Rubio: ‘I’m done’ if immigration bill includes gay couple amendment


 
Rubio: ‘I’m done’ if immigration bill includes gay couple amendment

By Chris Moody, Yahoo! News | The Ticket

Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, a co-author and key proponent of the Senate immigration bill, said he will revoke his support if an amendment is added that allows gay Americans to petition for same-sex spouses living abroad to secure a green card.

"If this bill has in it something that gives gay couples immigration rights and so forth, it kills the bill. I'm done," Rubio said Thursday during an interview on the Andrea Tantaros Show. "I'm off it, and I've said that repeatedly. I don't think that's going to happen and it shouldn't happen. This is already a difficult enough issue as it is."

The amendment, introduced by Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, would grant green cards to foreign partners of gay unauthorized immigrants who seek legal status under new rules in the bill. Leahy originally introduced the measure during the Senate Judiciary Committee markup of the bill, but he withdrew it under pressure from Republican lawmakers who said it would reduce the chance of the bill passing.

The effort underway in Congress to overhaul the nation's immigration system is a bipartisan one, and its success hinges on a fragile coalition of political, business and religious groups that span the ideological spectrum. Opponents of Leahy's amendment have said repeatedly that his proposal would cause some key groups to withdraw their support and kill the bill. Rubio's exit would be especially devastating to its survival.

The Senate is expected to vote on Leahy's amendment soon.

Don't despair DUmmies, Rubio wants amnesty just as bad as you moonbats do. If you think he will bail out you obviously aren't paying attention.
You have to remember DUmmies that for months he swore up and down that securing the border would come first, only to change his tune and now says he won't make an ultimatum over it.

3. Marco thinks he matters.

Oh he does matter to the establishment republicans, he is one of them.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Yeah, Marco can suck it.
              

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Sure you will, sweet cheeks; sure you will. You didn't think that whatever it was they showed you to get you to dance to their tune was ALL they had on you, didja Marco? :thatsright:

Say what you want, but you're Juan McLame's spicy little bitch, now. You're done when Juan SAYS you're done.

Now wipe the jizz off the corner of your mouth and get out there and make another ad about how amnesty is the conservative way.

After all the endorsement we gave this guy, he's nothing more than somebody's bitch. We're ****ed as a political party. All they do is book a room with Ben Dover as soon as the pressure's on.

I'm sick to death of supporting someone, only to have them join in with the democrats. If I wanted democrat type policies I would have voted for Charlie Crist.  :banghead:

Do you have any real conservatives down there who have a chance to replace him?
Biden is an illegitimate President.  Change my mind.

I can't think of any. The reality is FL is turning blue. So some moonbat democrat will replace him.
