@ Ed Perry, you need to go to one of Marco’s events and ask him about the Tenth Amendment. I and others have asked him if he supports the Tenth Amendment and he has said yes several times. Don’t listen to some BIMBO intern…

I called Rubio’s HQ last week and asked why he seems so reluctant to back a Tenth Amendment memorial from Florida to DC. The answer was just more hemming and hawing. Sorry. Rubio puts me between a rock and a hard place when it comes to my vote.

We have two choices in this race and whether Rudy backs one or the other it boils down to which one do YOU trust from your own perspective. Because Rudy is a social liberal and weak on gun rughts,how does that demean Rubio? By what logic can one decide to vote for Crist because Rudy endorsed Rubio? Commonsense has it right, above.

have you all forgot that Rudy is far,far left on 2nd amendment gun rights. Rudy is not doing anyone any good by endorsing them. Rudy…SHUT UP !!

Let’s see…Crist would have voted for the stimulus-porkulus bill if he had been in the Senate, along with Snowe,Collins of Maine and Spectre, a strong Rino, er,now democrat from PA.
So Crist fans just go ahead and vote Democrat in the General Election, you’ll be right at home.
The primary choice is Rubio,especially after all the mud Charlie is slinging.No Policy Charlie! Just personal attacks,just like a democrat!

People…just because Rudy endorses Marco doesn’t mean that Marco is anything like Rudy it just means Rudy intends to put his help behind him which will bring in more votes for Marco and more money for Marco which is needed for him to defeat Crist and finally Meek. Marco, who I know personally, is a man that is one of the brightest, most conservative, and one who cares about the people politician. In a response to one of the comments above about Marco not being in touch with the people, you’re so wrong. He traveled the state of Florida meeting with the people when he was Speaker listening to what the common everyday person had to say at town hall meetings. I know for I attended quite a few of them so I could hear what the people were saying as well. I live in the Panhandle of Florida and Marco has my VOTE! Let’s Get Our Country Back by voting for conservative people who listen to the people.

Here’s the thing to remember about Rudy for those who do not think he is conservative enough. When he was mayor he succeeded in persuading an extremely liberal and hostile city council and bureaucracy to adapt conservative policies.

A RINO would have met in the middle and allowed his policies to have been watered down, Giuliani stood firm, which in a sea of liberals is a very courageous and uncomfortable place.

Politics does make strange bedfellows, doesn’t it? If America is to be restored by the people we are going to have to lose these old “has beens”. I would have preferred that Rubio decline endorsements from political figures that have been part of the old system in favor of true Constitutionalists. Rudy’s endorsement just muddys the water and raises doubts about who Rubio will be loyal to. Believe me when I tell you that the old-line GOP liberals masquerading as “patriots” and “conservatives” will undercut our movement just like George H. W. Bush did with the Reagan Revolution. RINOs like Rudy are part of the problem we need a divorce from. To keep our house clean we need to keep the door closed to the dust outside. To me, this endorsement is one more negative indication that nothing significant is really going to change. The Tea Party is not just anti-Obama but is anti-old school GOP leadership! Rubio would have shown us more by standing with our movement and its people. I hope we are not being led to the slaughter – keep your guards up!

Lightweight you need to get your thoughts organized before rambling and get familiar with spell check. I have no idea what you were trying to say. The rest of the Now non voters need to get a grip. You are not voting for Giuliani – Marco is the candidate–different people, folks. Marco – more conservative; Giuliani less conservative on social issues, but very conservative and strong on all others that count. Giuliani is not the candidate and has nothing to do with Marco’s positions. Every NY reveres Rudy Giuliani. He was a hero on 9/11 and during his entire Mayoral term. He turned the city into a viable, safe and fiscally outstanding town. Marco Rocks and having Rudy’s endorsement should be and honor. If you want to vote for a guy that didn’t care about your high real estate taxes (like Marco did) and just got you another 33% increase in home insurance (probably in exchange for insurance co. donations) and higher rates for registrations to dog licenses, then go for it. But if you want someone who fought for lower taxes and put himself on the line to help Floridians and will help stop the Obamatrain from rolling over us – there is only one choice – MARCO RUBIO!!!!
