Rubio rejects front-runner status

by Michael C. Bender | January 27th, 2010

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio brushed off a poll showing he was leading in a primary against Gov. Charlie Crist. “When you’re out-raised three or four to one, you’re not the front-runner.”

During a Q-and-A session with the state’s newspapers editors today, Rubio promised to be a voice of opposition in Washington against Obama’s agenda.

He said many of his bold ideas as House speaker — including a plan to eliminate property taxes and increase sales taxes — failed because he was speaker for only the final two of his nine years in office.

In the Senate, he said, he would have a six-year term.

“Sometimes good ideas take a lot of years,” he said.

    Check this out. Here is Marco Rubio posting on Twitter showing him buying a pig at a illegal slaughter farm in Miami. The same Slaughter farms you heard about on CNN that are killing horses, dogs, bunnies and goats.

    Why the hell did Marco post this picture and post it to Twitter, Clearly this is a illegal slaughter farm.
