody but the recycled Crist and Rubino or we can continue the slide by voting one of these two wannabes and continue to complain about the state of the Country is. you make the choice, but do not be influenced because you were told who is best, do it by your choice, not the big money makers.
