Back in his run for the senatorial seat, he claimed (on TV) that the GOP spent millions to stop his candidacy in their support of Charlie Crist (which now this has been confirmed) Many negative and deceitful ads. The Tea Party carried his race for victory. He was about to lose before they got involved. It was a nasty election. Now, it seems so strange to see him aligning with the GOP pick while not giving any support to Newt ( whom the Tea Party in Florida are supporting)

Exactly!
Rubio defends Romney because ‘Romney helped him in the 2010 senate run’ but is too chicken to vote now with the tea party who sent him to the senate!
You have just identified some of the reasons why many of us refuse to either join a political party or do any work for one.
Too many compromises have to be made. Being a purist and inflexible will get you ostracized; being a chameleon would wreck my conscience. But maybe our officeholders are a different breed.
