How best to describe Rubio's upbringing???

[LiberalFighter]

Were his parents or grandparents the type that took whatever they could take at any cost when they lived in Cuba? They didn't care about others only about themselves?

1. they were Cuban exiles, so you already know the answer...

[LiberalFighter]

2. If his parents or grandparents can be shown to be corrupt back in Cuba

it needs to be detailed. Also, what if anything they did once they came to the USA that continued the corruption.

4. His Grandfather had polio as a child in Cuba

He wasn't able to get a physical labor job. He worked at a cigar making factory reading newspapers and books while workers worked. He was one of the few that could read and became self educated from his reading. He was the first in his family who could read. He also worked overtime by wrapping cigars... for extra income.

No skeletons there.

3. I don't know the answer. Educate me.

5. Are You Implying All Cuban Exiles Are Bad People?

If you are that's just not fair and if you aren't I apologize in advance for assuming you were.

Oh yeah, Rubio blows...

6. all Cuban exiles were right-wing ideologues

one left Cuba because one did not like Castro or communism, so they were right-wing ideologues by definition, and without exception.

One might as well argue that neo-Confederates in the South are not right-wing as much as argue Cuban exiles were something other than right-wing.

7. Liberalism Is The Opposite Of Totalitarianism Not Conservatism.

I was the only Anglo in a Cuban study group in my political science class and I can emphatically state they weren't all right wingers.

9. What an ignorant post.

8. Evidently, he was brought up to be a selfish asshole.

There you go.
