Yeah...right. Rubio's only human. I am really sick of people who build our guys up into golden idols and then tear them down and curse them when they prove to be merely human. I fully expect to see you posting similar comments about Cruz in the not too distant future.
Yep, Cruz will be a god until the ‘one’ vote where he compromises on something or votes slightly wrong on the ‘one’ issue........
I have been critical of Rubio for a year, now, and have never said anything in favor of him. He is well loved by conservatives for what seems to me to be the same reasons liberals love BO. A smooth talker who can schmooze the other side, who can cater to the Hispanic vote with zero obvious regard for the Constitution, which people even on the right seem willing to forgive for votes.
He was very vocal in favor of the UN’s sovereignty over the US, and I have cited that since I did a search after everyone was fawning over him. He has always frightened me.
So, I’m actually sick of people adoring these guys with no research, but with the sensibilities of a 15 year old with a crush, and I always held that position.
While Cruz was citing, during the filibuster, personal experience in defending the Constitution, Rubio was citing lines from “The Godfather”, while saying he did not know whether he was keeping up with the argument. It was just as doofus as his drink of water which I never defended. I couldn’t watch and when I finally did it was worse than I thought.
My opinion, as has always been, of Rubio is such that I would not have been surprised if he had gone to the dinner, and has credit for not having done so for knowing which way the wind is blowing.
Cruz, on the other hand, is sincere.
Rubio is a good conservative as is Cruz. Cruz is more of a strict Constitutionalist and the more conservative of the two. He is also my Senator. Go Cruz!
I voted for Rubio for Senate and I’m glad I did. Is he perfect? No. But he was light years better than Charlie Crist or the liberal Democrat he was running against. Plus, I think he’s better than roughly 90% of the U.S. Senators. If we can keep “moving the bar” and have Rubio be our worst problem, we’ll be in very good shape indeed.
Having said that, Ted Cruz was very impressive during the filibuster and I look forward to more good things from him.
