Discussion: Rubio Skips Votes Because He's 'Frustrated' With Pace Of Senate

Discussion for article #242155

Well at least heā€™s honest about it.

Poor bastards really believed Rove when he said the conservatives would rule forever and now he feels all butt hurt because they donā€™t. Iā€™ll tell ya bud, it ainā€™t gonna get any better anytime soon either.

If you donā€™t vote and you donā€™t work with the other Senators, exactly how do you think youā€™re helping Florida voters with issues that affect them along with the rest of the country?

By the way, Marco, you missed the part where your party is in charge of the Senate, so you canā€™t blame Democrats for how itā€™s being run.

Hey if he doesnā€™t vote he can run on what he would have voted based on what the polling numbers tell him were the popular way to have voted.

ā€œVoting is not the only part of the Senate job,ā€ Rubio said

We can only hope ā€¦ but then weā€™d have an interesting decision: Grayson or Bernie. Bernie has the history but, what does history, science or reality have to do with anything anymore, anyhow! We can only hope ā€¦

Umm, Marco, baby, votes are how the Senate does its business. If that tends to interfere with your campaign schedule, then maybe you should step down, 'cause it looks like you just donā€™t time for all that tiresome voting stuff.

The Senate is the slower, more deliberate chamber. At least in theory. Now itā€™s Chock Full Oā€™ Nuts.

And he wants to be president because the cooperation and pace of progress is so much better between the Oval Office and the Congress?! Logic like a colander.

What kind of ā€˜work ethicā€™ is this? How delusional and self-important can he be to think that he does not have to fulfill his responsibilities - because he is ā€˜frustratedā€™ ??? ! ! !

Seems to be the wayā€¦ get elected then find an excuse, any excuse, to not do the jobā€¦must be nice especially when voters are stupid enough to return you next election. Ugh!, county clerk, senator, judge, governor (well she at least quit), ā€¦

He obviously never heard of the conceptā€¦when your defending your no vote record, youā€™re already losing the battle.

Nor another simple concept: if you hate your job quit!

So heā€™s saying he finds his job frustrating so heā€™s just not going to do it? He really is just Sarah Palin with a dick.

Honest about it, my ass!

Heā€™ll be even more frustrated if he continues to flail in the GOP raceā€¦

Heā€™s there for his constituents in Florida. Itā€™s good to know that Florida Corporate-Americans will always have an ear for them with Rubio.

Actually, Palin accomplished a few things. Marco has literally no personal accomplishments after a decade in state legislature and four years as a US Senator.
