Birthers say Marco Rubio is not eligible to be president

[DemocratSinceBirth]

WASHINGTON — Unable to prevent Barack Obama from becoming president, rigid followers of the Constitution have turned their attention to another young, charismatic politician many think could one day occupy the White House.

The birthers are calling for U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, the budding Republican star from Florida.

"It's nothing to do with him personally. But you can't change the rules because you like a certain person. Then you have no rules," said New Jersey lawyer Mario Apuzzo.

1. Uh-Oh.

More dark clouds on the GOP horizon.

2. Their Reasoning Is Flimsy

If you were born in America you are an American, according to the Constitution. I don't care if your parents were from Mars.

5. Heard this earlier today on the radio.

Birthers are after Rubio because his parents didn't flee Cuba because of Castro; Bautista was president when they came to the US.

6. The Cuban Elites Knew Bautista's Days Were Numbered

3. How about we disqualify birthers from serving in any public office?

They are too insane.

4. Are these the same people that railed about Obama?

I wonder if they just may be some pranky Dems tweaking the issue to cause trouble. I find this hilarious, especially as Rubio is a contender for a Mitt Pick, along with his other "illegal alien" problems.

If i weren't so lazy (and on my second glass of wine), I would do the homework myself, but I know DU will do it anyway.

7. He's been on the tee vee all day saying over and over

"Obama failed in Libya, he should have gone sooner." And the anchor models just let him rant.

8. I Was Wondering When This Was Going To Appear Here... This Morning

it was on our local news, but I heard about it before. The big story here is that THEY will probably just "pan" it because it's one of their own! Jebby's chosen golden boy will have so much backing it'll make your head spin.

Would be really, really nice if he got treated like Obama, but don't hold your breath! Too many Repukes in Florida will do all they can to make it ALL GO AWAY!

However, Tweety did make mention of it on his show earlier. Maybe, maybe, maybe... oh well, we'll see.
