During his rise to political prominence, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) frequently repeated a compelling version of his family’s history that had special resonance in South Florida. He was the son of exiles, he told audiences, Cuban Americans forced off their beloved island after “a thug,” Fidel Castro, took power.

But a review of documents — including naturalization papers and other official records — reveals that Rubio’s dramatic account of his family saga embellishes the facts. The documents show that Rubio’s parents came to the United States and were admitted for permanent residence more than 2½ years before Castro’s forces overthrew the Cuban government and took power on New Year’s Day 1959.

I hope that you're wrong. The American electorate can be pretty clueless but most voters don't share his views on the issues. We may ahve to work hard but we can beat him. He's not running for Homecoming King.

5. Well hell, it sounded good. Maybe if he tries it again with puppet theater.

Republicans have a short attention span.
