Rubio’s changed approach is really puzzling and disappointing.
What he keeps saying about the bill and what is reality with the bill is what we usuallt see from the likes of pelosi.
How can he keep lying? doesn’t he know we are reading the bill and it is really really bad? This bill is so one sided for illegals it is sickening
I hope all Freepers call their Senators before they vote.
thanks for posting this
If you want to be the King you have to do what the Kingmakers tell you.
Another one bites the dust.
We've obviously been had.
It all becomes about the process to these people. Never about solving anything. Add to that the amount of money in Washington and you have the corruption.
You also have politicians that fall in love with their own legislation abandoning all reason.
The stakes are too high to fool with mercurial candidates. And all too often it seems that politicians regard constituents as a zero-sum game. That is, they calculate how many supporters will they lose by adopting a certain position vs. how many unknowns might they gain.
Rubio has to see that he is rapidly losing his base - and not gaining a single voter in his misguided quest for amnesty. The rate at which he is falling suggests that he has done himself irreparable harm.
Politicians are only with the constituents when they are campaigning. Once in office, if they are not with the good old boys program promises get made and higher positions are given to bring them into line.
The problem here are the entrenched incumbents who know the ropes and are happy to show them to the rookies. Get with the lobbyists and then get back to us. Rubio took the bait. I want nothing to do with Rubio. As far as I’m concerned he’s done.
When I learned that he lied about his parents, pretending that they had fled Castro when they didn’t, I knew he was rotten to the core. Don’t blame Washington.
I heard the head of an international ministry say that he stopped meeting with politicians or “important” people in any locale because he recognized in himself the tendency to fall into lap-dog mode with earthly authorities. He didn’t want the Lord’s ministry to others compromised.
We need to pray for our leaders because, really, who is up to facing the charms of power and wealth?
Once he became McCain’s lap dog it was all over.
Jeff Flake beat that by a mile. He was completely in John McQueeg’s pocket before he even swore and started to ignore his oath.
Marco, I hardly knew you, may your political life in DC be short. Shortest time in office-well, maybe Pansy Graham is a contender-before receiving the DC lobotomy.
Not as surprised as some people here. I was thrilled at first when Rubio beat Crist. But, shortly after his election he began making moves (some admittedly subtle) distancing himself from anything tea-party, all while simultaneously cozying up to DC establishment moneymen. Add to this his pathetic reaction towards Brewer and the AZ bill, long before he even started peddling this truly rancid amnesty abomination.
I don’t trust him an inch. Seems to be the exact type of oily professional politician I loathe, even if he does have a track-record of voting mostly conservative.
All politicians should replace the R, I, or D with POS. Rubio (POS), etc.
The only semblance of a two party system in the good old USA, is us and them.
When people understand that, we can start fixing the problem.
Most likely he was corrupted before.
Rubio is better than Charlie Crist. However, he’s not Jim DeMint. He is what I expected, a Jeb Bush Republican.
Rubio was ‘corrupted’ before he got in the senate. He hired his chief of Cesar Conda before he was elected.
Actually, I wonder if Rubio picked Conda, or if Conda and Norquist picked Rubio to carry out their 3 decade long Amnesty JIHAD.
WHO IS CESAR CONDA?? To understand Rubio, you have to understand Conda and Norquist (Rubio’s gang of 8 spokesman).
