Marco Rubio caught in HUGE, HUGE lie.

[CrusaderFrank]

Is this how hopeless Dems are? This is awesome! Rubio should be VP just for this!

From Rubio's weekly e-mail:


I now know that they entered the U.S. legally on an immigration visa in May of 1956. Not, as some have said before, as part of some special privilege reserved only for Cubans. They came because they wanted to achieve things they could not achieve in their native land.

And they stayed because, after January 1959, the Cuba they knew disappeared. They wanted to go back - and in fact they did. Like many Cubans, they initially held out hope that Castro's revolution would bring about positive change. So after 1959, they traveled back several times - to assess the prospect of returning home.

In February 1961, my mother took my older siblings to Cuba with the intention of moving back. My father was wrapping up family matters in Miami and was set to join them.

But after just a few weeks, it became clear that the change happening in Cuba was not for the better. It was communism. So in late March 1961, just weeks before the Bay of Pigs invasion, my mother and siblings left Cuba and my family settled permanently in the United States.

Soon after, Castro officially declared Cuba a Marxist state. My family has never been able to return.

I am the son of immigrants and exiles, raised by people who know all too well that you can lose your country. By people who know firsthand that America is a very special place.

My father spent the last 50 years of his life separated from the nation of his birth. Separated from his two brothers, who died in Cuba in the 1980s. Unable to show us where he played baseball as a boy. Where he met my mother. Unable to visit his parents' grave.

Thank you very much for sharing this.

The Florida political leader has always publicly identified as part of the Cuban exile community. His Senate website says his parents came to America following Fidel Castro’s 1959 takeover.

But media reports Thursday revealed they’d emigrated to the U.S. in 1956. Rubio’s father was a bartender and came for economic reasons. Castro wasn’t even in Cuba when they left.

Another Republican caught red handed, lying. Guess that means he won't be vice president. Not until people forget his lies.

It's like Republicans saying, "But half the country does't pay taxes" when EVERYONE pays sales tax and payroll tax.

You have to listen carefully to everything Republicans say. Even though it's all bullshit over and over again, they repeat the same lies so often, people start to believe them.

What other lies have they been caught saying, recently? Hmm, so many to choose from.

Wow....this was Huge Huge lie.

Unlike John Edwards (remember his sorry rear end....running mate of John Kerry), the guy who was out doing his mistress while his wife was home vomiting from chemo.

You really have to watch who ?

Is there some bizarre Wingnut (or Moonbat) disease where you think that pointing out a flaw in the other side erases the legitimate point that someone brought up about yours?

Oh, and I really love whenthe Crazy Right Wing (or people further to the right than I am, anyway) have suddenly canonized Liz Edwards as a martyr. When she was talking about two americans and wealth distribution, she was a socialist bitch. But now she's a poor victim because Edwards had something going on the side.

He knew before this that they came before Castro took power because he's on record saying it. He just had the misinformation on his senate bio.

And here he goes again dissing those that actually fled Castro.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Sorry, I can't get my fauxrage on for something that happened before the dude was even born.

Try later Deanie.

 

[Ravi]

He does sound like VP material, though, I'll give him that.

The Herald said Rubio has also said, at times, that his parents came to America before Castro took power. The times when he dramatically claimed otherwise are apparently shrugged off in the Herald account as part of Rubio's tendency to be a bit sloppy with details.

Details? Arriving here while fleeing Castro is no detail. It's the crucial fact, key to the story, the entire point.

That wasn't being sloppy. That was fudging facts to help create a politically useful identity. That he has sometimes told the truth only shows he knew better.

Rubio VP!!!

I think Obama Aunt Zeiti and Uncle Onyango could support Rubio

 

[NYcarbineer]

So I guess we should welcome any 'refugees' fleeing Mexico in anticipation that things there are probably going to get worse.

What exactly would be the difference then what we have today?

wth does it have to do with what he's done, doing and planning on doing?

We have plenty of liberal morons doing that now.

Conservatives wouldn't be obsessed with sending them back. That would be the difference.

 

[Lovebears65]

Rubio is a conservative, which means he's wrong on most major issues. That's what should matter most to anyone who isn't a conservative.

Vs the liberal side of gun running and drug smuggling.

But that doesnt matter to you.

PETTY BITCH ALERT...............

Hi, you have received -889 reputation points from jillian.
Reputation was given for this post.


If there ever was a petty bitch on this board it would be juliian the board freeloader.

Seldom has the guts to discuss any issue.

She loves giving out Neg .. She gave me one too.

Yeah, I know, pointing out that a Republican senator is a liar is old news.

 

[Listening]

That probably only describes about 5% of the current "flow" from Mexico.

]Yeah, I know, pointing out that a Republican senator is a liar is old news.

I have been on vacation....so I have not been watching.

But given the GRAVITY of this lie, I suspect that Rachael Maddow has devoted an entire week of her show to it.

Is she hasn't, there must be something less important (to us) for her to focus on that would replace it.

 

[mudwhistle]

The typical definition of Cuban exile down here is someone that fled Castro. So Rubio played fast and loose with the truth. Big deal.

Apparently his parents were illegal immigrants? Who cares.

That's a rationalization which is playing fast and loose with the facts.

Possibly. After 30 years of watching our government do nothing but exploit the plights..... I dont care anymore. The issue has shifted to democrats arming the criminals. They must really want the votes.
