Oops! Santorum Backs Rubio, But Can’t Answer This Simple Question Rick Santorum pulled out of the race for President after his poor showing in Iowa made it clear there was little chance for him to gain the nomination. Shortly after his announcement, he threw his support in the form of an endorsement for candidate Senator Marco Rubio. Santorum appeared on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ program to discuss his endorsement of the Florida senator. But when hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski asked Santorum why he chose to support Rubio, Santorum’s response was that he is someone “who can work together with people.” Pressed for more specifics, Santorum stumbled. “Someone who has tremendous potential, tremendous gifts. If you look at being in the minority in the United States Senate in a year when nothing got — four years where nothing got done, I guess it’s hard to say there are accomplishments. I mean, tell me what happened during that four years that was an accomplishment for anybody? It was complete gridlock.” Scarborough pushed further, “I’m just asking you to name one accomplishment that Marco Rubio — but list one accomplishment. Just one. Just one that Marco achieved. Maybe a bill that he wrote. Maybe a moment in a committee.” Brzezinski added, “Jeb Bush ran Florida. Donald Trump built a company. Marco Rubio…finish the sentence.” “OK, Marco Rubio was, No. 1, the speaker of the Florida House, which is not something that’s a minor deal. I mean, he was elected by his colleagues to be the speaker of the House.” “No. 2, yeah, he spent four years in the United States Senate being frustrated like everybody else that nothing got done, and then you can’t point to him and say well nothing got done and therefore he has no accomplishments.” “List one accomplishment that Marco Rubio has achieved in four years in the United States Senate” Scarborough went on. “It doesn’t even have to be a passed bill.” “Well, I know he included something that went after the insurance companies in the most recent omnibus. I know that he fought for that to stop bailing out insurance companies. That’s one thing that I’m familiar with that I just saw recently, but — and again, he was on the campaign trail and accomplished that. The bottom line is there isn’t a whole lot of accomplishments, Joe, and I just don’t think it’s a fair question.” What do you think it says about Rubio if one of his supporters can’t even come up with a single legitimate accomplishment? Poster Comment: Good job, Rick. Next time maybe you should do basic research before you go in front of the talking heads.

This is simply staggering -- the outer limit of dilettantism in high places so far this year! What a CLUCK. "Sadly" (as most people would put it in this wimpish age) the others are undoubtedly as brainless. Crudz only knows one tune, "Hey I'm a big Christian maniac vote for me and I'll kill them antichrist Ayrabs OFF." What "accomplishments" does that glamorous nobody ever talk about? I'm afraid to ask. www.youtube.com/watch? v=ZujnzuPIEPM "I DON'T THINK IT'S A FAIR QUESTION" -- AAAUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! --------------------------------------------------------- NN Sequitur ---------------------------------------------------------
