Last week, Paul single-handedly blocked an amendment proposed by Senator Marco Rubio that sought to advance Georgia's application for NATO membership. it was a disagreement between two Republicans that would've gone largely unnoticed except for the fact that yesterday, Jack Hunter, the co-author of Paul's book?The Tea Party Goes to Washington, ripped the lid off the dispute in a column for The Daily Caller.

Besides praising Paul for blocking the amendment, which Hunter says had bipartisan support, the article slams Rubio for failing to focus on the nation's pressing domestic issues.?"Last week, while most senators were focused on the important national issues of war funding and Americans? constitutional liberties, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) seemed more concerned with the fate of a foreign country."
