this is an important, serious, really big fat hairy deal to the Leftists and their instructors in the MSM
Albert Constantine Jr.| 2.14.13 @ 7:16AM
I recall in the late 1970s, a new phrase entered the lexicon stemming from the quaffing of a somewhat altered water-based drink by the followers of another community organizer.
While Marco Rubio appears to merely quench his own thirst, the insistence by Jim Jones that his People's Temple adherents consume the poisoned-laced beverage with fatal results not only gave us the phrase "drink the Koolaid", but also established what generally follows from leftist groupthink.
Lullabys Legends and Lies| 2.14.13 @ 1:01PM
I always find it ironic when some Lefty/Commie uses the term "drinking the Koolaid" when referring to a Republican or Conservative!! They obviously don't realize where the term originally comes from, and that it doesn't have anything to do with the Right at all, and everything to do with the Left!! Jonestown killed a whole bunch of Democrats and Socialists, and shit load of Black Folks too (and yes, most of them were Black)!! I think Jim Jones just thought of his Koolaid drinkers as very late term abortions, an experiment in population control, to save Mother-Earth-Gaia (and I'm sure our current President would've approved of this philosophy too)!! So accuse the Right of "drinking the Koolaid" all you want, and expose yourself for being the dolt that you've always been!! Thirsty anybody?

I wonder if Rubio's apparent penchant for taking small sips of water might be indicative of a health issue. For example, some forms of rheumatoid arthritis cause one to have dry eyes and a dry mouth. If so, shouldn't the bleeding heart liberals be showing concern instead of asininity over this?
Fiscal| 2.14.13 @ 8:21AM
Let's face it... Rubio wasn't ready for primetime. I question the strategy of Republicans putting a Latino up just because they want that vote. Until Republicans stop criticizing Obama and start being proactive and positive about a fiscally conservative agenda including telling people the truth about cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Defense, they will continue to decline. If you add that to the social conservative belief system which would like to move back to the 50's (when blacks and women didn't have equal rights), then you have the formula for continued decline no matter who speaks for the party.
True fiscal conservatives have absolutely no one making a truthful case about the future.

take that ignorant, Kos-approved nonsense down the road, libtard...
JimH| 2.14.13 @ 8:45AM
Rubio is the smiling Latino GOP establishment approved face. If the party feels compelled to have a Latino spokesperson I’d prefer Ted Cruz. But I dont' think the RINOs would care for his message.
Dai Alanye | 2.15.13 @ 2:20PM
If Rubio is wise he'll drink iced tea in the future, inviting a charge of "bourbon-drinker" from the left, and subsequent laughter when the truth is revealed.
