Third Republican presidential debate

Debate0 Comments

At the third Republican presidential debate in Boulder, CO, hosted by CNBC, Rubio

to a question about criticism from the SunSentinel newspaper for missing many Senate votes while on the campaign trail.

I read that article today with amusement… This is another example of the double standard that exists in this country between the mainstream media and conservatives.

Jeb Bush jumps in, comparing Rubio’s lack of voting in the Senate to a French workweek, adding ‘You should be showing up for work… or just resign’. Rubio counters:

You said that you’re modelling your campaign after John McCain… I don’t ever remember you complaining about John McCain’s vote record… The only reason why you’re doing it now is because we’re running for the same position and someone has convinced you that attacking me is going to help you.
