Bernie DeCastro, the Constitution Party candidate in the U.S. Senate race, is questioning former House Speaker Marco Rubio’s conservative credentials. Rubio is currently running as the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate.

“Marco Rubio is not a conservative,” wrote DeCastro in response to suggestions that he pull out of the race and not split the conservative vote. “Nor is he a person willing to ‘take on the liberal Obama agenda,‘ as he so often says. But this is not my opinion. This ‘accusation’ is based on facts and Mr. Rubio’s own record.

“I believe in the God-given right to life,” continued DeCastro. “I believe that life begins at conception. For this reason I support the personhood amendment, (which ascribes life at the point of conception). Mr. Rubio refuses to support the personhood amendment.

“I will fight and oppose Obama’s and Pelosi’s cap-and-trade at any cost,” he wrote. “While speaker of the Florida House, Mr. Rubio co-sponsored a cap-and-trade bill for Florida.

“I believe, like Glenn Beck, that a return to God and the Constitution are the remedies for the serious problems this country faces,” wrote DeCastro “That is why I signed Glenn Beck’s 912 pledge. Mr. Rubio has not signed the 912 pledge and many conservatives are wondering why.”
