Morphine Prince 109,655 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Washington (CNN) - Marco Rubio says socialism is distinct from the communism his parents fled in Cuba and he doesn't fault Bernie Sanders for promoting it -- but that doesn't mean he agrees with his Senate colleague.The Florida Republican corrected a questioner at a "Life of the Party" event in New Hampshire Wednesday who compared Sanders' brand of socialism with what Rubio's family fled when they left Cuba."In fairness, they fled communism," Rubio interjected. "There is social democracy, right, like you see in Europe, where government provides for every aspect of your life, but there's consequence to that. They fled communism, which is beyond socialism, obviously where government controls society, but also government controls politics, life, the banning of religion, people were being executed.""What I appreciate about Bernie is he's not trying to shirk from it," Rubio said. "It's what he believes in. He's honest about it.""I don't think it works for America," Rubio said. "My argument is, you want to live in a country like that -- there's like dozens of countries around the world that are socialist -- move there. We should continue to be America.""I don't personally have a problem with Bernie because he's being honest about what he believes in. I'd love to have that debate," Rubio said.Source: http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/04/politics/marco-rubio-socialism-bernie-sanders/index.html?sr=fbCNN110415marco-rubio-socialism-bernie-sanders0815PMVODtopLink&linkId=18504600 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
