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

Posted on 09/29/2015 3:19:28 PM PDT by JustaCowgirl

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.

Reminds me of someone else who voted “present” a lot so his views didn’t go on the record .... does Rubio like to golf?

I wouldn’t give Rand Paul any credit, he was trying to sabotage Cruz and Mike Lee (UT) the entire time. He only voted “no” because Dana Carvey’s Turtle had the votes.

Sometimes a ‘no comment’ or skipped vote, can be seen as passively approving that vote, and fooling ones self that their deliberate inaction remains anonymous.
Watch it Marco. tiene que ser mas cuidado con su mentiras!

This is why they hate Cruz. He exposes exactly what they do and what they are.

The article shows why President* Cruz is such a brave statesman.

From the article...“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.

Cruz looks better and better (and stronger, smarter, and more bravely American.)

Rubio had such promise at one time.

Well, that’s gone.

Trump will have a field day with this.

And why is Rubio a Senator if he is not present when he needs to be?

Seems like a picture of the Senate GOP these days.

Another charlatan.

The others to me would be Jeff Sessions and Tom Cotton.

Any others?

The problem is all four have betrayed this country, they all voted for the Corker Bill.

Now Rubio and Graham skipped this crucial vote. Well was not Trump right about Rubio, terrible attendance record a well as voting record. Did he vote present as many times as Obama.
Expect Trump to rip these guys for this especially Rubio, “Senator Light-weight, as Trump calls him.

I agree. I don't give little Rand credit for anything. He promptly went out and trashed Ted Cruz to the press for not being a good boy and daring to criticize the powerful.
