Rubio distances himself from the tea party movement 1 day after being elected

What is your thought on Rubio distancing himself from the tea party? do you think he is being legit?

How does this relate to us?

Doesn't matter if he's a Tea Partier or a Republican, he's voting against the Dream Act no matter what.

And he's parents were from the cuban exile, and he talks about american dream... what a fa_it and a hypocrite b__ch
SAD!)!

I don't know, the guys acceptance speech had many portions detailing into his immigrant history, and how his parents came here partially to give their children greater opportunities in life, and how he was more interested in running this election in favor of the children that would one day inherit the burdens of this country.

It seemed too reminiscent of the reason many of us dreamers came into this country, couple that with a senatorial debate where he stated his support that illegal immigrants that served in uniform should be given the opportunity at US citizenship and stating his only reason against the DA about the 2 million people that would benefit (which sounded like complete BS that he only stated when he did not have enough time to come up with anything more tangible). The guy has in my opinion toned down somewhat on immigration, and this turn of events where he is biting the hand that supposedly helped him win the election (the tea party) and stating his allegiance to the GOP which is less extreme on so many issues.

It gives me a little hope, maybe even a little hope is too much hope, but w.e., without hope my only other options are depression/anxiety or giving up, and I have been here to long to start packing my bags.

Besides the tea party needed him to bridge the latino support after they have taken a stance that favors mass deportations, with him out of the tea party, they are left supporting something that will, i hope turn too toxic for them and essentially guarantee their demise among the latino and immigrant vote.

anything that hurts the tea party, I consider good news, wherever it comes from.

Tea Party is just all about fiscal conservatism, they don't care about social aspects. Don't let MSNBC or CNN fool you.

The Tea Party favors Republicans only because they both want fiscal conservatism. It's the Republicans that want mass deportation, not the Tea Party.

Rubio seems to be on the fence in my opinion. Sometimes he says yes others he says no.

At one point i actually thought he was playing hardcore politics with the Republicans...because it couldn't fit in my mind that a immigrant himself was goin against his ppl...so i thought he was all talk just to get elected...but we'll see.

you have it backwards buddy. The tea party favors mass deportation, republicans well, there may be a few however, there are others that take a more liberal stance on immigration and would favor the DA, they have just been contributing their votes to ensure the filibuster in past elections.

Look at senator collins (I think that was her name), she was in favor of repealing the DADT, and in favor of the DA, but she voted no on the defense bill, she was a republican and claimed that she did not like how the bill was brought up, sounded like complete BS to me. There are many more that claim to be on the fence regarding the DA.

lie to gullible and ignorant voters to get elected and then turn around and stick it to them? It's as old as political parties.

the most resonant example that comes to mind was a presidential election where monopolies and powerful business people put a lot of money into the advertising hoping to be able to control the candidate for their benefits. long story short, when the candidate became president he pushed the type of laws that made it almost impossible to have a monopoly and destroyed the price fixing scheme many were employing.

don't recall which presidential race this was, but its in the history books.

its more like lie to gullible and ignorant investors so they support you and people that support them support you and then turn around and stick it to the investors that hoped get a lot in return from you.

so much for tea party pretty boy, as rubio was so affectionably called...
