"He started off his remarks saying a lot of you don't agree with my position on immigration but I did what I thought was right for the country," Niger Innis, chief strategist of TheTeaParty.net, told the Tampa Bay Times. "He only spent about 30 seconds on it. He knows most people in the room disagree with him but it was respectful. No eggs were thrown at him.
"He spent much more time a good 10 minutes talking about Obamacare and the moral and practical and economic responsibility that tea party members and conservatives have to derail Obamacare."
Rubio in his brief immigration remarks mentioned how he does not plan on pressing the House on immigration. "He's given his pound of flesh to those who want comprehensive immigration reform," Innis said. "We disagree with him but it was courageous. But he's said his part. I think he's done. I think he realized he has to remind those in the tea party that on 95 percent of the issues, he is right in line with them. His record is sterling except for one major blemish."

“The Tea Party.net” has nothing whatsoever to do with the TEA Party.
Colonel Allen West will be challenging rubio in the primary and rubio will fold like a pair of nothings that he is.
NO! Rubio sold us out to La Raza.
First off, I’m the leader of the tea party and secondly, nobody asked me.
I certainly hope so
Rubio is fooling himself, if he thinks he can waltz back into the Tea Party’s good graces. He is discovering that the Tea Party isn’t like the Republican Party, and he can’t fake conservative principles.
May he live a cursed, wretched life.
Romney never had a chance because he never denounced RomneyCare. So Rubio must denounce his own latest Shamnesty.
He was named after a country, just like Jordan Weiner.
probably too late for that
Damn near impossible to come back from walking the plank. I say he’s done.
According to Niger's wiki, he's a Republican consultant who's appeared on FoxNews, MSPMSBS, etc., etc. He was hired by this *tea party* organization in Jan 2013.
For rubes to get my vote he will be required to learn to flap his arms and fly with his pot bellied pig, Juan Mc Sucka, not in a million years!!!
If little marco needs to “recover” with the Tea Party, well, I think this is a classic case of “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice.......”.
No thanks McCain jr. Get lost RINO. You’re done.
Not in a million years.
Sorry, Marco. When you crammed the immigration reform crap down our throats, you lost me forever.
“Colonel Allen West will be challenging rubio in the primary and rubio will fold like a pair of nothings that he is.”
I hope you’re right; I’ll vote for Allen West over Rubio (or anybody else for that matter) any day of the week.
If he thinks that bill is good for the country, he isn’t my candidate and never will be.
Eeeeexactly.
