And Then There Is Rubio

Marco Rubio, the darling of the GOP and the Tea Party, at least for the first year or so of his term………well he became the face of the immigration debate for the GOP but something went wrong and now he just is as silent as he was vocal in the past.  He talked and talked and now…..NOTHING.  he is hiding from his past stand………..he is even going so far as to duck journalists to avoid talking about immigration.

So what happened?

My guess is 2016!  Immigration will be a hot bed of criticism in the next national election and Rubio wants to insulate himself for the attacks to come.  Rubio is showing what our elected officials are truly about…..the next election…..nowhere are these twats interested in the future of this country.  It is all about a personal agenda not the improving of the country.  And this is why politicians are like diapers….they need changing regularly and for the same reason……

Personally, I think he is a coward that is hiding behind his personal ambition.  (In case there is any confusion……a copy of this will be sent to Rubio via email)………I feel he needs to go and apparently so does the Tea Party in Florida…….

You can’t actually recall a US senator in Florida, but Tea Party activists aren’t letting a little thing like that thwart their efforts to recall Marco Rubio. Radio host KrisAnne Hall says she and a group of other conservatives are helping draft legislation that would allow senators in the state to face recall elections, the National Review Online reports. Hall says that, amongst other things, they’re ticked off at Rubio’s support for the immigration bill. “They’re angry because they feel they’ve been deceived,” she says.

With luck they will get their way and recall this coward…..my only worry is that they will replace his with something worse.

But wait!  McCain, the old man of the the Party, has come to his rescue……..

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said it would be “foolish” to write of Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) presidential chances, despite the hit absorbed by the Florida lawmaker from conservatives upset with his championing of a comprehensive immigration reform bill.

Rubio and McCain served as two of the primary GOP negotiators in the Senate’s “Gang of Eight,” which crafted the upper chamber’s bipartisan reform bill.

“I think it’s just foolish,” McCain told The Arizona Republic in an interview Friday. “I’m not endorsing anyone, but I can tell you Marco Rubio is an articulate spokesperson for what conservatives believe in, in principle. And if we pass immigration reform, which is certainly not clear, he would get enormous credit for it.”

Rubio will do whatever it takes to save his political ass for the 2016 election…..even go against his own bill……this is one reason he is labelled a coward ….by me.

Oh there is more….looks like some voters fo not see him as the fair hair boy for the 2016 election…….

Report from National Review on the state of Rubio’s prospects in Iowa:

A growing number of tea-party activists are irate about his efforts on immigration reform. Instead of being cheered at rubber-chicken dinners, he’s being slammed — and some Republicans say a run for the caucuses would be doomed.

“He has been seriously hobbled — we’re talking about long-term damage,” says Chuck Laudner, a veteran Iowa Republican who helped Rick Santorum win the 2012 caucuses. “Most conservatives feel burned, and he doesn’t have a lot of allies in the state defending him.”

Iowa’s talk-radio hosts have been particularly brutal. Steve Deace, an influential Christian conservative, has warned Rubio not to even show up, and has often taunted him during broadcasts. “Zip, zilch, nada — he’s got no support, he would be dead on arrival,” Deace tells me. “He may end up running for president, but he can’t win here.”

When I mention that Rubio could mount a comeback by pushing conservative initiatives on other issues, such as abortion, Deace is dismissive. “I don’t care how pro-life Rubio is,” Deace says. “If he’s pro-life, that’s great, but what he has done on immigration is unacceptable.”

I believe that 2016 will be a bigger circus than 2010…….and the clowns are jockeying for position…….

Do my readers have any thoughts?

  1. I enjoy watching these reactionaries drag down the Grand Ole Party. Their only strength seems to lie in primary elections where they have the persuasive vote to get their candidate nominated but then have little support in general elections to get them elected.

    1. Larry, like I have said so many times….the GOP wants to control states and if they accomplish that then they really do not need the federal government…….
