Aside from the fact that I am all "woot woot" about my home states Senators.....did anyone see that there is a Senator from Idaho with the last name Crapo?  I just don't know what to say.

He's been a quiet bastion of as conservative as their Lordships in the Senate get for years now.  Having a little trouble back home with a DUI, but otherwise pretty good

I keep hoping that Rubio was a misprint or something. Why is it every repuke that I like lets me down at some point?

I guess they get pulled into a lot of different directions.  I just hope he doesn't get influenced by the likes of McCain and Graham.  Obama just voted present on difficult decisions when he was in the State Senate and as a US Senator.

Well it does worry me a bit that they choose Rubio to rebut the state of the union.

Rubio's pretty young and has only been in the Senate a couple of years.  But I would hate to see him go down the go-along to get-along road like the good 'ol boys.

At least Rubio isn't as bad as Charlie Crist would have been.  :-)

Here is a list of the repukes who voted yes.

Burr (R-NC)
Coats (R-IN)
Coburn (R-OK)
Collins (R-ME)
Corker (R-TN)
Graham (R-SC)
Hatch (R-UT)
Kirk (R-IL)
McCain (R-AZ)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Rubio (R-FL)  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Of that list the only surprise to me is Rubio.
Everyone else is the usual RINO suspects and a couple of names I'm not familiar with.

This sucks I voted for Rubio and he does this, I voted for Rick Scott and he ends up embracing 0bamacare, and earlier this year Steve Sutherland voted for Boner for Speaker.

Maybe you need to stop voting?

I am just joshing you Freep.  I love ya.

While I applaud the man for his filibuster and highlighting a question that needed answering, if he keeps pushing amnesty and sounding like Rubio's twin sister, he can go screw himself.
