Rant - Rubio responding in English AND spanish

Post by Username28 »

I am absolutely appauled and disgusted that Rubio will do the response in English and Spanish. Is this AMERICA or Cuba? Give me a break, what a slap in the face to Americans!
This SERIOUSLY disgusts me.

I am fully expecting this to start a war on this forum, as it has on facebook.

My response to that:

If your here in america, SPEAK ENGLISH or Get the hell out!

Sorry Username, i chose to exploit the irony in this post.

I'm Cuban American (born here), and i feel there are bigger problems with Rubio than the language he chooses to use in response to a question. Now i do agree that things should be done in English here. Hell, i feel the citizenship test should be ONLY in English. But i think the way he embellishes the truth and his loyalties to those outside of politics should be more concerning than the language he chooses.

He's simply playing the game and trying to appeal to the Hispanic voting block. Seeing as how we (Hispanics) are the largest growing minority population in the country, im sure getting us on board for the 2016 election will help Rubio and the potential GOP ticket.

Just saying, we should worry more about the message he is delivering, rather than the way he delivers it.

Smart move by the GOP. I would have expected this from the Democratic party but never the GOP. Just shows how desperate they are to try to get back into the White House. The Hispanic vote more and more will deetermine national elections.

FYI I dont care if your green purple pink spanish jewish hindu....if your in America speak english. You cant go to ........france and expect them to speak english, just because you dont speak french or whatever their language is.

And on the grammar part...bite me...this is the internet, you know what I meant, thats all that matters.

I was not born here, and I still retain fluency in my original language. However, I also write and speak English... and do so better than many USA natives, especially the ones on this website. :lol:

Additionally, I was not aware that the Internet was an excuse to trash the rules of the English language. Frankly, that bothers me, not Rubio's right to free speech and mode of expression.

If I heard thd story right this was the first time this was broadcast in Cuba. That would be just another reason for using Rubio. The GOP needs fresh young charismatic blood if they hope you beat Hillary in 4 years. I meet Rubio and he was one of the nicest politicians I ever meet. Not fake nice a really nice guy. If he ran I might actually vote republican again.

Douche bag voted against the VAWA. So much for the white house. He'll be lucky to keep his job. WTF is it with Pug's and women? Sooner they figure out that Ann Coulter and Michele Bachman DO NOT represent the mainstream, the better off they will be. Rubio has a few other issues that make him less than right, but that sure didn't stop Romey did it?

I could care less what you speak when you are in public area. You have people flipping & crying a river because of it... Give me a break...What the FK does anyone care what they are talking about if it doesn’t include them nor has nothing to do with them. Now, I do have a problem if you speak both languages & yapping your mouth in a work place that other can’t understand.

Also, do you really think they care about your shirt? They don't cause they can’t read what it says..lol
Oh, but you couldnt be more wrong about the shirt, I speak spanish, fluently, and I cant tell you how many have cussed me out in spanish! They REALLY dont like it when I turn around and tell them "¿No gustó? Salir del infierno!"...they tend to REALLY get mad about that...which basically means "dont like it, get the hell out!"
