MARCO RUBIO SKIPS CRITICAL VOTE TO FUND GOVERNMENT, AVOIDS VOTING TO FUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD
Breitbart ^ | 09/29/15 | Katie McHugh

GOP primary contenders Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Lindsey Graham skipped a critical cloture vote that allowed Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell’s plan to fund the government, including Planned Parenthood, to move forward without risking a shutdown.

That means Rubio and Graham, for whatever reason, skipped a key vote that would have shown where their allegiances lie regarding funding for the highly controversial abortion provider, which, based on recent undercover video investigations, is in the business of selling aborted baby body parts to the highest bidder. ........

Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, on the other hand, were present and voted “no.” Cruz did so with extraordinary criticisms of GOP leadership, including McConnell.

“Notice how much energy Majority Leader McConnell devotes to attacking conservatives? Notice how much energy Speaker Boehner devotes to attacking conservatives?” Cruz said on the Senate floor on Monday evening in a scathing speech about leadership, in which he accused McConnell and Boehner of cutting a deal with the Democrats–about the worst possible thing they could have done.

You may be right. I don’t know him, or as I said, his pre Congress positions well enough to say you’re not.

Naturally he isn’t anyone I’m supporting for president regardless.

I can actually see that side of him though, so indeed you’re probably on to something. I also look back to him being kind of a Jeb protege, and well... nuff said!
