Marco Polo

The game Marco Polo is a watery hide and seek.  You hide in the water one person shouts “Marco”, the person trying to be found shouts “Polo”. Eventually the elusive Marco Polo is found and either its time to head for the towels or just take some time to do laps. The game is fun at first but when a whole bunch of other folk are playing Marco Polo at the same time many times its get a little exasperating or quite a bit boring. 

Marco Rubio, thinks he is presidential material. He is not quite sure just how much material he owns so he too has decided to play a game of hide and seek. At first the Florida Senator was for some fair immigration legislation thinking that perhaps being positive with immigration mattered and it could change lives of millions. But then the Red Meanies of the T-Publicans the ones who make up history or think it is debatable scolded him and said immigration was never an American ideal. So poor little Marco flip flopped swearing his positive message for immigration was taken out of context by a Liberal Lame Street Press (always quote Sarah Palin when you want to lie). And now when you shout Marco, you get I never meant what I said about immigration.

Watching his senatorial buddies like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz gain ground with the crazy conspiracy Christian Crusaders (err I mean Conservatives) with lies lavished on them by FOX NEWS or the puppeteers of the Oil Lobby; little Marco (I am presidential material)Rubio has now joined the Climate Change is a hoax and science must not be permitted to run amuck crowd. Even though Rubio is a Senator from Florida (whose coastline is becoming less and less and the city of Miami is sinking into the ocean) little Marco wants to be considered one of the big bad boys and refuses to admit that man has anything to do with the dying of the planet. Nope, little Marco at the ready to admonish abortion because it destroys life, is eager to continue letting the climate falter eventually destroying the lives of millions just a generation away. With little Marco “its for the families and children, but fuck them if they can’t let the Oil Industry and the Koch Brothers make more money.

“Marco” “Polo”, where are you, here I am, catch me if you can. Marco Rubio is seriously considering a run for the office of president. His competition so far is a man who wants poor people to die if they cannot afford health care (Cruz). A man who says government is way too big and people like Cliven Bundy are patriots (Paul). A man who insists Jesus was the first president of the US (Huckabee) and a man who thinks women who get pregnant should have thought it out first and if they insist should use a hangar(Perry). So little Marco Rubio wants to send some tough talk to the minion of morons who mainly vote in the T-Publican primaries. But just like the game Marco Polo, little Marco Polos is elusive and just when you think you caught him is someone completely different.
