GOP primary contenders Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Lindsey Graham skipped a critical cloture vote that allowed Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnells 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 Democratsabout the worst possible thing they could have done.

Sessions, Cotton perhaps
what about Rand??? where was he?
He voted no.
Gutsy, Marco.
Rand was siding with Mitch today and made remarks against Cruz...cuz he’s a turd just like the rest of the GOPE
That’s just disturbing. Just plain disturbing
Rubio was finished when he backed the gang of six on amnesty and said one thing in English and the opposite in Spanish. He is a two-faced little crap-weasel.
I suppose he could have voted “present”, if he were...present.
Trump is right. Worst record in the Senate.
Ahem, the lawyers from the crap-weasel union will be contacting you shortly. This insult will not be taken lightly. ; )
Says a lot about ole DC establishment Marco
Agreed—I was limiting the list to the Senate.
I am at a loss to think of others.
I think even Joni Ernst has joined the dark side.
Profile in courage.
There is no excuse for missing this vote, but; Cruz is no one to blast others for missing votes. Cruz has missed 11% or over 100 votes thus far.
Cowards.
Kind of reminds me of when Cruz skipped the vote on AG Loretta Lynch.
WOW! I remember Trump mentioning that.
Rubio the “skipper”
Coward. This man is a coward.
