Who really cares... A bit early aren't we?
 
I do. Both parties keep putting up people not even qualified to run.
 
Rubio isn't natural born. He was born in Cuba.

Marco Rubio biography

Born in Miami, Florida in 1971, Marco Rubio is the son of Cuban immigrants. After earning a bachelor's degree from the University of Florida in 1993, he went to the University of Miami for his law degree. Rubio's political career began with his election to the West Miami City Commission in 1998. He was elected in the Florida House of Representatives the following year. In 2009, Rubio won his campaign for the U.S. Senate.
 
He's a Natural Born Idiot

Dunno, Sangha. I heard he would be disqualified to run for president because he was a C-Section baby. That's not being naturally born either.... :lamo
 
Rubio isn't natural born. He was born in Cuba.

He was born in Miami to non-citizen parents.

I think he's fine, but if you're going to go with the definition of Natural Born Citizen that requires both parents to be citizens, neither of his were at the time of his birth.

Really? Interesting...

Got a bio or something substantial to support this?

Sidenote: I'm surprised Republicans laid off the Bobby Jindal for President randor. His natural born status would be an even worse birther issue that Pres. Obama's ever was.

Update: Republicans really don't to put Marco Rubio up for President. If you thought having one non-US citizen parent was a calling card for the birther conspiracy, just wait until he gets on the GOP ticket with TWO non-US citizen parents. (Unless they were nationalized, of course. Then its a different story. Jus soli for all the brown-skins!)
 
I'm just trying to turn the rationale back on the race carders. If Obama's only questioned because he has a foriegn sounding name or apparently ethnicity, then so is Marco Rubio.

Rubio is obviously a reaction to Obama. If the GOP hadn't said a damn thing about Obama, no one would be saying a thing about Rubio. The GOP brought this upon themselves.

Personally, I'm of the belief that the motivation for both is motivated primarily by partisan politics, not race.

Isn't it always?

Is there anything that Democrats are responsible for in your mind ever? Just curious.
 
They nominated Obama.

Apparently you missed my 4 years of stating Obama is Bush's 3rd Term.

So whatever you dislike about Obama's presidency is still really Bush's presidency?

In terms of policies, largely yes.

Which amuses me and disappoints me at the same time. People who hated Bush love Obama. And people who couldn't say one bad thing about Bush if their lives depended on it cannot stop trashing Obama. The appearance and letter behind the man has changed, but we still have much of the same policies. If anything, Obama has made taken some of the bad Bush policies and made them worse.

We are assassinating Americans without trial from above. Bush never pulled **** like that.

Where's the long form birth certificate??

I need to see a birth certificate. A certificate of live birth is unacceptable.
 
If Marco Rubio was of any other Latin American nationality, Conservatives would call him an anchor baby.

By the way, my wife is Cuban. So spare me the "you hate Cubans!" nonsense.

How is it congress took up the issue of Mc Cains NBC status then yet no one seems to mention Obamas . MC Cain isnt an NBC either and no act of congress can make him one.

Want to explain the level of press that got? McCain's NBC issue was a tiny blimp on the political radar in 1999~2000.
