Marco Rubio responds to angry tea party activists

Weathering conservative attacks on his immigration reform work “has been a real trial,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said Wednesday, in a speech aimed at the tea party activists who helped elect him and are now upset by his work on the issue.

What say you? Rubio (R) betrayed the tea party voters who elected him (conservative voters in Florida) or amnesty-loving bureaucrat?

Now he sees what happens when you talk like a libertarian and govern like any other member of the socialistic inside-the-beltway ruling class.

Tough shit for him.

Social conservatives ain't libertarians.

I said what they talk like, not how they act.

Really? You felt the need to add the (R)?


What a douche...

Marco realizes that the Repub party will cease to be relevant on the national scene unless it nips in the bud the nativists/xenophobes in its ranks.

What a douche...

It was "(Tea Party)" BEFORE the Senate produced their latest immigration bill hence, the angry conservative mob. Now its "(R)"

Republican leadership only wants to bring in two groups of immigrants.

1. Farm workers because the Republican base is to fat, to old and to lazy to pick fruits and vegetables.

2. Immigrants with degrees, preferably ones who graduated from our educational system, the same system the GOP calls liberal, because Republicans aren't able to learn the really difficult stuff.

That's the entire immigration issue in a nutshell.

They're only marginally relevant now...And it's not because they can't round up enough brown people to vote for them.

All we wanted was more focus on securing the border before we announce (to everyone poised for a sprint across the Rio Grande) that we're handing out citizenship like Tijuana Chiclets.

Mr Rubio has already received my nasty-gram

Tea Party voters deserve some of the blame as well. Are there any "Tea Party candidates" that the Tea Party isn't already disappointed with? Rand Paul may be the closest thing to a Libertarian. The rest were always "inside-the-beltway" Republicans that managed to hoodwink Tea Party voters into supporting them.

Hence being an ignorant xenophobe is a prerequisite for a TPM politician.

So much for the ‘rising star.’

it makes me think of Romney voters.

 

[Dot Com]

Rubio (R) is relatively young so he's throwing the old geezers in Fla, who voted for him, under the bus

Perhaps.

But no other republican politician will dare cross the TPM and risk being primaried.

The TPM, social conservatives, Christian fundamentalists, fiscal extremists, and the rest of the dross of the far right will unfortunately be running the GOP for years to come.

I don't disagree. If you want to vote for the same establishment politicians every election cycle, expect the same results. You don't have to support the same tactics by Republicans just because Democrats play the same game.

he basically just told the gullible Floridian xenophobes who elected him
