Rubio's response

[SaintLouieWoman]

Anyone watching? He seems too quiet, no fire in his belly. I guess it's part of the plan to have the Republicans seem like the sweeter party. He at least sounds credible.

At least he brought up that Barack suggested those evil spending cuts.

Says for Obama to abandon his obsession to raise taxes.

Good also brought up Solyndra.

Not much fire SLW ... but he *is* taking O on, much more than I thought he would.

Oooh. Didn't need to see him shaking there while drinking water.

All these guys talk nice and then when it matters they fold and vote with the Democrats, talk is cheap, I want to see them back it up with some balls when it matters.

Saw that. Krauthammer commented on that on Fox News. I don't think he's ready yet, but his speech was good.

What are these guys afraid of? You don't see this kind of fear, this kind of timidity from the Democrats.

Yes, unfortunately, talk IS cheap Rock, I agree ...

And also, in keeping with my dislike of swearing in English I would like to see them back it up with some "cajones" as well! (most-serious-smile!)

Listening to Luntz's focus group on Rubios speech. Very few believe Obama's statement that he's not adding to the debt.

But the group is a bunch of loons as they're talking more. They keep believing Obama's BS.

Most of them were positive to Rubios speech.

Have been listening to Sen Cruz's response. He was more articulate than Rubio. If the Republicans are looking for a hispanic candidate, I'd back Cruz.
