Will the Tea Party be asking (demanding!) that Senator Marco Rubio (VERY PUBLICLY) ask Mitt Romney's campaign to shut down their "Tom Brokaw" ad -- in light of the fact that when Sen. Rubio VERY PUBLICLY inserted himself in the Florida GOP Primary battle, Newt Gingrich pulled that Romney ad ?
Does the Mitt Romney ad of a 14 year old NBC news lead story about Newt Gingrich (charges he was cleared of) offend Sen. Rubio or will he sit silent?
Is Sen. Rubio merely an "immigrant issue" politician or is he a fair representative of ALL Floridians?
NBC has asked that this ad be stopped and Romeny's camp is refusing. Time to find out where Rubio stands with the Tea Party.
You've stated the truth -- something Romney has decided to turn his back on.

Great!
I’m thrilled you’ve given that source!!
Thank you.
Ever since some Royal Wahabi Towelhead [Saudi Princeling]bought a substantial piece of Rupert Murdock's NewsCorp, Fox News has been jumping the wrong way on a lot of issues, most importantly on the subject of rising muzzie jihad right here in the US. So too, they and their radio talkers have been tanking for The Willard for a long time now - vide their endless hit pieces against The Tea Party and Newt. They have also become shills for a number of RINO squish types, never calling them out as such while frequently conflating The Tea Party with the mythical 'hard right'. When, for example, has Faux News ever nailed Boehner or McConnell for their flaccid surrenders on the debt ceiling votes? And how many free puff pieces have they done on NJ governor Chris Crisco since the 2010 election? In short, they are no longer a reliable objective news source. They are very reliable media flunkies for the ruling political elite in general and the RINO squish du jour. Disappointing but true.
Sooo, on the subject of Marco Rubio, the fact that Faux News seems not to have had him on re his support vel non for Newt may bode well for Newt. Is Marco Rubio going to come out for that world class liar The Willard? Don't know but he has come up in a state shot through with truly pathetic RINO poster boys, with Jeb Bush at the top. We shall see and very soon.
When small r republicans join democrats and their media against one of OUR own candidates, it should be obvious that they fear that ‘business as usual’ is in peril.
They have learned to be ‘comfortable’ with the system just as it is and they will resist change because of their fear of the ‘enlightened movement’ of people.
Capitulation is easy, Resistance takes raw courage.
Obama supporters? Oh that’s right ... any vote not for Mitt Romney is a vote for Obama. I guess the fat man from New Jersey is the other great Conservative leader, right?
This is no longer about the pandering fraud from Mass against Newt (or your other candidate of choice). It is about the useless and far too entrenched GOP establishment versus the rest of us. It is about the rebellion.
Ha! You’re right. Very interesting.
Newt just appeared on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace and was a sharp as a tack and as serious as a heart attack.
Newt just made this crystal clear on Fox News Sunday.

Yes it looks like Rubio is taking the coward’s way out with an unofficial endorsement of Mitt. Everyone knows he’s for Mitt and he tries to help Mitt as he can but he never has to come right out and say it. I hate a fencewalker. I would have more use for Rubio if he would just go ahead and endorse Mitt. He’s probably praying that whoever wins will offer him the VP slot.
