Which Congressman Misses The Most Votes?
Vocative ^ | 02/17/15 | Mike Spies

Posted on 10/06/2015 3:40:44 AM PDT by Hanna548

Senator Rubio takes his responsibilities as both a senator and a father seriously. The vast majority of missed votes are when the latter duties take precedent, and he needs to be in Miami for family commitments.

I note that he said "family commitments" not "family emergencies", which should be the ONLY thing that prevents you from doing the business of the people. Perhaps he could politely ask Putin to put off dropping bombs for a day so he can attend his son's baseball game. You can't be a stay at home Dad and President at the same time.

Being president for some people is part of the career plan, ie another line in their resume.

Hillary Clinton, Rubio, Bush and the rest even Cruz and Carson... are frankly not ready, or in some cases will never be ready, to assume the duties of president.

Sorry, Folks...do you see this bunch standing up to the power brokers in this world? I don’t. Cruz, is able, but lacks the ability to bring factions together. He’s burned his bridges big time for now. Best he be part of a Trump Dynasty, and learn the ropes.

The rest are amateurs, apprentices.

Sorry, many hear won’t like to hear this, but in my mind, there is only one person at this time in our history ready to be president.

Trump.

Simple, manufacturing returns to the US and Americans stop paying for over priced crap that third world nations make.

If he's elected president will he blow off presidential duties for family commitments?

I am concerned that he does not have the ability to prioritize properly. He is so young he doesn’t even know the questions yet, let alone the answers.

I agree totally. I honestly believe Trump was made for this moment in time.

When it comes to Rubio I'm as baffled as you are at so many people saying he's ready for the White House.

How sad that you think that America is ready for a pompous bloviating narcissist whose beliefs shift like the wind and who has done nothing that demonstrates a sincerely held conservative belief in his life...but hey you’ll love that single payer healthcare that he’s espousing, right?

What channel are the Kardashians on?

As far as Cruz burning bridges... You mean doing what he said he would do? And it’s people who are seriously considering Trump who are lacking in information. Trump is NOT a conservative and never was. With his mouth he will burn many more bridges. He doesn’t think be fore he talks. Platitudes. I am thinking that Trump is the republicans version of Obama love. No reason just a “Feel”. Boy are we in trouble when we have a great conservative right in front of us and can’t see it. Ted Cruz for President is the only thing real I see out there.

Wow, I don’t think I can put that many big words together this early in the morning, especially without a large dose of caffeine. I take it you support Rubio instead of Trump. I’ll grant you he is more experienced than Obama but that is such a low bar...

Rubio is not ready for prime time. He would just be a puppet POTUS.

“Cruz, is able, but lacks the ability to bring factions together.”

You make it sound like he should be like a McCain or another
Bush. All “factions” should be destroyed and only one left
remaining, Conservatism. Anything less is unacceptable.

So.....I guess his wife is totally helpless and totally incapable to actually raise children huh?

Well? After all, he has to abandon his responsibilities in office to physically attend to all of his children’s needs I guess. I don’t believe that’s the problem at all. The problem is that he a “country club Republican” and delegates all of his responsibilities away and when questioned about it....out comes the “gotta go home and take care of problems now...can’t wait!” I guess he had an early “T” time at the golf course that could not be rescheduled.

This shows that he is highly irresponsible and not actually dedicated to the job he was elected to do. It’s is absolute proof that he “one of them” you know, GOPe.

All that I have heard from him is his amazing rhetoric about his wonder knowledge of foreign affairs while being totally ignorant of both management, knowledge and solutions to LOCAL problems here in America.

Can’t stand the guy.............

Hey, there is a reason that a pompous bloviating narcissist whose beliefs shift like the wind is kicking the shit out of the other candidates. They suck so much worse.(Excluding Ted Cruz of course)

Use that lie while you can, it's soon going to be shot down definitively.

If he were doing so well his numbers would be going up. They have pretty much been flat since the start. He gets his 24-27%. By this time you would think he’d be rising.

We have months to go. Another two or three will fall by the wayside soon. If Trump does not pick up their points...he will falter.

I predict here and now, he doesn’t make it out of South Carolina.

be awful hard to shoot it down when that would be contrary to EVERYTHING hes said about healthcare in this country...

here’s a hint...google “Trump single payer” and read what your savior has actually said.

Being obnoxious won’t advance your candidate. But kindly let me know who you support anyway, so I can avoid voting for him/her like the plague.
