Christie said 1 good thing about Obama and has been torn apart by the right.

Rubio is the main republican pushing this immigration bill and you have the tea party lining up primary opponents for him now.

2 of the most logical choices for the right, yet the right hates them now.

Destroy? What are you suggesting? A bulldozer? Maybe dipped in acid?

Teabaggers were quietly grumbling about Marco Rubio years before this immigration bill debate. And it started right about the time he was being talked about as a possible VP contender:

Birthers Now Claim Sen. Marco Rubio Isn’t a ‘Natural Born Citizen’ | TheBlaze.com

Even without the immigration bill debate, teabaggers and birthers would be whining about Marco Rubio, because they claim he isn't a US citizen.

Teabaggers = mental defects.

If he doesn't live by the values of the party that elected him
He should get voted out. Imagine what would happen of a democrat voted not to kill unborn children, not raise taxes, no give amnesty to 11 million law breakers, voted increasing entitlement programs or God forbid decreasing the deficet. I think they would be gone on short order yes?

first of all; why in the heck do you care, you are a die in the wool Democrat or appear to be and secondly where are you getting your ideas? Yes, Christie upset a few insiders, but that was then, today is today and tomorrow is in our future. Let me add, Christie is not a right winger on most issues and he doesn't pretend to be one. What opponents are the Tea Party lining up and what makes you think all right wingers are connected with the Tea Party? I might support whoever they are lining up, if I or any of us had an idea who that might be? You know, I think you might be better off sticking to Democrat politics unless you can back up your claims? Of course, according to the left, the Tea Party is dead, so why do you even care?

The poster right above the one you replied to asked why they would or should be expected to vote for someone that doesn't align with their views.

Is this really such an odd concept? I realize that many vote party first, but that seems to me to be the questionable practice.

Would this be like what was done to Hillary Clinton when she was running against Obama?

Look closely at the poster right above me: he doesn't prove a thing. He is one of the most liberal posters on these boards. I know you pay close enough attention to know that. Again, I will ask you, who is the Tea Party supporting and pushing? You decided to spin instead of giving an answer. You may have voted for a govn who was running as a Democrat, but I am guessing he/she was a lib. Everything you have posted seems to spell, liberal, maybe I am wrong, maybe you are middle of the road, but you sure couldn't prove it by your postings. That would be like my saying, I am really pretty liberal even though I do vote Democrat sometimes and certainly have voted for independent candidates.
