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."

Obama's continued failures
It behoves me to think how much money Obama has spent on pet projects when our countries economy remains in the dumper. It is not governments job to create jobs, but it is governments job to stimulate job development and growth. However, this administration has failed miserably on anything involved with the economy.
Our amazing leader had another setback this week. He failed to secure the Olympics to his crime ridden hometown, Chicago. Yep, the leader of the free world took out the big guns including Oprah (not referring to her size) and flew them around the world on the taxpayers tab costing many millions to beg for the Olympics.
When is this "intelligent" person going to focus on the US and not traveling around the world apologizing for the US? Both him and his socialist agenda has done more damage in the first eight months of office than his hero Jimmy Carter, another failure.
As an American, 2012 will not come fast enough to get someone in the White House that will lead America and not the anti American rhetoric that Obama and co are famous for.

Me running for office?
I am having a little more time to contribute my thoughts to this blog. Being a full time parent, employee and student tends to detract my focus from telling it like it is. Over the next few post, I will be talking about my observations on why the Republican Party is going to fail in 2010 and it is not the fault of real Conservatives, but the RINO's that line up to run for office.
Yesterday I touched on Marco Rubio, a senate wanna be to replace the last failure in Florida, Mel Martinez. Rubio will not only be a failure, but will side up with the liberal left on immigration. He is an open borders guy and will allow more illegals to flow into the US and also offer them the free rise others are on. Enough said about him at this time.
Today, we will discuss Carol Whitmore, Manatee County Florida District 6 Commissioner. It is official, she is running again. Yes folks, four more years of the same.....NOTHING. Remember, "she is a nurse and her husband is a doctor", quoted from one of the recorded CC meetings. She got in last time because of her campaign manager (Big Red) and the dirty tactics to slander the opposition with skewed facts.
Like an idiot, I allowed her to join in studio on one Saturday. This is when I actually had a little respect for Big Red (her campaign manager). But I was lied to and was told it was a friend of hers, Linda failed to release the fact she was a paid campaign person. I think you understand why I am going in this direction. I do not like being lied to and then use my show for a free campaign plug.
Anyways, Carol Whitmore / Whitless has done nothing but sided with her friends the developers causing increases in taxes and decrease in improvements for the community. Her lack of researching prior to a vote and always siding with her buddies has caused much damage to Manatee County Florida.
As I always say, perhaps it is time to wake up and take out the trash. If you support Carol and her slanderous campaign manager, you support more of the same, NOTHING. Maybe it is time that Craig Bachler runs for Manatee County Commissioner District 6!
