Another one on Rubio

Funny, mainstream media has a habit to spin facts (surprise) and make fiction into facts. Most recently, the NYT did a story on the Florida's senate race and the candidates. The NYT reports that Marco Rubio is the candidate of the Tea Party and 9/12 memberships with endorsements from both.
Fact is, they are not for profits, thus cannot endorse any candidate, only educate their membership on where each candidate stands. After contacting several leaders in both groups, non to date have endorsed Rubio, it is a fabricated story. Why isn't the Rubio people clearing up this rumor? Perhaps because they lack ethics like their candidate.
Just a thought. Remember, if the NYT builds up a candidate, chances are the candidate is not good for America, thus Rubio is just another insider packing his pockets with the taxpayers money.

Marco Rubio, lobbyist

Marco Rubio, lobbyist
former House Speaker Marco Rubio and U.S. Senate candidate was a Miami-Dade County lobbyist from 1997 (when he was a West Miami Commissioner) until 2005. By then, he secured the needed votes to become House Speaker. Also that year, he reported a new salary of $300k with his new firm, Broad & Cassel, which has had dozens of clients who do business with the state.
Rubio never talked about his lobbying and that's because, his campaign said, he wasn't really a lobbyist. He was a lawyer representing clients best interest, a lobbyist?
The reason Marco Rubio never spoke about his “lobbying” is because he was never a “lobbyist,” in the Tallahassee-influence-peddling sense of the word that Charlie Crist is all too familiar with,' said campaign spokesman Alex Burgos, who has way more to say on this below****.
Still, it's called a lobbyist registration by Miami-Dade. So the 'L' word is tough to avoid, though early stories on him running for the Legislature in 1999 merely identified as commissioner and a lawyer.
His entire bio underscores that Rubio, despite his supporters describing him as an outsider in his race against fellow Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, is a consummate insider. Consider: City commissioner, lawyer, lobbyist*, one-time Republican Party of Florida American Express card holder, top echelon House leader and, ultimately, House Speaker, Jeb Bush sword-of-Chang bearer."
Fact is, when you live in glass houses, you should not throw stones. Rubio tossed one at Crist, now it is time to break some glass.

Rubio ducks "Credit Card Gate"

"Rubio swipes at Crist, ducks other ?s

Former House Speaker and U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio, with the mojo of a strong fundraising quarter and rising poll numbers behind him, did not shy from swiping at Gov. Charlie Crist, his opponent for the Republican primary, during a speech before reporters this morning.
Rubio, at an AP event in the Capitol, said Crist 'cut the legs out from under' the GOP by endorsing President Barack Obama's federal stimulus package last year. Rubio said Crist was not informed enough about the money, and he did a disservice to the rest of the GOP's attempts to limit government.
'When Charlie Crist lined up behind the stimulus package, he cut the legs out from every other Republican who was trying to find an alternative,' Rubio said.
Rubio also demurred from offering specifics on what he knew, if anything, about the $6 million for an airport hangar that has gotten his successor, former Speaker Ray Sansom, in trouble. Rubio said it is still an 'active case, and I want to respect that.'
'I knew what every other member of the Legislature knew, and that is what the line item in the budget said,' Rubio said.
He also said the RPOF credit cards and questions of whether they should be released are 'an internal party matter.' But he said he is 'troubled by the party and the direction it has been going.'
He said Sen. John Thrasher and Sharon Day are 'both qualified people' to succeed longtime RPOF chairman Jim Greer, who recently announced he is resigning."
