He’s done.

I was shocked ‘personhood’ got such prominence from the candidates and thusfar zero notice from media…

anniew · August 7, 2015, 2:23pm

At least he’s honest. If life begins at conception all birth control is bad except for condoms.

mcbain · August 7, 2015, 2:26pm

But I personally and honestly and deeply believe that all human life is worthy of protection

Until they are born, then they are on their own and don’t deserve any help at all, right GOP? You think it is better to let people live in squalor than spend a penny of your precious money to help others in need.

Oh please, oh please, oh please start talking about rape again.

I don’t wish harm to anyone, even despicable, pandering fools like Rubio, but if it happened to his wife or daughter, he would somehow find an exception to his idiotic assertion.

My views on what should be done to rapists are probably not something that should be in print…and I personally believe that anyone opposed to abortion should have to pay 75% of their income or profits so as to take care of all the unwanted babies born in this country as a result and the medical costs for any woman who is forced to use an unsafe procedure to get an abortion.

To his credit, at least he did manage to avoid using the word “legitimate”…

Rubio is not very bright - the Rick Perryof of this cycle.
Does he think he stands a chance in hell at the Presidency by saying
“Let the mother die !”

Any chance he might have had just died !

eris_kallisti · August 7, 2015, 2:42pm

Q: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Rubio: They’re all chickens.

Rubio argued that science has decided that life begins at conception.

Wait a minute. Mr “I’m not a scientist” climate change denier is now asking for validation from “I know more than you do” scientists. The breadth of this charlatan’s hypocrisy is wholly complemented by the narrowness of his vision.

***Not according to Chris Matthews, Steve Schmidt, Andrea Mitchell.***They thought he did fabulously

brooklyndweller · August 7, 2015, 2:43pm

Well, I’d say that he’s “done” for the spot of POTUS. But, I’d also say he’s a damn strong contender for VPOTUS, especially if the GOP can get a Presidential candidate who appears to be not so batsh*t crazy as to balance out the ticket.

Rubio: No rape exceptions.

This is because when we males get raped, we don’t get pregnant.

trumpdog · August 7, 2015, 2:44pm

This was the guy hosts on MSNBC were slobbering over last night?
Wow.

artemisia · August 7, 2015, 2:49pm

Well, in his defense, technically, life begins when the sperm or egg is created since it is a living cell…thus men should be punished for wasting sperm…after all, every sperm is sacred, according to the Catholic Church…

Tweety Matthews and Chuck Toad couldn’t stand up for an hour after gushing, giggling with excitement, and discussing Rubio for fear of embarrassing themselves.

phlebas · August 7, 2015, 2:51pm

Fk you, Marco. Just fk you.

sherlock1 · August 7, 2015, 2:52pm

No exceptions for rape and incest.

Well…At least Rubio’s sewn up substantial Duggar voting block.
