Rubio becoming multi-religionist

Changes religions as often as he changes shoes

In a clear demonstration that he will pander to almost any group in order to secure the Republican presidential nomination, Florida senator Marco Rubio said today that while he is officially a Roman Catholic, he and his family also attend Evangelical services and, that when he was younger, he was a Mormon.

Speaking at the Reform Jewish Center of Greenville, SC, where he was the only person in the building wearing a kippah, the traditional Jewish head covering, Rubio indicated that he was going to adjust his schedule and begin attending Shabbat services "every Friday night from now on".

“Judaism is very important to me and my family,” Rubio said as his wife, Jeanette Dousdebes Rubio, distributed challahs she had baked that morning.

Rubio went on to say that starting next weekend his four children, Amanda, Daniella, Anthony and Dominic would start attending Sunday school at Temple Israel of Greater Miami and that Amanda who is 15 and Daniella, 13, would celebrate a B’not Mitzvah together in the fall.

Later in the day, when asked, given his religious flexibility, whether he would consider adopting any other religions, Rubio answered, “I’ve been looking at many other religions with an eye towards which ones would be most politically advantageous for me from a pandering point of view. “

When queried, the Rubio campaign, ever wary of denunciations from Donald Trump, indicated that Islam was not one of the religions the senator was contemplating.
