smelly paws off our power structure'.That's why Rubio is the ds708 token Latino, Allen West the token black guy and whatever person they can trot out as an example of a skin tone or age group that best 'represent' thetaxidermalizedGOP.
They can trot out all the Marco Rubios they want, but until Republicans stop labeling Cubans, Latinos and Hispanics as moochers, parasites and takers, it's all for naught.Add women, people of color, seniors, young people, the poor and gays to that, too.
The Cuban community has changed over the years. As the older community dies off younger more moderate voices fill their shoes. The embargo is on its way to being toast. Already a majority of Cubans don't support it. It's now a question of time. Hopefully it will be dropped during Obamas term.
Marco Rubio is the senator form Cuban Miami and therefore has very little in common with the rest the country and the Latino population. The experience of Cubans immigrants in the US is markedly different form the rest of Latin America. Mainly, Cubans are sheltered under the Cuban Adjustment Act autel maxidiag and therefore even if arriving into the US illegally, they are immediately received into a legal pathway for residency and eventually citizenship. The focus of the political leaders of So Florida (with the exception of newly elected Democrat Joe Garcia) is the Cuba of old. Yet, in the past decades Latin America has forged a strong relationship with the Cuba of today. Marco Rubio is way out of touch not only with the rest of Florida (Tampa International Airport debacle), with half of the Cuban community in So Florida, and with the rest of the Latino community in the US. Marco Rubio is left to be reinvented by the Republican spin machine but his principles remain tied to the entrenched Cuban politicians of old.
Marco Polo doesn't have much political experience either. I guess breathing for four more years would change that....
For some reason I can't help but think about certain Romneyadvisershabit ofreferringto Russia
