Meeting Marco Rubio
Posted by TulipGirl | Under Homeschooling, In the Sarasota Sun, Political Concerns Wednesday May 13, 2009
The boys and I joined the YCSers to meet Marco Rubio. Don’t know who Rubio is? Read this great interview with NRO — especially if you live in Florida, I recommend you take the time to read it.
What a great opportunity for the boys! Those were always fun times for me, when my parents took us to meet candidates when I was a kid.
I’m not so thrilled about Rubio though–his property tax reform (to me) seemed to be a poorly designed idea at the worst time in Florida when property values took a dive. Now we can’t pay for basic government functions! And his comments about American college students being the best educated anywhere probably wouldn’t sit well with my sister who teaches really bright kids overseas! :(
He has mine and my husband’s vote. So glad we will have an alternative to Crist! He’s always had the whiff of RINO.
He has our votes, too. We met him a couple of years ago, just before he was appointed Speaker of the House, and we are thrilled that he is running against Crist.
Rebekah, I can understand having mixed feelings about candidates. Overall, I like what I see in Rubio. Btw, been missing you lately. . .
Sem / Patricia, the boys really enjoyed meeting him. *grin*
