Rand Paul leads candidates in Senate attendance & calls for Rubio to resign

ecard71 Fri, 12/25/2015 - 11:02

A comparison of the 5 senators running (Lindsey's out - YAY):

Among the senators running for president, Rand Paul has the best attendance in 2015, voting 94 percent of the time.

 
And Rand suggesting that Rubio resign or give back his salary (both would be ideal):
 
“It may have been the most important vote of the year, but certainly the largest spending bill of the year,” Paul said. “And yeah, I think if you are being paid by the taxpayer, you should show up and vote. And so I think this is a big issue. And for him to say he’s only going to show up when it’s a close vote, I don’t think that passes muster. And I think really that he ought to just resign or probably give his pay back because he’s not really earning his pay at this point.”
 
I guess it's blowback for this:

That's what the host called it (at the very end of the video) when Rand said both the left and right should share blame in the increased spending.  Everything is called a "conspiracy" when the establishment gets called out.

He stayed away because he would have been screwed either way.  Vote no to keep up the appearance that he is a conservative or vote yes because he is a military spending hawk.  I don't understand why people like him  People think he is smart and well spoken.  I think he is just good at regurgitating facts from his advisors.  He can't think for himself.  Rand would destroy him in a one on one debate.  But the MSM would no doubt say Rubio won.

He needs to resign.  I live in Florida and am appalled by Rubio.  Don't forget Kasich.  He should switch to Democrat too.  Maybe even Bush.

he's good at rehearsing and regurgitating. He was definitely caught off guard the 1st time Rand called him out on not being a true conservative at the debate. That was fun to watch.

I STILL STAND WITH RAND!

Rubio would have voted for that dismal spending bill.

He would have been called out on it and didn't need the unfavorable media coverage.

It was chocked full of spending for the industrial military complex.

I have a feeling he is not running for his senate seat because he knows he would be challenged and would loose here too.

Hopefully Rand calls him out on it at the next debate.

Rubio should resign and come back as a democrat. In my opinion Chris Christie and Marco Rubio are laughing stocks of the republican party.  Much like cry baby Boehner was. Don't get me started on Paul Ryan , AKA Boehner 2.0   These clowns make Jeb Bush look appealing in comparison. That is not a good thing.
