Judas had his price: 30 pieces of silver.
Marco Rubio also had his price for betrayal, but it was considerably higher.
In 2010 Marco Rubio portrayed himself as tough on borders and illegal aliens to gain massive Tea Party support to win himself a Senate seat. Here is basically all you need to know about that from a 2010 debate, trying to frame rival and former Republican Charlie Crist as soft on amnesty:
RUBIO: "First of all, earned path to citizenship is basically code for amnesty. It's what they call it....America cannot be the only country in the world that does not enforce its immigration laws. It is unfair to the people that have legally entered this country to create an alternative pathway for individuals who entered illegally and knowingly did so. If you do that, you will never have a legal immigration system that works....No one is going to follow the law if there is an easier way to do it."
Of course we all know what happened: a massive, naked betrayal of his base in order to pimp Chuck Schumer's 'Gang of 8' bill to his fellow Republicans while lying to talk show hosts and their audiences across America. Rubio was even caught telling different lies to English and Spanish-speaking audiences.
He succeeded, and the bill passed the Senate. But this betrayal has come at a huge cost to his support among his base. In just the past 4 months, Rubio's support among likely Republican voters has dropped by 16 points, and he has fallen to 4th place in early Iowa presidential polls. In Florida, there is even a (legally dubious) move afoot to recall him.
But while Rubio may have paid a price in political support , he was being rewarded by open borders lobbyists and Big Business for putting their interests ahead of the American people. As CNN reported:
In the second quarter of 2013, Rubio brought in $3 million - up 31% from his haul in the first three months of the year, according to a source familiar with his financial reports. That brings Rubio's cash on hand to nearly $3 million.This is an unprecedented quarterly fundraising rush for a Senator who doesn't have to run again for another 3 years.

Anyone that is for Amnesty is for a communist Coup of the United States.
Do you Rubio and other congressional morons who vote for this Amnesty bill realize that 30 million amnestied illegals and their family back home (50 million more) will vote in democrats/socialism to turn the USA into a socialist/communist state?
Hey morons, immigrants , democrats and anyone for this Amnesty bill: communism is no fun and results in extreme poverty for 99% of the population and people are virtual slaves in a dictatorship. think N. Korea or Cuba . that is what you immigrants are doing to America.
what happened to Venezuela will happen 100 times worse here. it’s because democrats are hard core communists, all of them are(pelosi, Reid,Obama et al). they are importing untold millions of democrat voters that will allow them to rule with an iron fist. so 3rd world scum that invade the U.S.A looking to make more money will enable the democrats to turn the USA into a WORSE place than they left.
Rubio, Ryan ,Democrats, Bush? do you realize that? I know democrats want that as that is their goal to advance progressive policies and install a socialist/communist state.
do you Bush, democrats,Ryan , rubio realize that you are for communism?

Only chance to stop the Amnesty bill is for the House not to consider any immigration related bill at all.
Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.
Tell them to stop all Amnesty or immigration bills.they are all trojan horse bills. some will promise border security that will never be enforced anyway.
Bachmann explained it . The House will write a border security bill only . then in conference the senate will add the virus and then bring it back to the house. then the conservatives won’t vote for it but democrats will all vote for it so then they only need 10% of republicans to pass Amnesty and the virus that will destroy America. so any bill at all will be added the virus . so best thing is for Boner to not let any immigration bill at all come out of the House. that is the only hope . call boner and the members of the House.
Tom Tancredo echos what Michelle Bachmann said.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3036438/posts
call congress . no bill at all from the House
and of course boner must not bring the Senate bill for the House to vote on. no senate bill, no border security bill from the House .nothing
The Recess can’t come soon enough. when is it?
He is El RINO!
"Marco the Rube"... America's NEW A$$HAT.
Bingo.
Yes. And he is politically dead to me.
I can't wait to see his ass primaried.
That’s only what’s on the books.
BTTT
He’s even linked via Drudge to Politico as refusing to speak to media.
How could Rubio be this stupid? Democrats have been successful at not only getting their immigration bill through the Senate, but taking out one of our rising stars. A twofer.
For those Senators in the GOP, amnesty is big $$$ and don't fool yourself, Rubio will run in 2016 and will be tough to beat, especially if Obama signs a bill.
‘will be tough to beat in GOP primary’
RINOs are wolves in sheeps' clothing. Each of them are just one pinch away from being full-fledged democrats.
Rubio will be funded by the GOP and RNC no doubt. Like McCain and Romney before him, money donated to him will go down the political toilet (deservedly so).
We Knew it!!!
Rubio is more charismatic, much better looking and sharper then McCain and Rubio were. And he's got the Hispanic card while being a white establishment neocon.. He is dangerous.
But yes I see those same similarities that you cite.
