Speaking of Rubio: Has That Guy Ever Had a JOB? Somebody, please enlighten me.

After reading Rubio's official biography, I couldn't help but notice a few HOLES in his CV. It shows him graduating from Law School at age 25, and getting elected to the Florida State Legislature at age 28; but lists nothing in between. So, are we to take it that he graduated from law school, straight into the political slop trough, and he's been there ever since?

I mean, heck, that's almost as bad as Paul Ryan, but at least HE had a job driving the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile.

And a lot of people who are now middle and upper middle class are all for it. After all, now that they've transited from poverty to the middle class (with the help of their fellow citizens, via government), we can't have any MORE people moving up, can we? That would just diminish MY 'accomplishments.'

I always thought that one of the most telling features of the MINIMUM WAGE debate is that the people who least favor raising the minimum wage are the people who earn just slightly MORE than minimum wage. To them, if you raise the minimum wage...suddenly THEY"LL be minimum wage earners, and they don't like the idea. Gotta have SOMEBODY to look down on!

What makes a con a con, among other things, is they do NOT want others to do well unless they can do better.

Greedy, childish assholes.

So, I don't know why the Republicans are putting so much stock in this clown. (But I'm certainly not going to argue with them, as they're deciding which time bomb to put under their bed.)

I really would like to see the Republicans pick a guy with a glass jaw to be their heavyweight boxing contender.

9. Huh! I'd assumed his obsession with sucking water was just a natural consequence of being a reptile.
