GOP Candidate: Rubio Should Be “Ashamed” For Not Backing Arizona Law

[ccharles000]

It isn’t every day that an aspiring GOP candidate positions himself to the right of Marco Rubio and whacks the Tea Party darling as a squishy liberal, but that’s exactly what Allen West of Florida, who’s vying to unseat Dem Rep Ron Klein, did in an interview.

West, speaking to Sirius Satellite Radio, tore into Rubio, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, and the national Republican Party for not fully backing the Arizona imimigration law. He claimed Rubio and Bush should be “ashamed” of themselves and suggested they were content to let America slide into “lawlessness.”

“The national Republican party is not coming out and being supportive of the governor of Arizona and standing with her,” West said. “If we do not stand for the rule of law, if we do not stand for America as a constitutional republic, if we believe in lawlessness and the breakdown of society, who are we as a party?”

West singled out Rubio and Jeb Bush for not voicing support for the law: “That is absolutely the wrong position and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing that.” Audio here.

1. Considering that Rubio happens to BE one of those "brown people"

that Arizona wants to throw out, I'm not surprised that even his retarded teabaggery can't support this one.

2. And so it begins. Rubio is about to get the Wake up call Paul Mooney talks about. NT

3. Rubio now has to pander to the far right AND moderate Republicans in FL...

now that Crist is running as an NPA. My prediction is that it's going to come back and bite him in the ass, causing him to lose more Republicans to Crist than originally predicted.

4. Isn't Allen West one of the Black teabaggers running for Congress? The one Palin endorsed? n/t

5. Yep

He lost 2 years ago - now he's back for another round against Klein.
