Marco Rubio, Lampooned for Repeating Himself, Does It Again
New York Times ^ | 2/8/16 | Jeremy W. Peters and Alex Thompson

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Maybe it was just the end of a long, tiring day of campaigning. Or maybe Senator Marco Rubio's opponents have gotten into his head.

But on Monday, Mr. Rubio, the Florida Republican, who has been under relentless criticism for uttering his talking points over and over in Saturday's presidential debate, had another repetitious lapse.

Speaking to a crowd in Nashua, he was lamenting the decline in American family values.

Then he lamented the decline in American values again.

This is what he said verbatim, as his wife and four children looked on:

"We are taking our message to families that are struggling to raise their children in the 21st century because, as you saw, Jeanette and I are raising our four children in the 21st century, and we know how hard it's become to instill our values in our kids instead of the values they try to ram down our throats.

"In the 21st century, it's becoming harder than ever to instill in your children the values they teach in our homes and in our church instead of the values that they try to ram down our throats in the movies, in music, in popular culture."

Mr. Rubio appeared to notice his own echo: As he repeated the word "throats," he caught himself, but proceeded to the end of his sentence nonetheless.

I have visions of Rubio going to Christie crying and saying, “please stop”. I wonder what Christie would do. Christie in actually seems like a nice guy. However, he isn't presidential material either but like others have said, a fantastic Attorney General.

As much as our politics can get heated. I just saw Trump and Christie shaking hands in a dinner. That really is a testament to our politics.

We can cut him some slack, it must get tiring out there, on the trail, to repeat the message looking for votes. Go Rubio.

Or how about this: Clinton, given a blanket pass for lying, does it again.

A lot of what he is saying bears repeating:

As much as I’m not crazy about Rubio for immigration , he made the BEST point at the last debate and was crucified for it by lard ass Christie.

zer0 doesn’t do things because he is too stupid, has no experience or is Incapable. He does things to change America into a Marxist paradise. And is well aware of the consequences of his actions. It’s by design RINOs. Get that through your thick skulls.

I could live with a Rubio presidency a hell of a lot better that a Bush or Christie presidency

“I could live with a Rubio presidency a hell of a lot better that a Bush or Christie presidency”

I understand what you are saying but in the end there isn’t much difference. They are all puppets for the one-worlders.

I have no problem with him repeating himself. It bears repeating! Obama is not incompetent, he is deliberate!

He should have just acknowledged that he is repeating himself. “Yes, I’m repeating myself, because this is a crucial point, and I’m gonna keep saying it until everyone realizes - Obama is NOT incompetent! He is a Leftist! If he were merely incompetent he would have at least gotten SOME things right throughout the course of his career. But he’s a Leftist, and this is what Leftism does to countries.”

Rubio rhetoric is like an old 78 record stuck on the last groove. I heard he was going back to Florida to sell more used cars.

Rubio’s amnesty plans will destroy the country by giving the Democrats a permanent majority

Now it is plain to see, his true identity.
Domo arigato Marco Ruboto.

You draw the most flak when you are over the target and Rubio is drawing a lot of flak right now. Flak for doing what every damn one of them do. Repeating the same answer to the same question, after being asked it forty lebentimes. Has anyone checked Christie’s answer about drug addiction? a one minute answer that is virtually verbatim every damn time.
This is just another red herring thrown up by the GOPe and their candidate(s). Now picked up by the MSM.

Maybe I need to look a little closer at Rubio.

Yeah, cut him some slack.. he’s for amnesty after all.

Gang of Eight:

Sen. Richard J. Durbin, D-IL
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-AZ
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC
Sen. John McCain, R-AZ
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-NJ
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-FL
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY

What’s worse, Rubio repeating speech’s or freepers repeating the same stories over and over and over?
