        A Cuban on the ballot means nothing to the general population of the
        Hispanic communit. other vs. Cubans: Is There A Double Standard On Illegal Aliens?

        The same Marco Rubio? That Talks Big but Fails to Deliver?

        everybody knows the "REAL MARCO RUBIo"

        as House speaker when he spent nearly $400,000 on office renovations.

        Spented thousands with GOP credit card

        Rubio's 2010 senate campaign was fined $8,000 by the Federal
        Elections Committee for receiving "prohibited, excessive and other
        impermissible contributions totaling $210,173.09."

        Before the March 2000 session, Rubio was hardly the scorching
        conservative who would later woo Tea Partiers nationwide. He said he'd
        focus on supporting early education and community policing. And he
        wasn't particularly passionate about cutting spending. In his first
        three years, he supported adding a $4 surcharge to cruise tickets to
        fund a Marlins stadium and a $1.2 million earmark to build new bike
        paths in his district

        Records show Rubio sent payments to American Express totaling $13,900
        for his personal expenses during his tenure as House speaker. But those
        payments were not made monthly. He made no contributions to the bill
        during a six-month stretch in 2007, records show.

        One committee paid relatives nearly $14,000 for what was incorrectly
        described to the IRS as "courier fees" and listed a nonexistent address
        for one of them. Another committee paid $5,700 to his wife, who was
        listed as the treasurer, much of it for "gas and meals."

        Rubio's spending continued in 2005 when the Republican Party of
        Florida handed him a credit card to use at his own discretion. While
        serving as House speaker in 2007 and 2008, he charged thousands of
        dollars in restaurant tabs to the state party at the same time taxpayers
        were subsidizing his meals in Tallahassee.

        Rubio's wife, former Miami Dolphins cheerleader Jeanette Dousdebes,
        served as the committee's treasurer. In reports filed with the state,
        Rubio and his wife failed to disclose more than $34,000 in expenses over
        an 18-month period.

        Marco Rubio was facing foreclosure on a Tallahassee house after missing five months of mortgage payments, according to a lawsuit filed in Leon County Circuit Court

        You'd have to be robbed for a thousand years, to equal the 15+ TRILLION, obama has already robbed from the American people.

        drake, what he forgot to claim $34000 in EXPENSES.
        Remember John Murtha the senator who had the taxpayer built him an airport at the cost of $150 million so he had one close to his house and the airport is still payed for by the taxpayers because one airplane lands there per day or sometimes NONE.

      If obama is so far ahead of Romney, then why is he running such a desperate advertising campaign, remenicent of a candidate who is running scared? ... Probably because Obama knows that once Romney is allowed to spend his post convention campaign funds, Obama can loose it all. Obama is arrogant and pompous, when Romney's hands are tied behind his back ... and, when Obama believes he has the advantage in campaign funds. Obama's disgusting false accusations directed towards Romney, makes it obvious that obama will stoop to any depth, to hold onto his power. Good bye, and good riddance Mr. Obama !!!

        Mitt Romney has paid taxes and the deal would be for Obama to show his passport, college records and tanscripts! And that hasnt been done either! Obama doest want the raise in Indonesia book mentioned!!! Love the new racest tapes of Obama today!! Heard more to come!! I hope that everyone thinks this over seriously! Bush Spent < 5 trillion in 8 years. yes that was 8 years!!! Obama spent 20 Trillion, that is 5 trillion a year in just 4 years!! Your kids will be slaves, the new illegals im sure Obama would be very HAPPY for them to pay for the spend bill that he wants to do the next 4 years. WE WILL have a NUCLEAR incident in 6 months!!!!!!! WHO DO YOU WANT TO LEAD????????? there are 20 middle eastern countries on fires. urning flags that we have had to remove americans from. They are now going to investigate this administration for neglect for our 4 americans recently killed in Lybia. Our border war just gave us another patrol offer death that they are investigating. All of our FBI military are saying that our Administration does NOT realize the scope of what is going on in the middle and on our borders. There have been MANY mexican teen death over this fast and furious scandal, they are ignoring this as well! Nbc is great at Obamas defense in covering thenews. Please reach out and study many many articles to get your facts. Our total worth has gone down to 40% and expected to go down to 75%of our income to the government. Romney has alotbetter plan actually the only plan to conquer the budget and promises to keep Obamas executiv order with immigration the same!! For our kids sake and your retirement. VOTE ROMNEY

    The hispanics come here, like immigrants from all over the world, in hopes of America providing a better life for themselves, and for their children. Thanks to President Obama, however, America is changing into a socialist third world country, whose freedoms and opportunities will be lost forever. Thanks to Obama, soon the United States will be the same as the countries the immigrants are leaving.

    Why believe your own experience of paying more for everything, layoffs, inflation, and a shrinking economy ... when Obama and the main stream media keep telling you everything is getting better ... oh that's right, you believes what Obama tells you over your own eyes and ears. Conclusion ... you deserve to be lied to ... and, you deserve the coming economic melt down, and accompanying hardships ... but, don't worry about George Clooney and Anna Winter ... they will still be able to afford their lives of luxury.

    If being president was just running for office, Obama would be a good president. Too bad being a president is soooo much more than being able to spout flowery languange off of a teleprompter!! I honestly hope he doesn't believe the lies he spouts or he should be submitted to an institution for being dilusional. If anyone thinks raising taxes on the rich is going to even come close to solving this countries economic problems, they need to be committed to the same asylum. The rich don't make enough, even if we took 95% of what they make in a year, to even make up 1/7th of the deficit!!! Now we have a president just bent on campaigning or golfing all year long!!! Get back to work!!

    Romney is a “corporate crook” who has not paid his share of taxes. That is why he will not release but just two years of his tax returns, and that is why he is so rich. He did make his money honestly. He is “morally corrupt” and does not qualify to be “dog catcher” much less president of the United States.
    The ancestors of the “majority” of Hispanics in Southern Colorado (including Pueblo) arrived in what is now New Mexico, USA, in 1598 and 1600; over 400 years ago (even before Jamestown or any other English settlement). New Mexicans were Spanish citizens for over 300 years until 1822, and became American citizens in 1846.
    The worst US President ever was Jimmy Carter, but at least he paid his taxes and wasn’t a crook like Romney.
