Florida candidate Rubio seeks to stave off foreclosure

[Hot Mega]

Another inner city person who bit off more mortgage than they can chew and can't divide 300 by 2 getting foreclosed.

Fear not, he'll blame the "liberal media", illegals..probably even the Haitian earthquake and get elected in a landslide by silly GOPers.:o

Florida GOP Senate candidate Marco Rubio is defending his personal finances amid word that a home he co-owns with a state congressional hopeful has gone into foreclosure.

According to the Palm Beach Post's Michael C. Bender, Rubio and state Rep. David Rivera were sued this week in Florida after skipping five months of mortgage payments on a Tallahassee house the two jointly purchased in 2005. Rubio, then a member of the Florida House, and Rivera shared the property when both were in Tallahassee for state business. Rivera is now running for the GOP nomination in Florida's 25th Congressional District.

According to a filing with the Leon County clerk's office, Deutsch Bank National Trust initiated foreclosure proceedings June 11 after the pair stopped making mortgage payments in February. Rubio and Rivera purchased the house for $135,000 back in March 2005. According to court documents, the balance of their mortgage today is $134,795. An online real estate listing shows the three-bedroom home currently priced at $136,500, having gone on the market in April.

I think Crist is probably going to pull this out. Between Rubio's missteps and the Dem's likely bleeding out of support, he's going to pull a GOP version of what Lieberman did.

A halfway decent Dem would easily win that state. Crist probably has it wrapped up now. Maybe he will be so pissed at the GOP establishment he'll give them a giant F U and vote Center Left? :yesyes:

Kaboom goes the election prospects of a "fiscal conservative" candidate who can't keep a house...pretty cut n dry here...

Look out Rubio, though he is just the Commissioner of Agriculture, Charles Bronson has power in the state.

Hannity will vouch for him, and help twist the facts on his show.

Rubio's campaign tells the Miami Herald the two candidates stopped making monthly payments because of a dispute with the bank over mortgage terms.

My good buddy Billo the Clown assured me that this ridiculous story is really the work of "the smear merchants" trying to steal the election for the radical, extreme welfare marxists who are taking over the globe..

What would GOP politics be without some good ol', red state scapegoating? Their party motto ought to be, "If you ain't scapegoating, you ain't trying".
