Rubio answers that himself in Politico

Quote:My understanding of my parents’ journey has always been based on what they told me about events that took place more than 50 years ago — more than a decade before I was born. What they described was not a timeline, or specific dates.

A lie is saying something you know to be false. There is exactly zero evidence Rubio got the dates wrong on purpose.

A lie would be, oh, I don't know, claiming you were the product of your parents having sex after the Selma marches when they took place 4 years after you were born.

Just one point about Rubio. Hispanics aren't going to identify with a Cuban just because his skin is the same as theirs in the same way Palin didnt deliver women because she has boobs. While Rubio is much more intelligent/likable/polished than Palin, he brings more risk as pander backfire in the hispanic community than the amount of the community he brings with him. If Romney picks him, it better be because he thinks he is the best qualified person, not just because he has dark skin and a vowel at the end of his name.

I'm glad you finally learned a word to describe yourself.

Fool, idiot and moron would also relate to you. But don't overdo it just yet. Ease into those.
