For those of you that didn’t catch this article or its significance, I hope you take the time to understand the implications of this new issue. Due to the release of the Rubio’s damaging RPOF AMEX card statements, he is only now coming clean on eight airline tickets that he submitted reimbursement claims to both the RPOF and the State of Florida. Therefore, this scheme doubled his money regarding these expenses.

Oddly enough, in his defense the Rubio Campaign says in this article that they “could find only eight flights between 2006-2008 which were paid for the state,” while “hundreds of flights” were taken during this time frame. So if we are to believe that this was not a deliberate attempt to take advantage of the system, his position, the RPOF contributors and the Florida Tax payers, then we will have to believe that for some reason he changed a reimbursement/expense practice that had been repeated hundreds of times for several years.

Why would he accidently choose only these eight flights to submit to the State, and not realize as he stumbled through a different reporting process in order to get his money that an error was being made?

Why is he reimbursing the RPOF and not the State of Florida?

A cynical reader would surmise that by admitting he should not have submitted the request to the State of Florida, that it would trigger an audit and a criminal investigation in to all reimbursement requests he made to the State. Being exposed to a false reimbursement claim against the State of Florida would be made against a public entity and therefore pursued by proper legal authorities. An “accidental” submittal to the RPOF may be forgiven, as it is not a private organization and the “oversight” would avoid criminal investigation.

When something just doesn’t make sense, there is usually more to the story. It seems as if this ball of yarn is just now beginning to unravel.

Poor baby, it is a hit job to release the Party Credit card statements. Clearly Rubio was protecting something because he has been fighting the release since the beginning.

Interesting that the people who support Sharon Day were also supporting the release of the records (because they thought it would hurt Jim Greer) I wonder how many will change their tune because of Rubio now.

Therefore, he was left with the only choice which is to go on the offensive by releasing the information and doing an absurd, over the top PR effort to try and divert attention with his dramatic attacks on Crist. He needed to get the inevitable over with now, take his lumps and hope like hell that people will forget about all this before August. Politically speaking it is really his only reasonable alternative.

As for what happens next, this will break hard one way or another for Rubio. Either people will fall for his ridiculous claim that somehow he is a victim and shouldn’t be at fault for his recklessness and abusive dealings with RPOF contributor funds, or people will see these actions as another reason why Rubio is no conservative and not fiscally responsible.

So to the undecided voters, put down the Rubio cool aid and step back from the table. You are beginning to learn more about the “Real Rubio” and it isn’t what you have been told.
