Marco Rubio for Senate in Florida: A Conservative I Support Along with the Club for Growth

by the Left Coast Rebel

As Another Black Conservative mentions this morning, let the RINO hunt begin! Club for Growth made news this morning by throwing their support behind Marco Rubio's campaign for the Senate seat in Florida, 2010. Conservatives need to get behind potential leaders like Rubio as far as possible in advance. Go here for his campaign site.

From CFG:

"Marco Rubio is the real deal, one of the brightest young stars in American politics today, and a proven champion of economic liberty," said Club President Chris Chocola. "He is a dynamic spokesman for the principles of limited government and economic freedom, and he will make a fantastic Senator."

Rubio served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2000-2008, and was elected to the Republican leadership as Majority Whip, Majority Leader, and finally, Speaker of the House. Rubio is an advocate of lower federal spending, tax relief and tax reform, union members' right to a secret ballot, and market-driven energy and environmental solutions.

Rubio's Republican primary opponent is Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who supported President Obama's $787 billion stimulus, proposed a state "cap-and-trade" energy program, and this summer broke his pledge not to sign any state tax increases.
