MASTER MARCO: too cute by half?

Sarah Palin Redux??

Charlie Rose got his hands on Rubio last night, for the hour.  If you missed it, Google it.  Charlie "vetted" the little fast-talker much more than I've seen anyone else do.  Rubio squirmed, ducked, lied a lot, and pretended to speak for "Hispanics" and for "Cubans" and Cuba; speaking very differently about each.  McCain might have been spared a lot if someone like Charlie had done the same with Palin before she was "sprung" on us, full blown, so to speak, by the Yin Yang Media.

When under intense pressure, fast-talking liars and politicians (I sometimes stutter) let strange truths slip out.  Charlie asked pointed questions about when Rubio's parents, and grandparents, enterered this country, returned to Cuba, and then re-entered this country.  When asked when his grandfather returned, Rubio responded "in 1963, just before the Cuban Missile Crisis".

As a young Air Force 2nd Leiutenant, making $2,223.32 per year, my wife and I and our newborn son were stationed at Fort Meade, Maryland in 1962; quite sure we were witnessing our last days.

President Kennedy and his brother, Robert, saved our lives, while countering the pressures of dangerous jerks like Curtis LeMay and others of the Extreme Right.  So, you can see that I take it quite personally that this upstart, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, doesn't know when the Cuban Missile Crisis took place!

Marco danced all over the place, refusing to challeng Mitt's stands on immigration, defending the Tea Party, and pointing fingers in all directions with blame for our fiscal and monetary mess.  He contradicted himself as to whether he does or does not speak for "all Hispanics". 

He seems to think that Hispanics in the United States all "came here" as immigrants.  He defends Arizona's draconian Immigration Legislation.  He doesn't have a clue, it seems, that the original

 "Hispanics" in the Southwest never crossed any borders!  The border was drawn under terms of  the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo in 1848!  Even the Cubans, as he states, differ in party affiliation because of the politics where they settle.  Cubans in New Jersey are Democrats, while those in Miami are Republican. Rubio claims to be a center-right, Constitutional conservative.

I spent two years in Miami, living at the Claughton Island end of "Calle Ocho".  I worked with many groups through their separate Chambers of Commerce.  It is a highly complex and divided political territory.  It would be interesting to find someone in our Media who had the "cahones" to find Elian Gonzales, who should be somewhere in his twenties now, and put the same questions about Cuba to him.

I believe you should pose your questions to people who know what they're talking about!

Stay Vigilant!
