Rubio was his usual easygoing humorous self. One of
the hot-topic issues at the conference is going to be the Obama decision to
force Catholic charities to provide contraceptives, including Plan B and
Morning After pills, either directly or through their insurance. Rubio
clarified the issue, saying it wasn’t a religious issue, it was a
constitutional issue. Wholeheartedly agree, as did most of the crowd.
One of the dangers of CPAC is that it can be
incredibly repetitive, with the same issues rehashed over and over. Rubio’s
lucky he’s speaking early, but he’s also being creative. He’s worried China and
Russia will step forward if America backs down as a power in the world, and
points to Syria as an example of what will happen.
City on a Hill analogy is going to get a lot of
time, but Rubio explains the biblical reference.
Best quote from the Rubio speech:
“The president of the United States looks like a
really good father. He looks like a really good husband. But he is a terrible
president.”
I’m currently battling an incredibly unhelpful CPAC
media staff trying to get access to a media filing room. Until then, expect
posts to be sporadic at best.
