Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: WHY is Marco Rubio Backing John Cornyn for NRSC Chair...?
0 comments Posted by queen at 6:38 AMWhadda-deal for John Cornyn...
what did the kid get us in return?
That's right... the same John Cornyn that tried -and failed- to screw-over Rubio in Florida by putting-in the fix for Sunkist Crist is now running unopposed... and Marco Rubio reportedly supporting his bid to remain NRSC Chairman!
Predictably, conservatives aren't taking the news too well...
Other McCain:
Sen. John Cornyn is expected Tuesday to formally make a bid for another two years as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
GOP sources confirm to CNN that the Texas Republican will put his name up for nomination for re-election as NRSC chairman, as the Senate Republican Conference meets behind closed doors. According to the sources, the two-term senator is not expected to face any opposition in his bid to remain as NRSC chairman, and has already secured the support of a number of new Republican Senators, including Marco Rubio of Florida, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Rob Portman of Ohio, and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire. (CNN)
Are you freaking kidding me? Marco Rubio supporting that treacherous bastard who tried to put the fix in for Charlie Crist?
An unsettling development to be sure... but consider this:
In the House -ever since John Boehner and Eric Cantor made the wise move and good-faith gesture of offering TEA-Party-propelled rookies a place at the table- there's been a spirit of deal-making in the air... culminating in a sudden about-face by Mitch McConnell as he pivots to support Jim DeMint's earmark ban.
Did ole Mitch see the light? Doubtful... more like the writing on the wall, TEA Party power has got these ossified DC pachyderms back on their heels now. As Sarah Palin says, the GOP must join the revolution... or become irrelevant. A pragmatic deal was made in the House to avoid party infighting and get on with the vital business of saving the country... and in the process, the Republican Party.
So... just what deal did Rubio and other freshmen Senators make to support a man who tried -and failed- to destroy their rise..? Must have been something significant put on the table to snuff all challenges just like that... or so logic dictates.
And is Rubio really that malleable and unprincipled as to sell-out before he's even seated? I for one don't think so... just doesn't make sense: he already beat the NRSC, Dems, and Charlie Crist handily, coming from behind to whip them all.... why should he fear Cornyn now?
There has got to be more to this one... and the genuine grassroots conservatives that put Rubio if office need some genuine answers.

Lessons of 2010: RUBIO -not Romney- Republicans in the Drivers' Seat for 2012
0 comments Posted by queen at 9:00 AM"Usually, a figure like Romney is the big shot
who arrives
in town to boost a little guy like Rubio.
This time, it's the other way round..."
With Marco Rubio pretty much running-away with it in Florida, all those with presidential ambitions on the Republican side are taking-note of the rapidly evolving political landscape in this country... and making hurried adjustments.
Two things have become apparent re. 2012: Better give us a small-government, Reaganite-conservative... the TEA Party movement will hold de facto veto power over the nomination.
And it won't necessarily be the next-guy-in-line this time, either... both these developments likely sound less than ideal to professional presidential candidate Mitt Romney- the father of RomneyCare does have some explaining to do.
Toby Harnden from The Telegraph (UK) was in Florida this weekend as Mitt was actually stumping for Marco Rubio's all-but-sealed Senate bid. But with GOP rising-star Rubio up 12 points over Orange Charlie, why was Romney even there... and who was more likely to benefit from the association?
America is now making a sharp turn to the right... and the next couple of years look to be quite different than the last:

Eight points ahead of Orange Charlie now...
A new Public Policy Polling poll out today -the day of his official GOP nomination- has Marco Rubio beginning to pull-away:
Go get 'em, Marco... we're counting on you.

Ten Buck Fridays is a grass-roots New Media initiative to direct modest weekly donations towards a worthwhile Reaganite-style true conservative running in midterms this November.The featured candidate is chosen by our readership in a weekly poll... your participation is valued in this selection whether you can spare $10-20 this week or not, we all know times are tough here in the darkest depths of the grim Obammunist era.
Here's our weekly poll...
Ten Buck Fridays: Who needs our help?
Me? I’m voting for Marco Rubio in the Florida senate race- which is running neck and neck. Besides the fact Marco Rubio is a principled conservative all the way, I want this Quisling POS Charlie Crist humiliated: if nothing else, as a warning to others like Scozzafava that cross the RNC and good-faith political donors who were under the impression that they were supporting a Republican. And you know the Left wants Crist to pull it off running as an independent to reduce the influence of the TEA Party movement in GOP primaries... that can't be allowed to happen.
Right Klik posted short profiles of each candidate in today's poll.... here's a brief refresher on GOP rising-star Marco Rubio:

Despite the shifting political sands of the past two years, one thing has been constant: Mitt Romney running for president.
Having spent many millions of his personal fortune being defeated in 2008, he scarcely paused for breath and just carried on with his 2012 bid. Campaigning up and down the country during the mid-terms, Romney has been endorsing candidates, holding fundraisers and building up the kind of network of goodwill that traditionally stands White House aspirants in good stead.
His message is finely honed and has resonance. Matinee Mitt will never look like that regular guy next door but he's stopped tending to his bouffant thatch, shed his tie and loosened up a little.
Talking to several hundred fired-up Republicans crammed into Benedetto's Italian restaurant in a strip mall in Land O'Lakes, Florida on Friday, Romney accused Obama of trying to smother "the very creed of America" with taxes, excessive regulation and the growth of what Margaret Thatcher called the nanny state.
But the star of the show was not Romney but Marco Rubio, who seems to be coasting to victory in the Florida Senate race...
