Because Republican, Democrat, Commie or Tea Partier, politics still makes for strange bedfellows.
Access to information!!!!
Rubio is teaching all the old farts a lesson in maturity and decency.
Better to carry a gun than a grudge.
Or, maybe because no one is opposing Cornyn for NRSC Chair?
They both support open borders? Rubio was th ebest of the three but I think he is Mel Martinez Lite.
Cornyn is running unopposed.
Who is Rubio supposed to support?
Because he was told to support Cornyn - probably by McConnell.
Just maybe by supporting Cornyn, Rubio will have a say in this group....maybe a smart move on Rubio’s part.
The core issue is whether each, and every, issue is decided on whether it is something the Federal government is allowed to do under the Constitution.
When doubt occurs, the issue should be decided in favor of the more strict, more originalist Constitutional perspective.
PS Americans need to use the word “originalist” often enough for it to become recognized by computers. I am getting a bit tired of seeing what should be a core word flagged by my “Spel Chequor”.
>>> the genuine grassroots conservatives that put Rubio if office need some genuine answers.
Let’s take him out back and beat the snot out of him.
Or alternately we could note the story mentions at the start how Cornyn is running unopposed. So what the hell is Rubio supposed to do to stop a man who wins with the first vote.
Rubio may be better than most Republicans but he is still a career politician. The real game changers (Angle, O’Donnel, and Miller) were submarined by the NRSC. Cornyn has to go and I think Rubio has miscalculated here.
Having Cornyn involved in making decisions about whom to back in primaries in 2012 is not good news, as evidenced by his past record: Spectre, Crist, Castle.
Cornyn is a “pragmatist”, not a reliable conservative.
Here was an opportunity for him to take charge and get more "Rubios" and instead he is choosing to be an outside force (and its not like his running for President........he's not).
I'm fairly confident that the new senators, Paul, Lee, Rubio, et al, have secured an agreement that the NRCC will NOT be taking any position, nor providing any $$ or staff, to ANY candidates, even to sitting senators ( Orin, are you paying attention? ) until AFTER the primary. IOW..hands off until the general election..
DeMint is better of NOT taking the positiom, IMHO..in this way he can raise a lot of $$, and support ONLY those candidates who are truly conservative..and not be forced to support all equally..
