"I never missed a vote. Except that once. So I'd make a great President."

Buzzfeed reports on the shoddy attendance record of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) :
Cruz’s attendance at both committee hearings and in the Senate generally has come under criticism recently. Politico reported that Cruz missed 21 of the 135 roll call votes taken in the Senate this year. In addition, the same review noted that Cruz was present at 17 out of 50 public Armed Services committee meetings, and had “below average” attendance at his other committees.
“If you are making the point he can’t talk about such topics because he wasn’t at these two hearings that is utterly ridiculous,” a Cruz spokeswoman said. “But I don’t know what your point is because you have no question. Do I want to comment on whatever it is you have here? Sure, use the first sentence because I find this inquiry ridiculous. But if you have an actual question instead of just lining up a series of links and a bland ask for comment, ask it.”
Aside from the unwarranted tone of an aide who is paid by the taxpayers as to why Cruz is not doing the job taxpayers sent him to do, she seems intentionally obtuse. He can talk on whatever topic he pleases, but that is not the point.
The concerns are three-fold. First,

The Left (including the mainstream media) will always tell you WHO THEY FEAR!
Just like she was with Newt four years ago - she can sniff out the real threat to her precious Mitties and Jebbies and Rovies....bless her ignorant and butt ugly heart.
Rubin should go check Obama’s record as a Illinois State or US Senator first. Or have we just dispensed with all that because it is “old news?”
"I never missed a vote. Except that once. So I'd make a great President."
Another RINO hit job on Cruz.
Better than showing up for every vote and endlessly caving to Obama.
Rubin is concerned again...
A fourth-rate (and I’m being generous) Hollywood lawyer criticizing a first-rate legal genius and stalwart conservative and given millions of pages of paper, barrels of ink and millions of electrons to do it. Only in America.
But did he vote, “Present.”
I remember a junior senator from Illinois never bothered to take a stand. He’s our feckless leader now.
They didn’t seem to have a problem when Senator Obama missed +90% of the votes in Congress.
a quick google search and I find from various sources, Obama skipped 19 of 37 VA committee meetings in the 109th congress. Obama’s attendance record was the second worst of all Democrats on the committee. Barack Obama also missed 208 of 1171 votes (18%) since Jan 6, 2005.
Oh my! Guess he should join Obamala on the golf course.
She’s scared to death.
Nice catch. Thanks.
He is running for President so raising money unfortunately is his priority. It has to be since it costs a billion dollars between the two candidates to run for President of the United States. You know he has more important things to do like go to parties of his gay buddies.
Anyone have a link to an article she wrote on Obama’s or Kerry’s attendance record?
I’m sure If you looked up her articles from 2007, she was equally as harsh on Obama. /s
And Ms. Rubin has a problem with the truth. Never let the truth get in the way of your agenda.
I tend to resent those in Congress and the Senate who are lacking in the job the taxpayers pay them for. It seems like stealing to me.
