41st Conservative Political Action Conference ...Next > |
March 6, 2014--Introducing
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), consultant Matt Schlapp said, "Senator Rubio
continues to get things
right. From reforming poverty programs to encouraging job
creation to stopping Obamacare bailouts to standing up for religious
liberty and human rights, Marco Rubio is leading on ideas that matter
to conservatives." Rubio declared, "I am convinced that despite
the bad leadership we're getting today we are literally on the verge,
if we make a few right decisions, of a new American century."
Rubio emphasized foreign policy in his speech: "There is only one nation on
earth capable of rallying and bringing together the free people on this
planet to stand up to the spread of totalitarianism. There is
only one nation that can do that, and that is ours. The United
Nations cannot do this. In fact they cannot do anything.
That doesn't mean that we're going to be involved in fifteen wars or
that American foreign policy needs to involve armed conflicts in every
corner of the planet. It also doesn't mean we can solve every
conflict. But what I am trying to say to you is that without
American engagement the world I just painted to you is not just a
possiblity, it is a real probability." (transcript)
