Analyst's note:  In a nutshell, Senator Marco Rubio lied through his teeth to anglo-Americans.  This article pointed out the first thing that came to my mind when I heard this .... "This is exactly what Arabs like Yasser Arafat have done for years – promising “peace” in English and “jihad” (holy war) to Arabic audiences. We know who always got the truth from Arafat."  Don't miss 'Our Republic is at stake': Act now or never have the chance again

On Monday, a majority of Senate Republicans voted to continue debate of the disastrous ‘Gang of Eight’ amnesty bill, surprising many when the vote easily cleared the required 60 threshold, 82-15.

[....] If you were listening – on either side of the issue – Rubio told you exactly what you wanted to hear.

In a Spanish-language interview Sunday with the network Univision (video here, translation here) Sen. Rubio made his strongest statement yet that legalization of the nation’s tens of millions of illegal aliens must happen before any new border security or internal enforcement measures are in place, and will in no way be conditional on any security requirements.

Let’s be clear. Nobody is talking about preventing the legalization. The legalization is going to happen. That means the following will happen: First comes the legalization. Then come the measures to secure the border. And then comes the process of permanent residence. What we’re talking about here is the system of permanent residence. As for the legalization, the enormous majority of my colleagues have accepted that it has to happen and that it has to begin at the same time we begin the measures for [the border]. It is not conditional. The legalization is not conditional.

To put it mildly, this is very different from what Rubio has told English-speaking audiences, especially on shows like Mark Levin, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh – who were instrumental in helping the former “Tea Party darling” prevail in his tough Senate primary in 2010. For months now, Rubio has repeatedly, endlessly, claimed that border security would come first, before any legalization. Rubio has further asserted that he could and would never support a bill that didn’t secure the border first.

In a nutshell, he lied through his teeth to these hosts who constantly praised him as a “good guy”, “honest”, “conservative”, Senator they supported. While we activists screamed “snap out of it” they continued like this for months, praising Rubio’s “effort to solve the problem” while ignoring dozens of articles and analyses proving that his claims were full of lies.

[....] Hannity twice returned to Rubio’s statement on Univision. “You understand that people read the interview, those of us that didn’t speak Spanish, and it was interpreted as first comes legalization, then comes secure the border, that legalization is not conditional. I think you would then understand why people thought this.”

“Right,” Rubio said. “So maybe, I probably should have been more artful in the use of terms.”

“The Artful Liar”. Terrific. And what is especially disturbing is his saying one thing to Spanish-speaking audiences, and the exact opposite in English. This is exactly what Arabs like Yasser Arafat have done for years – promising “peace” in English and “jihad” (holy war) to Arabic audiences. We know who always got the truth from Arafat.

Are there any conservatives out there who still support or trust this guy?
