Marco Rubio says that if there is a terrorist attack in America, it will be because of people who voted against NSA surveillance, and he has previously criticized Ted Cruz for voting against it. So he seems to be saying that future terrorist attacks will be on Ted Cruz's head. Additionally, one of his super-PACs is running an ad saying that Cruz voted to weaken our ability to fight terrorists.
What exactly did Cruz vote for? Cruz voted for a bill that stops the NSA from collecting all phone records from all Americans. There is no reason for the government to keep details on all our phone records. Remember the days when the government had to show "reasonable suspicion" and needed a warrant to get our private information? Ever since the Bush administration, that has been ignored, and the government has been gathering data on all of us.
It's been a tremendous invasion of privacy, and it has been totally unnecessary, since 99% of us are not terrorist suspects. Cruz voted to end this policy in order to protect our privacy while still giving the government the ability to request specific phone records from specific individuals of interest. In other words, the government still has free rein to go after terrorists, while the privacy of most law-abiding citizens are protected.
This is what Marco Rubio is complaining about. He seems to think that only a Big Brother government that keeps track of the private information of every citizen can keep us safe. His ignorance of this is what one might expect of a slacking C student attacking a top Harvard grad.

Sounds like Marco Rubio hired John McCain to advise him.
ROFLMAO....ok gang of 8...you tell us about this!!!
I’m a 100% Trump supporter, but this should be good how the ‘gang of 8’ is going to blame this on Cruz....
We can down confirm that the Washington repubbie establishment really is as stupid as we thought they were.
Mad Mo founded Islam upon terrorism - the Koran refers to the use of terror upon unbelievers many times.
Know Muslims - Know terror.
No Muslims - No terror
CHOOSE!
Well Marco Since illegals are flooding the borders are you to blame? I think So!!!
The despicable Amnesty & Open Borders Pimp Marco Rubio is UNACCEPTABLE anywhere on the ticket. The duplicitous Marco Rubio, puppet of the ‘RATS, Senator Schumer & the Open Borders/low wage advocating Chamber of Commerce is UNACCEPTABLE. He has shown his true colors and will NEVER get my vote for ANY position he running for.
Or Brad Dayspring. Marco is sounding desperate and pathetic. The NSA couldn’t even nab the Boston terrorists whom they had been warned about specifically-—TWICE!
This guy should really just drown in his own stupidity and flop sweat.
mcCain? how about CLINTON??
Do you think he is still drinking the ‘Trump water and towels” that Trump sent to him? LMAO.....
Rubio reminds me of a kiss ass freshman fraternity pledge boy, wanting to make a really good impression so that he is selected into the Elite fraternity on campus... wishing that one day he would be the BMOC.
I can see him bent over, his pants down to his ankles, getting smacked on the ass by a paddle, saying “thank you sir, may I have another?”
But his advocacy for amnesty and open borders would have nothing to do with it?
When we have (not if) another terrorist attack it will be the fault of our own stupid government (Rubio for one) that keep letting these people in and making excuses for them .
KEEP THE TERRORIST OUT and stop harassing grandma’s at the airport while letting Saudis enter without so much as a pat down .
You really have to wonder how many of these traitors are on the Saudi payroll
The NSA didn’t stop the Boston Marathon bombings, and Russia warned us.
The NSA didn’t stop the Muslim who attacked classmates with a knife, and that fellow was on a terror matrix.
The NSA didn’t stop either Fort Hood attack, and Nadal Hassan was a flaming jihadi, presenting papers on how Muslim soldiers may feel ethically required to kill coworkers.
The NSA instead is too busy studying the Tea Party as potential terrorists and compiling data on the Republicans, the people the Democrats consider the greater threat than Muslims.
