1. And packs the clown car.

2. You'd think at least Chris Christie would find this interesting

[Beacool]

19. Funny, I was wondering why Christie was riding the *PATH train.

*PATH train: subway that connects NJ with NY, it crosses under the Hudson river. One line ends at the World Trade Center, the other one ends a block away from 34th St. and Macy's.

5. K & R

WE CAN'T AFFORD RUBIO, WATER AIN'T CHEAP & HE'LL COST US A FORTUNE $, ESP. WHEN SPEAKING PUBLICALLY & VERY THIRSTY.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

10. Oh my, so that's why the 'dehydration'...

[Cyrano]

6. Rubio will not get the Hispanic vote.

That may sound counter intuitive, but here's my post from yesterday that explains the difference between Cuban Americans and virtually all other Hispanic Americans.

7. I got a great campaign slogan for him....

Marco Rubio--He's No Jack Kennedy!

I get the impression that he cribbed rather liberally (cough, hee hee) from some of JFK's speeches about new ideas, etc.

8. your vote counts

Typical American voter, bet he's thinking about how great it will be to goi home and watch FOX news all night.

12. Marco Rubio: A new and improved right wing psychopath product

Yes folks, our new GOP product is now new and improved with the revolutionary additive Clowno. Yes, now you can buy a new and improved misogyny, a new and improved racism, a new and improved homophobia, a new and improved anti-science, a new and improved climate change denial, a new and improved corporate laissez faire, a new and improved Wall Street greed, a new and improved trickle down economics, a new and improved tax cuts for the rich, a new and improved global war for the military-industrial complex...

Yes ladies and gentlemen, come buy the brand new youthful Marco Rubio product that is brand new and offers such brand new ideas. Did I say it's brand new?

13. Our local Fox affiliate

was running a two-minute news story about how he represents the "new conservatives" and how Obama wants to turn the clock backwards. I rolled out of the lunch room laughing out loud when I saw this cat state that he was going to put a stop to it since he lives in the present.

14. Is it not the RWNJs who are doing their damnedest...

...to go back in time? We are certainly not going to see any Republican campaign messages supporting marriage equality of women's reproductive rights, so just who does Rubio think he is fooling?

[captainarizona]

16. another angry white man announces

I haven't seen the american people crying out for another angry old or middle aged rich white man to lead america have you?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. probably angry old white guys crying out.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Yikes he's got big thighs. Don't forget he lied about his parents

fleeing Castro before Castro in power. This is amazing that he can
run for president after that lie.

[appalachiablue]

20. That Rubio lie doesn't escape me either, what a whopper-

[Initech]

21. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

22. I find this really offensive

We don't know what this man's story is. Maybe he's exhausted after working the second shift so could care for his family. Maybe he's down on his luck. Maybe he sat all night at the bedside of a dying loved one. We don't know, but I do find it offensive that this man's photo is used to generate political laughs: "Marco Rubio is Running for President! America Reacts!" It's callous and insensitive.

I can't help but wonder how much ridicule he's endured from being used as a laughing stock and what pain it may cause him.

[SoapBox]

23. No Rubes for President.

[Scootaloo]

24. Well, to be fair to the snoozing guy, it's a pretty dull movie

[toddwv]

25. My first thought when I heard him say that...

He was going on and on about how Washington needs fresh faces.

Somebody should tell him that PNAC (Project for a New American Century) was already used by Cheny's ilk.
