Looks like somebody’s actually paying attention and fighting for us over there.

Is Rubio politically bi-polar or I am just going through a crazy love -hate relationship.

Filibuster if you have to, Rubio. Rand showed you how to use the tool - use it.

Maybe I’m too cynical, but my BS detector is buzzing.

Attempt to reclaim some of the attention from Senator Paul?

You’re exactly correct...and Rubio remains a RINO and not trustworthy.

Maybe, but if he can make a dent in obamacare, then I don't care what his motives are.

Rubio is the leaf in the wind, he cannot make up his mind what he wants to be.

Looks that way. Don't worry though. Senator Rubio's detractors should be over here shortly to remind us that he's nothing but a GOP-e RINO puppet.

So I take it you're against defunding Obamacare? Or are you just simply against Rubio no matter what he does?

Pro-Amnesty Rubio who rejected joining the Senate Tea Party caucus cannot be trusted...get it?

Too bad Boehner refused to strip it out.

While I appreciate the stand, Rubio is in a distinct minority. Unless ALL pubbies follow his lead...but he’s a member of the Senate “wackos”, along with Paul and Cruz.
