Op-Ed:

The threats begin...what took them so long!

By: Diane Sori

And so it begins... as a uniformed police officer sits patiently outside the West Miami home of Marco Rubio even while he’s in D.C., reports have circulated and been verified by the U.S. Capitol Police, that Rubio and his family have been given both police and Secret Service protection because a serious ‘reported threat’ was made against him.   

Odd isn’t it that after nine years in the Florida House, including being the high profile Speaker for two of those years (‘07 to ’09), and his almost two years as Florida’s freshman Senator, suddenly a serious ‘reported threat’ is being made against him...something sure smells fishy and that fish, in my opinion, has a name beginning with the letter 'O'. 

Barack Hussein Obama is scared, really sacred that his reign of anti-Americanism and pro-Socialism will soon be coming to an end.  This man will try, and will do anything to divert our attention away from his total failure of a presidency, as he can run neither on his record, his foreign policy, nor his credibility...he can only run by spewing lies and innuendos, causing or feeding into diversionary scandals, trying to start class warfare, and most of all his hoped for race war to keep us so afraid that we will fear going out to vote.

Obama knows he has a formidable candidate in Mitt Romney, and he knows that if Romney does indeed choose Rubio to be his VP, who in turn will then assuredly help turn Florida, one of ‘the key states’ if not ‘THE’ key state in this election, back into the red column, Obama is running scared big time. 

So what better way to scare off a man who would appeal to the large Hispanic vote, a man who is adored by the TEA Party, a man who would help lock-up the presidency for Romney, and especially a man who has young children, what better way than to have a serious threat against him be made, and hope that he will be scared enough NOT to accept the position if it is offered to him.  

While I am NOT saying that Obama is personally behind this, although he very well could be, it is my opinion that his handlers and minions are absolutely capable of orchestrating something like this from their dark lairs behind the scenes, and that they are also capable of keeping their involvement quiet.  I believe this could be one of the tactics used by men like George Soros, Eric Holder, the New Back Panthers, even blowhards Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for that matter, to stop a winning ROMNEY/RUBIO ticket, because they know that if their man goes down they go down with him.  

As Rubio’s star in the Republican Party rises with each passing day, as he campaigned with Romney in Pennsylvania, as he delivered a "major address" on foreign policy on Wednesday at D.C.'s Brookings Institution, as he continues to appear on news show after news show, the rumor mill is working full force in speculating that Rubio will be it.  And poor little ‘bama’ sits there aghast knowing that a ROMNEY/RUBIO ticket would be his downfall.  

So something has to be done to stop this ticket from happening, something so BIG that Rubio would be scared off not only out of fear that something could happen to him but also that something could happen to his wife and children as well, and what fits that bill more perfectly than to make serious threats, whether they are real or not.

Now I am NOT saying that this is what happened.  Maybe the threats are coming from someone else, someone with a personal ax to grind with Marco, who really knows at this point, but I do know the timing and circumstances makes one wonder.  If this indeed be the case, I hope Rubio does NOT give in to these people and their despicable tactics because America needs him to stand strong against those out to destroy her and him as well.
