Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), chairman of the House Republican Conference, today endorsed Marco Rubio, the conservative candidate challenging Gov. Charlie Crist (R-FL) for the Republican nomination for Senate.

Pence, who is rumored to have his own intention for higher (that is, Oval) office, said today that Rubio "will be a courageous check and balance on the current Washington establishment."

"Marco Rubio's faith in free markets, limited government and traditional moral values make him the right choice for Republicans in this race," Pence said in a statement.

Excellent endorsement because Rep. Mike Pence is a staunch Conservative Republican in the House that promotes strict adherence to Constitutional Principles and Limits on Government.

Marco Rubio is the Constitutional Republican that all citizens should back in Florida, even Democrats. Democrats that vote for Rubio will be sending a message to the DNC, "STOP PROGRESSIVES". Its time for Democrats to remember we live in a "Constitutional Republic" and ignore the followers of the "Living Constitution". Democrats must limit themselves to Constitutional restrictions on Government and STOP SENDING OTHER PEOPLES MONEY, but unfortunately most Democrats wouldn't know the Constitution even if Thomas Jefferson rose from the Grave and slap them in the face with it.

Here is an example:

Q. Democrats explain what "Invasion" means in the Constitution?

Its funny to watch the faces of Democrats when you ask them that question...smile

Republicans that back Rubio are sending a message to RNC, "NO MORE RINOS WE DON'T WANT CRIST!".

Q. How do you know if a Republican is a RINO?

A. Ask them what does "Invasion" mean in the Constitution?
