A Miami Herald article of this morning says:
"A tea party caucus of U.S. senators convenes Thursday for the first time, but one of the movement's biggest stars doesn't plan to be there.The meeting -- at least for now -- is not on Sen. Marco Rubio's schedule, said spokesman Alex Burgos, who pointed out that the freshman senator had yet to make up his mind about joining any caucus."
Worse yet was this quote from said spokesman Burgos:
``He's proud of his relationship with the tea party movement,'' Burgos said. ``He shares with the movement a commitment to tackling debt, defending the free enterprise system and restoring our limited government tradition. It's the same case with other causes that have been brought to our attention, he hasn't made any decision one way or the other.''
If Mr. Rubio can't associate himself with the Tea Party, I'd just as soon disassociate the Tea Party from him! Now. Loudly!
We need to make our feelings about this known to Mr. Rubio. His reticence should be a warning to us. Failure to change his position, or lack of it, should result in the end of our support for him forevermore.
How much longer can we continue to support the lesser of two or more evils?
I for one don't disagree with Re. Rubio.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to be put in a position of authority over Congress I would eliminate any, and all so called caucus'.
They fly in the face of what our Founders intended for our form of government.
They are nothing but internal special interests, which are beholding to external special interests.
