Jeb Bush Endorses Rubio in Fla. Senate Race

Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is endorsing Marco Rubio's campaign for U.S. Senate.

Bush, still popular and influential with Florida Republicans, has long been rumored to be a Rubio backer, but his endorsement comes less than a week after Gov. Charlie Crist decided to run as an independent rather than face Rubio in the GOP primary.

Bush says Rubio is a passionate, principled leader who wouldn't change his views when political winds shift.

Rubio says Bush has been an inspiration to him, saying, "Gov. Bush's service to Florida is immeasurable, as is his impact on my own life and career."

Bush and the former House speaker will appear together Friday and a Pasco County Republican dinner.

Bush says Rubio is a passionate, principled leader who wouldn't change his views when political winds shift.

It isn't about "HIS POLITICAL VIEWS." It's about the views of the constituents. He's not to go to the Senate to make decisions FOR the people...he's to go there to to make the decisions OF the People known!! These politicians have completely forgotten their purpose and their duties!!

This should definitely clear up any confusion regarding where Rubio stands on illegal immigration. Personally, I can't see Jeb Bush supporting anyone that does not support some kind of path to legalization for illegal aliens. If I'm right, this is a shame, because now Florida really doesn't have a good candidate for Governor. However, with that said, Rubio still may be the only logical choice left. I guess you could call him the lesser evil.

It's very disheartening that folks who support the rule of law, where illegal immigration is concerned, seldom have a solid candidate to vote on during the elections. How do we break a cycle that contuinously repeats itself? Am I naive in my belief that not enough folks are taking an interest in the direction their country is headed?

Like we needed more evidence that Rubio is a sellout traitor against the people of the united states.

Rubio attacked Arizona for standing up to illegal aliens and now he is being embraced by the Bush's.

George Bush, Jeb Bush, and Rubio can all rot in the same prison cel one day soon.

We are between a rock (Crist) and a

hardplace (Rubio) here in Florida.
