All of the Rubio-supporters around here should be DEEPLY ashamed. Some of us recognized him for a race-baiter right from the start.

Come on South Carolina, Off this POS! Ditto for AZ and McLame! Republicans will cease to exist if men like these remain in office.

I hope you are right. There are still a lot of folks, and even some FRiends, who remain in the dark about the rot inside the GOPe core. I almost feel bad for Rubio, being suckered into hitching his wagon to that train. But then, I thought Rubio was smarter than that. He's let me down a little; I can't feel too bad for him. After all, he's choosing to become part of the problem.

Rubio might well end up playing the same role in the illegal alien debate as Bart Stupach played in the Obamacare debate.

Graham said everything except Rubio is a credit to his race.

There are indeed good comments, along with commenters who can’t stop calling TEA Partiers “teabaggers.”

Suckered? Getting into a room with four Democrats does not make him a sucker - it makes him an accomplice. Let's face it - the only thing we know about what these people think comes from what they tell us. Would it surprise you to hear that politicians, even more than car salesmen, tell us what they think we want to hear, rather than what they really think, in order to hoover up campaign dollars and volunteer time? Until they get into positions of power, upon which they push legislation contrary to their supporters' beliefs and interests, thereby demonstrating what they really believe (mainly in personal advancement and, in Rubio's case, the interests of his ethnic group). Rubio has actually revealed time and again what he really believes, but conservatives have repeatedly blocked out that reality because he's young and has an attractive persona, in addition to being somebody's idea of the mythic Great Hispanic Contender who will finally bring in the Hispanic vote for Republicans.

“Game changer,” kinda like Benedict Arnold trying to sell West Point to the British.

I believe there were 9 or 10 comments when I posted but didn’t see teabagger, the one comment now that says the tea party is over is by a nutjob:)

Well, hammering the last nail into the GOP coffin does change the game a little.
