"Sen. Marco Rubio, a vice presidential short-lister."
--------------------------
That they are even CONSIDERING Rubio as a VP running mate is depressing! Marco Rubio’s parents were NOT U.S. citizens therefore he is NOT eligible to be POTUS or VEEP. If he is a true patriot and supporter of the Constitution, he will immediately call a press conference and announce that he is not a ‘natural born citizen’ because his parents were not U.S. citizens and that he cannot accept any invitation to join a presidential ticket. For more eligibility info, see: http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2011/06/24/minor-v-happersett-is-binding-precedent-as-to-the-constitutional-definition-of-a-natural-born-citizen/.
Help me make that happen. Go to http://rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contact Tell Rubio that you expect him to do the right thing so that we can both fix the constitutional crisis we currently face and forever prevent another from occurring. This problem should have been resolved following Chester A. Arthur’s administration when it was discovered that his father was not a U.S. citizen when Chester was born – but it wasn’t. Let's finally put this question to rest.
If Rubio will stand tall and make that announcement, it would immediately shine a spotlight on Barry's ineligibility and force the SCOTUS/Congress to act. Help me make that happen! It will only take a couple minutes - please do it now!

Didn't Perry say that Texas came first?
Paul Smith via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Don't know what he said but he sure hasn't governed that way.

If his answer was "never anything but no", why didn't he just shut down all the rumors instead of waiting? I don't get it.

They should because the univision Mexicans are a bunch of crooks and anyone supporting them are crooks too.

a vote for Perry is a vote for the KKK

This is a liberal channel and I would not have nothing to do with it. All they are going to do is play games I know we will ot watch the debate.
