The Rubio Renaissance
We’ve long mocked the foreign policy credentials and domestic rhetoric of Florida’s Junior Senator, but it appears at this point in time, Marco Rubio is making a very calculated, somewhat quiet yet effective comeback on the national stage. Rubio has risen from being falling star, dead Presidential candidate and potentially endangered one-term Senator to top-tier Republican […]
Iran letter shows once again that Marco Rubio is #notreadyforprimetime
In an absolutely shocking development, 47 Republican Senators interjected themselves harmfully into the foreign policy mire yesterday by signing an ill-advised and potentially dangerous letter regarding Iran. After the backlash ensued, one of the letter’s signatories, Florida’s Junior Senator Marco Rubio doubled down this morning claiming he’d sign another similar letter. In fairness to the […]

By Hannah Williams Florida’s Republican voters might have a tough time selecting their choice for the 2016 Republican Presidential Nominee.

With her support of the Keystone pipeline and a vote against Nancy Pelosi, she is distancing herself from the Democrats and the internet is abuzz with criticism. However, in the long run, minority party politics […]
Monday Musings – Rick Scott Inaugural, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and immigration reform, legislative right-wing agenda, Broward County or Fort Lauderdale?
While there are some big names coming to Rick Scott’s inauguration, the event keeps being played down as a low key affair. Even though the Governor has much to celebrate, the $800,000 affair will be the most under-celebrated inauguration in recent history. However, a look at the donors make it very clear who will be […]
Marco Rubio is a hypocrite – Cuban embargo edition
Hypocrisy is nothing new to Florida’s Junior Senator. Time and again we have seen he has contradicted himself on one issue after another. Rubio knows little about foreign policy yet consistently sounds off on the subject.
Is Marco Rubio a hypocritical coward?
Senator Marco Rubio’s ideological dogma obviously is too much for him to grasp the significance of the erosion of American moral authority thanks to yesterday’s release of a Senate report on torture. Rubio’s galling tweet below echoed the statements of the more extreme elements of the GOP, while not appreciating America’s reputation in the world […]

My grandfather is a former member of the Madras State Legislature, the Kerala […]
