Washington Times:

“Rick Santorum, in his first media appearance since announcing he was dropping out of the GOP presidential race and endorsing Marco Rubio, couldn’t name an accomplishment of the Florida senator when asked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program Thursday morning.”

Is Rubio similar to Obama, first-term senator with no experience in the private sector and no accomplishments to show for it, only ambition?
 
I’m not sure if this is supposed to be taken as a criticism of Rubio, Santorum, or the government in general. 😛
 
To be fair to Rubio, it’s not necessarily his fault that Santorum doesn’t have Rubio’s CV committed to memory… And to be fair to Santorum, he’s probably been more focused on touting his own accomplishments up until yesterday rather than someone else’s.

The Gang of 8 Amnesty Bill is what he is possibly most associated with, for better or worse 🙂

Marco Rubio said in 2015:
I would say that my experience has been quite different than President Obama’s. He was a backbencher in the state legislature in Illinois. I was in leadership all nine years that I served there, including two as speaker of the House.

He basically served two uneventful years in the U.S. Senate before starting to run for president for the better part of four years. Not only I have served in the Senate and achieved some things, but have been very engaged in both foreign policy issues and intelligence issues, given my role on those committees.

Rubio has the worst attendance of any senator seeking presidential nomination.

Chris Christie asked yesterday, “We are going to nominate someone from the place with a 13 percent approval rate (The US Senate) and then run against Hillary Clinton?”

“She will clean our clock. She will take every vote Rubio missed and she will feed it to him for lunch. … What are we doing here? Let’s be smart.”

Says one of the most corrupt governors in the country. As a lifelong resident of the state he governs, he has made life here almost unbearable since he has taken office.

Hm. I don’t consider myself a Christie supporter per se but honestly I haven’t noticed much difference from when Corzine was governor. (Except for the reorganization of Rutgers and New Jersey School of Dentistry which was inexplicably stupid but that’s fairly small potatoes from a national point of view.)

I didn’t say I’m a fan. I was just the messenger. 🙂
 
It would be excellent if Marco Rubio won the nomination and Rick Santorum was his VP!🙂

As much as I’d like that, we know from past experience that Santorum has been bitterly attacked in the most vicious way by the left. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it before.

Sarah Palin? John McCain? Mitt Romney? Really all you have to do is be Republican to be bitterly attacked by the Left, even if yesterday you were their darling (McCain).

Yes it was worse than that. You must not know what I’m referring to. I won’t post it because I don’t want it to get anymore google hits.
