because it was convenient?
finishing the last nail in that coffin?
the sound of beating a dead horse reminds him of disco?

Cuz he is a dubious neocons plant who tries to pass as something else. Education needs study chapter by chapter.

Because nobody really believes McCain or Graham are conservatives. Some people don't know about Rubio.

“We were most surprised by his vote,” Stiles told Yahoo News. “He bills himself as voting against the GOP establishment.”

Why would Stiles and the members of the Campaign for Liberty be surprised that Rubio voted against a bill cutting foreign aid?

Because they can. Because they are correct. Because some idiot would write an article about it and give them free publicity.

So that Rand's own hands would be clean of it.

Because some Tea Partiers still think Rubio is a fiscal conservative.

Because media people from all sides are still pushing Rubio as being some kind of Tea Party-GOP-superstar-presidential contender?

Weak minded peeps are under the influence of the MSM Jedi mind trick with respect to Rubio. I applaud every move that helps expose the fraud for what he really is.

Good to see some positive comments on Yahoo. Some being tired of giving aid to foreign countries and some agreeing Rubio is a Political piece of SH*T.


The number of comments actually saying, "Foreign aid to Egypt is great!!!" is thankfully small. Not a lot of people defending congress of pissing away their money.

Also I thought it was interesting to see some people saying the 1.5 billion is coming back to the Military industrial complex through weapon purchases.

Now wouldn't that be clever?

Offer a country a few bills in aid and you get a major chunk of that back when they buy some toys owned by all your favorite pals?? Hmmm...Fuck me.....There's such great ways in DC to make money that I still haven't even thought of yet...No wonder RP couldn't get more than 13 votes.

Because they are being diplomatic.

I'm not sure I see the benefits of hitting Rubio now. He's not a contender for 2016 at the moment, it looks like Florida wants him replaced as Senator. I could name a couple of Republicans up for re-election in 2014 that would have made better targets.

Standard operating procedure. Keynesian economics. Welfare for the MIC. Corporatism 101.

This needs updating:

"Foreign aid is taking money from the poor people of a rich country, and giving it to the rich people of a poor country, who then buy overpriced stuff from the rich people in the rich country."

Seriously. And when did Rubio ever bill himself as voting against the GOP establishment?

Rubio is the guy who deserves all the heat as opposed to Cruz, but it seems to be the opposite.

Lots of stupid Fox News viewers actually take him seriously as a conservative. They need to be educated, slowly but steadily.
