Obama's voting record in the Senate didn't hurt him on the campaign trail, neither will Rubio's. If anything he can wash his hands of this debacle by not being involved, so what difference does it make?dbackjon wrote:Rubio's missed vote comes after he suggested that he could use procedural tactics to try to slow down the legislation, which he said he opposed.HI54UNI wrote:Not that it would have mattered but Rubio missed the vote on this shit sandwich.![]()

“We should use every procedural aspect that we have to slow it down and perhaps force some changes on these things we've been discussing,” Rubio told Fox News

Dumbass.
Note - Cruz, Paul and Sanders voted no. Graham voted yes. Rubio - NO SHOW


It's more he was boasting that he would stop the deal, then within 24 hours lost the chance to stop it because he wasn't there. It will hurt him more in the primaries than if he made it to the general.SDHornet wrote:Obama's voting record in the Senate didn't hurt him on the campaign trail, neither will Rubio's.

If not, then again: what difference does it make?

Not much to say. The worst thing for the establishment on both sides is a Trump vs Sanders election because regardless of who wins either the RNC or the DNC will be outside the White House selling single cigarettes to tourists from the sidewalk, a prospect which causes ol' Chubby to stiffen at the thought..... I'm guessing Hillary won't press the issue the same way Bernie didn't press the issue with Hillary's emails.SDHornet wrote:This. BTW what is going on with Bernie.

Maybe he was there but he couldn't reach his voting button because he's too short? Maybe they mistook him for Herve Villechez?dbackjon wrote:SDHornet wrote: So would have Rubio's vote stopped this from passing?

If he was such a good leader, he could have rallied the troops to his side. Hard to do when you aren't there.

Then why are you such a staunch Obama supporter? Seems pretty hypocritical of the left to call out a candidate on his voting record when, you know, they kinda don't have a problem with it if their guy does it.dbackjon wrote:SDHornet wrote: So would have Rubio's vote stopped this from passing?

That doesn't matter. Obama was a check in the box. Democrats are about building an image, not providing substance. They are the party of no ideas and the Republicans are the party of bad ideas.SDHornet wrote:Then why are you such a staunch Obama supporter?

Free ride for billionaires and corporations, that's all they have. That's why the conk base is so pig-ignorant - who else is going to believe you when you tell them that what's good for Monsanto is good for you.

I believe i was an official in the FDR cabinet who first stated "What's good for General Motors, is good for the country?" 70+ years ago was it not?kalm wrote:idea. singular.houndawg wrote:![]()

That's of course now true in practice for both parties but it's a long standing core principal for conks.

I consulted the wiki and it was Charles Erwin Wilson who was Sec Def under Ike and head of GM prior to that. I was going to say touche' but you're kind of wrong on all counts.LeadBolt wrote:I believe i was an official in the FDR cabinet who first stated "What's good for General Motors, is good for the country?" 70+ years ago was it not?kalm wrote:

Don't worry, the Dems have plenty of warts too what with Statism and such but Houndawg's assertion was spot on, especially how it pertains to conk worship of elitism and power. "Hey, I could be rich, powerful, and ruthless too someday!"Wilson's nomination sparked a controversy that erupted during his confirmation hearings before the Senate Armed Services Committee, based on his large stockholdings in General Motors. Reluctant to sell the stock, valued at the time at more than $2.5 million, Wilson agreed to do so under committee pressure. During the hearings, when asked if he could make a decision as Secretary of Defense that would be adverse to the interests of General Motors, Wilson answered affirmatively. But he added that he could not conceive of such a situation "because for years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa". This statement has frequently been misquoted as "What's good for General Motors is good for the country". Although Wilson tried for years to correct the misquote, he was reported at the time of his retirement in 1957 to have accepted the popular impression.[3]
