Surging Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio sought to tamp down an escalating controversy Saturday, releasing previously secret records that detailed his use of a Florida Republican Party credit card for personal expenses.
The records, which cover a 22-month period in 2005 and 2006, combined with previously disclosed credit card statements, show that Rubio charged more than $22,000 in personal expenses to the card while the account incurred more than $1,700 in delinquency and late fees over a four-year period while he was in the Florida legislature.
Rubio has maintained that he paid out of his pocket for any personal expenses on the American Express card, which he used from 2005 to 2008. But he has been beset with questions from political rivals about his spending, and been criticized by opponents for his years-long refusal to detail personal spending and release statements for most of the first two years he had the card.

Your account is cancelled, the statement read. Please consider a Personal Card.

Go ComPost go! We hate Rubio’s guts too!
Rubio cannot be trusted. No way.
As Trump said - he is trying to live beyond his means. Wants to be a mover and shaker. So far, he has been a shaker.
The Obama economy hurts people at all levels.
Plus he sweats like a teenage boy on his first date.
Rubio see the Presidency as a way to become rich. The only time he has applied himself in the Senate was to try to pass amnesty. Now he wants TPP.
Go Away Marco!
At the very bottom the poor taxpayer foots the bill for these “Credit Card Clowns.”
...and another one bites the dust...
How so? Did GOP of Florida default on their credit card? How did the tax payers suffer? I see you wearing the clown suit.
I want my money back from those two stupid water bottles I bought off him....
If he wants to get rich, stay in the Senate and mimic Harry Reid. Usually I think stuff like this is small ball,but there is a real pattern here, and not much evidence Rubio has learned anything over time.
Arent you the person that just had a whole thread surrounding you saying you think Bill Clinton is a decent president and you like him? And then spent a couple hours posting scripture to defend your support of a rapist?

Why should conservatives listen to you exactly?
wow Norm. thanks for the heads up.
Do now he is a thief too, besides being a PRO-Amnesty RINO?
Gladly. We have enough leftists subverting us without having them rub our faces in it.
Well my experience is that the “American Express Corporate Card” is so ineptly administered, that I paid off my balance and put the card in a drawer. No more “late charges” for bills paid promptly. No more “negotiations” regarding “What business did you discuss over lunch?” that delayed bill-payment.
And these were problems with “friendly” bill payers — not angry pro-Crist drones.
So, I give the benefit of the doubt here to Senator Rubio.
Go learn how your political money is raised and spent before you criticize me. Money is raised by donation, taxpayer funds, the individual candidate themselves(Such as Trump) Rubio wears the look of a corrupt politician.
Thats your mistake to make. AmEx didn’t make him support Amnesty.
