Marco Rubio

I saw Marco Rubio speak this morning. There were about 300 of us in attendance.

I was impressed with everything he said. He is a great example of what's happening in our "body politic" right now, which is that...

... the antibodies are starting to fight back and defend the "body" against its attackers!

There are "Marco Rubios" all over the nation running for public office at all levels of government. There are also bloggers and other "alternative" sources of information getting in the game... many for the first time.

It's a very good sign. I think people realize this 2010 election is more important than any they've ever lived through. If we didn't know it before, the last year has brought that into crystal-like clarity.

I was hoping and believing it would.

You can tell a LOT about someone from the little moments. Two things stood out for me about Rubio.

1. He opened it up to Q and A, and his answers were unscripted, thorough and detailed, AND perfectly in sync with rock-solid conservative (Originalist) principles. Watching someone think so well on their feet, and articulate such deeply developed answers is impressive and very heartening. It's easy to tell this is WHO he is; it's not just platitudes served up to cater to an audience.

2. The other insight was his calling out of President Obama for his very revealing and different treatments of Iran and Honduras in the last year.

In Iran, Obama ignored the human rights uprising that took place last Spring, giving it no moral support at a time when American support could have helped them take major steps towards liberating themselves from a tyrannical regime.

In Honduras, Obama threw his support behind Zelaya's attempt to usurp the Honduran Constitutional process and hold on to power in dictatorial fashion.

So... in BOTH cases, Obama supported dictators at the expense of the people.

This is a real-world case study of Obama, and says all about him we need to know.

Thank you Marco Rubio for highlighting this when others aren't!

I encourage all of my Florida readers to vote for Marco Rubio.
