Rubio is not a “bad” guy, but he is disappointing as a tea party candidate. So is Rand Paul and Tom Cotton, and a few others. I know it is very difficult to judge one’s character, but there are some people who really have a knack for it. We need these kinds of people working within the network that can sift out those who talk the talk, but don’t walk it. That takes time. But it is a necessary thing. If we don’t vet these candidates better, we’ll have more egg on our face than an omelet. Personally, I’m getting very frustrated with those who want tea party support, but then want us to keep away from them after they are in office...the “let us alone” crowd...that once elected, have better things to do than keep their promises. You will always have a few losers, but they need not be the majority. We can do better.
Check out Ted Cruz. He's not afraid.
