Protest held outside Marco Rubio's Florida office (After his NO vote on jobs bill)

Via WCTV 6.

This was on October 13, 2011:

DORAL, FL -- Some Floridians are not happy with Senator Marco Rubio.

About a hundred folks demonstrated outside the Republican senator's office in Doral -- a day after he voted against the president's job plan.

The 447-billion-dollar bill failed to get the 60 votes needed to proceed.
The bill included a tax increase on the wealthy, an expansion of a current payroll tax cut and an extension of jobless benefits, among other things.

.....

The protest was organized by the group "One-Miami." The group says Rubio has no real solution for the state's economic problems.

I guess little Marco should expect another protest at his door pretty soon, after his NO vote today, toward a bill to raise taxes on millionaires to create or protect 400,000 jobs for teachers and firefighters.

Oh, he's batting 1000 today :eyes:, as he credits only the French and British in today's death of Muammar Qaddafi; as he denies he embellished his family's story of escape from Cuba; it has also emerged that the doomed Miami bank that Rubio took a questionable equity loan from while he was Speaker of the Florida House in 2006, has been exposed as a hotbed of "insider loan" activity, as the bank took $50 million in TARP funds after the bank's chairman lied about its "healthy" status.


Those TARP funds apparently came in handy for "the insiders" in Miami.



Look for that story to erupt fairly soon.


This guy is a disgrace.

2. If the Occupy movement works to publicly shame these assholes

who so blatantly vote against the interests of the vast majority, well, that's one more feather in its cap!

his lie about his family history soon.

5. Well, well. BigFoot is compelled to weigh in on his apprentice's little flub-up.

Marco Rubio’s compelling family story embellishes facts, documents show, Washington Post, October 20 2011


Looks like Rubio's parents were "immigrants" to America in 1956 under American-aligned Batista rule, not "exiles" under Castro, as his rule began in 1959. But, Rubio deliberately built his political story on being the son of Cuban "exiles". No dice, Rubio. You lied to obtain more political power for yourself.


People aren't going to like this.

The Washington Post misses the point completely. RT @albertemartinez: Marco Rubio dismantles Washington Post: politi.co/nYLbnN

So harshly sad for Mr. Rubio. The thrill is gone. And after all of Jeb!'s work, too..
