MARIJUANA
I have always liked Marco Rubio--but a couple of things disturb me about him.
I live in Colorado where the voters of this state voted to legalize marijuana for recreational use. The state highly regulates this industry, and it's regulated like alcohol and tobacco. We have no marijuana related crime, and it's brought (more than expected state tax revenue) and created lots of jobs.
But what the REAL problem for Marco Rubio and others like him is they don't seem to understand that REPUBLICANS in mass voted for legalization. In El Paso County, CO and home to Focus on the Family voted for it, along with other Republican strongholds in this state.
Alaska being an all red state voted for it. With Colorado & Washington being the 1st there are another 7 states that intend to put legalization on the ballot in 2016. Rubio's stance is it's against Federal Law--but I really don't want any President that doesn't respect the 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution--(States Rights). Marco Rubio doesn't seem to get that concept has yet.
Marco Rubio on Drugs
MILITARY
Marco Rubio is definitely a hawk and believes the United States should be first to go. He voted against the sequester, which cut military spending. He will put more money to the defense budget with a 18 trillion dollar deficit and ever climbing. I haven't heard of any cuts he wants to make to the budget, but I think we can assume it won't be to the military budget, in fact that spending will most likely increase under his administration.
