A serious factual error in item #1 -- Rubio's parents left Cuba well *before* Castro came to power. They left in 1956 -- while Batista (an ally of the U.S.) was president until 1959, when he was overthrown by the Communist revolutionaries who brought Castro to power. Batista was anti-Communist (but also a brutal and corrupt dictator). Nonetheless, it's incorrect to say that Rubio's parents fled Cuba after Fidel Castro's takeover since they fled 3 years prior to Castro's takeover.

This is something I do NOT understand. So many of these Tea Party supporters come from working class families. I would imagine this guy's parents need Social Security and Medicare to survive. I heard him yesterday spouting out the party line and still cannot connect the dots. He must be getting plenty of money from the Corporations, the Banks, the Koch Bros., otherwise why would he be knocking the very things that his parent's depend on. Ambition. Screw the parents.

His parents were Cuban exiles for crying out loud. And he wants to deny immigrants a right to become American citizens? He's a jerk. Certainly not presidential material...especially when he's a tea toting rethug.

Not qualified as "Narural Born" to be Presient. Parents Cuban, fled cuba after Fidel Castro's takeover.

The University of Florida degree in Political Science is not a BS, it would be a BA. More questions regarding Mr. Rubio, everywhere you turn there are questions about this gentleman but few answers.

I think he would make a great president. He's the qualifications, and the record, and anyone that runs on American exceptionalism has got my vote!!

Rubio now has a chance to demonstrate his leadership in the US Senate as he has in the State Senate. He is a strong young leader who does not accept "politics as usual". This his chance to help change the mess that is overwhelmed the American Taxpayer, Small Business, and the future tax burden of our grandchildren.
