Man he's just unabashedly authoritarian on this. Either he doesn't realize where grassroots conservatives stand on this, or he just doesn't care.
He see's "conservatives" standing for the NSA and PATRIOT Act, and I've noticed some, but not many. What these "conservatives" fail to realize is the vast amounts of power this agency has, this law is beholding to all it grants power to, and just how unconstitutional they really are. But, of course, these "conservatives" don't really care about the 4th Amendment, or limited government, except when they make good catch phrases in campaigns.
Maybe the nsa has something on Rubio.

Is anyone seriously talking about getting rid of the NSA?
No. Rubio's trying of blur the lines of the debate.

dear NSA observing this conversation. I am NOT a bad Giraffe.Bulk metadata includes phone numbers, the time and duration of calls — nothing else. No content of any phone calls is collected. The government is not listening to your phone calls or recording them unless you are a terrorist or talking to a terrorist outside the United States.
and,
this is the ONLY place that I am known to associate with them.

Sadly, no.
The good news for us is regular Fox News conservatives don't really care one way or another about the NSA. Foreign wars is a different story. I'm surprised Rubio is doing this....maybe he's just testing the response?
EDIT: ok maybe I shouldn't be surprised. He has this banner:
SAAAAAAAAAFFFFETY

I'm sure it's because of the news that Rand plans to filibuster. The majority of the GOP base thinks it's a good thing....Murica.
I thought I was safe... until I saw that banner... now I'm not so sure... kinda scared actually that maybe I'm not safe

Pathetic dude.We must provide those we charge with protecting us every tool they need to do so.
Today our nation faces a greater threat of terrorist attack than any time since Sept. 11, 2001. Because of the dedicated work of U.S. intelligence, military and law enforcement personnel, Americans have been largely kept safe for almost 14 years. A major contributor to this success has been the development and use of counterterrorism tools such as those authorized under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and Patriot Act.
After the Sept. 11 attacks, the federal government mobilized to defend the country and prevent further loss of innocent life. This included the NSA’s collection of bulk telephone metadata.
Bulk metadata includes phone numbers, the time and duration of calls — nothing else. No content of any phone calls is collected. The government is not listening to your phone calls or recording them unless you are a terrorist or talking to a terrorist outside the United States.
Despite recent court rulings, this program has not been found unconstitutional, and the courts have not ordered a halt to the program.
In fact, this program has been found legal and constitutional by at least 15 federal judges serving on the FISA Court on 35 occasions.
There is not a single documented case of abuse of this program. Internet search providers, Internet-based email accounts, credit card companies and membership discount cards used at the grocery store all collect far more personal information on Americans than the bulk metadata program.
FBI Director James Comey warned last week that potentially, thousands of terrorist sympathizers in the United States are being self-radicalized online by foreign terrorists associated with the Islamic State who are urging them to conduct attacks against Americans in our cities and towns.
Given these threats, now is not the time to end this program, which remains essential to our security. Congress has until the end of May to act before the current authorities expire. We must renew these authorities and provide those we charge with protecting us every tool they need to do so.

These programs remain essential to our security. Add your name if you agree!
We just need to petition harder. If we can get more signers than Rubio, we'll win!
