JULY 31, 2011 WASHINGTON--Sen. Marco Rubio spoke on the Senate floor last night to discuss the Senate's budget delay. While the House of Representatives has now passed three separate plans to change the nation's debt trajectory and deal with the debt limit deadline, the Democrat-controlled Senate has refused to pass a budget in over two years, and has not presented one at all this year.
Rubio said that "this has been the plan all along, by the way. The plan all along was not to take a position, to let the days count down until we got to this point with 72 hours to go, and then force a vote on something that they wanted... You want to know why people all across America get grossed out by politics? It's by watching this kind of stuff happen."
QM: Amazingly, this speech is as relevant today as it was to the people alive back in 2011. The Democrat-controlled Senate today STILL continues to fib about needing 60 votes to pass a budget when they really need only 51 (and have 53). Hell, you don’t even need 50 votes, just a simple majority.
RUBIOWNED.

oritteroposays...I don't think that really counts as "owned", unless a rubiowned is a fractional unit like milliowned or microowned.
quantumushroomsays...That's what I thought, a whole lot of nothing to say about the obvious.
liberalsifters, enjoy your King's 1.5 trillion dollar tax hike.
siftbotsays...Moving this video to quantumushroom's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
