Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid tore into Sen. Marco Rubio on Thursday, calling on the Florida Republican and 2016 presidential contender to resign his Senate seat as he racks up no-shows on his voting record while campaigning for the White House.
"Why shouldn't he [resign]? He hates the Senate," Reid said in an interview with POLITICO on Thursday. "Why should the taxpayers of this country and people of Florida put up with having only one senator? Doesn't seem fair to me."
Rubio's opponents - both Democrats and Republicans - have attacked the senator for his declining attendance record. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, one of Rubio's home-state newspapers, has called on Rubio to give up his seat, and Jeb Bush also seized on Rubio's missed votes during Wednesday night's Republican presidential debate - although the former Florida governor's attacks were largely seen as having backfired.

Seppuku was considered a honorable form of death for those samurai who had acted against their superiors but for a noble purpose. Ignoble samurai were handled differently.
There is a stark difference between Rubio and both Cruz and Trump on immigration. It’s a deal breaker for me and a lot of conservatives.
If I didn’t know full well that Rubio and Ryan would pass Amnesty, I could almost like Rubio better because of Reid’s request. No sale. Might as well waste a vote for Bush as vote for the Rube.
"Part of the samurai bushido honor code, seppuku was used either voluntarily by samurai to die with honor rather than fall into the hands of their enemies (and likely suffer torture) or as a form of capital punishment for samurai who had committed serious offenses, or performed because they had brought shame to themselves."
Dingy Harry has certainly brought shame on himself and committed serious offenses.
Obama missed twice as many votes as Rubio. Kerry missed three times as many. This disgusting one-eyed worm didn’t complain then.
All the more reason to stay.
Mr. Reid, I got a fantastic new ‘exercise machine’ that you may be interested in. No ejection capacity, (like your last one) and manually operated. I can have it delivered to your office.
Then again, given Old McConnell's history as Senate leader ........
How many did obama miss while he was in the Senate.
Harry hasn’t been getting enough attention lately so he needs to find ways to reinsert himself into the national dialogue. He can’t retire soon enough for me.
I call on Reed to resign.
Bradshaw! Disney’s Dionysus?
“Doesn’t seem fair to me.”
Reid used the word “FAIR”?!?!?
I’m surprised that he didn’t burst into flames or get struck about 80 times by lightning.
That should be enough to lock him up in a mental institution for the rest of his miserable life.
I call on Reid to leave the country
Has Reid resigned yet?
I don’t recall Reid asking Obama to resign his senate seat
Harry Reid is a POS. Case closed.
Reid needs to resign nothing but a senile one eyed bastard that is angry at every American because he is nothing more than putrid piece of dog execrement! There I said it.
