Marco Rubio Didn't Hug Obama, But He Would Have Taken His Stimulus Money

Categories: Politicks
The most effective and frequent bit in Marco Rubio's Senate campaign ads: that picture of Republican rival Charlie Crist embracing Barack Obama at a rally for the president's stimulus plan. 

Of course, every Republican governor ended up accepting money from the stimulus plan, including more colorful and conservative characters such as Rick Perry, Sarah Palin, and Bobby Jindal. 

So, would Rubio have taken stim funds? Well, duh. He just wouldn't have hugged Obama. As he tells the NBC station in Tampa Bay (via The Buzz): "Ultimately, I would have accepted those portions of the money that would not have put Florida in a worse position off in the future than it is right now." 

Wait, what does that even mean?

This comment is for the people in Florida that are going to vote in the 2010 election.

We can no longer afford to have career politicians in Washington. What we really is regular citizens that will do what is necessary and follow the Constitution. Rubio, Crist and Meek are all the same. They do not want you to have the freedom provided by the Constitution. They do not want to free you from the need of the federal government.

You will not hear about the other candidates running in the media but if you went to the division of elections website you can see.

I am Alexander Snitker. I am running for the US Senate as a Libertarian Candidate. I will END THE FEDERAL RESERVE and vote to return this country to a Non-interventionist Foreign Policy. Along with this I will make sure that The Fair Tax is passed, we get a balanced budget and establish term limits for congress. I do not hear any of these candidates taking a stand on all of these issues.

Do you want to just vote for the candidate that will tell you one thing and then do another or do you want to put a regular citizen in Washington. If we can show the rest of the country that Florida will put principles before party we can change this country forever.

We need to tear down the political class. VOTE SNITKER IN 2010

Thank you

REPUBLICANS AGAINST CRIST! says:

Please!!! I agree with Rubio. Sarah did it as well. Crist took all of the stimulus and went on stage with Obama! Marco says only take what is right for Florida. No big Deal. Crist is going to make it a big deal!

It is soo Obviuos that Rubios IQ is at least 50 points higher than Crists. Crist will hug Satan for political donations which is what he was after then day. For people like myself the issue of taking the money isnt important. Of Course any sane person would. THe issue is Crists Alren Spector Imitation means he is not trustworthy and will probable becoma a Democrat after losing the Primary!!
