Marco Rubio’s 7 Top Achievements In U.S. Senate
breitbart.com ^ | February 4

Posted on 02/05/2016 4:35:35 AM PST by Helicondelta

Following Rick Santorum's inability to name a single achievement of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) , the media sought to answer the question for themselves. Yet many reporters appear to have come up empty handed.

As The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza writes, a "major part of the problem is that Rubio doesn't have all that many accomplishments in the Senate."

Though Rick Santorum was unable to name the accomplishments of the man he just endorsed, there are indeed several accomplishments that are quite noteworthy. Below are a few of Sen. Rubio's achievements that Rick Santorum could have identified on MSNBC this morning:

...

(1) The Rubio-Schumer Gang of Eight Bill

Rubio's immigration bill would have tripled the issuances of green cards, doubled the dispensation of foreign worker visas, and granted citizenship -- and, thereby, welfare access and voting privileges -- to illegal immigrants.

...

(2) Obamatrade

Sen. Rubio cast the 60th and deciding vote to fast-track the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.

...

(3) Blocking Curbs to Muslim Immigration

In 2015, Rubio introduced an immigration bill which would have allowed for an unlimited increase in Muslim migration.

...

(4) Enabling His Corporate Backers to Replace Americans With Foreign Workers

Shortly before the Disney workers got the axe, Rubio introduced legislation in January of 2015 to massively expand the H-1B program.

...

(5) Blocking Food Stamp Reform

In 2011, Marco Rubio voted against a Republican proposal which the Congressional Budget Office projected would save the U.S. government $10 billion by reining in the abuse of the food stamp program.

...

(6) Benghazi

As George Will pointed out, Sen. Rubio gave his "enthusiastic support of the Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton intervention in Libya."

...

(7) Worst Attendance Record

Rubio will be anti 2nd Amendment if his money men tell him to. Trump is right about people not getting the importance of self-funding though he used the wrong word. It’s not that they don’t “appreciate” it, it’s that they don’t get the impact of campaign cash.

Well, they haven’t turned him yet. And the fact that he merits and “A” from GOA indicates he understands the implications of being anti-RKBA.

Rush along with many people doe not understand what is the Establishment?

Many seem to think it's people who have been in Washington for a long time.... That is NOT the Establishment.

The Establishment/Globalist are those that believe in Globalism and Global government. They are for anything the erodes the United States sovereignty, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This is because they want to dissolve the United States as we know it.

Their process is a slow incremental “change” of things until it collapses. They operate much like the Fabian Socialist. Plus they do not want to move too fast because then it backfires, and sets them back.

Their tactics are to attack the foundation of our Republic in every aspect of it. It starts with Education, to indoctrinate future generations, attacking the Founding Father and the culture. What we call tradition. Basically say what is right is wrong and what is wrong is right. Basically turning the humanity on its head.

Globalist use tools like common core. They employ communist and Cloward and Piven tactics, psychological warfare, problem, reaction solution to an unexciting and extremely trusting, never question or be skeptical population. The few people that do question them are call confrontational, conspiracy theorist, hateful ridiculed and try to shut them up with political correctness.

Anyhow,if you are not sure about a position, then BY DEFAULT take the opposite side of the Establishment/Globalist.

How to recognize Establishment Positions. Again it's anything that erodes the United States, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Here are some examples,

1) Open Borders instead of following the law.

2) A new pathway to citizenship instead of following current laws.

3) Amnesty

4) Anything Pro Common Core

5) Rigged Trade Agreements where not all sides are playing by the same rules. A rigged poker game in other words.

6) Bankrupting future generations by over spending on the budget creating massive deficits that are unsustainable.

7) Starting all types of wars. Waging war with political correctness. At The perpetual state of war (war on drugs, war on poverty, the war on etc....) and ignoring the Founding Fathers advice of we should only do it when attacked, and/or if there exist an imminent National Security Threat. It's where the State gains power and tries to dictate policy to everyone.

8) Anything to do with the Global Warming/Climate Change Movement. For instance, Carbon Dioxide, 1 of 4 necessary elements for the cycle of life on this planet (other 3 being light, water and oxygen) being a pollutant that needs to be taxed.... In other words they are saying people need to be taxed since we breath out Carbon Dioxide which is great for Trees, plants and anything green on Earth. This is the Globalist way of creating a new tax for global government, taxing people as pollutants and picking winners and losers.

9) Establishment/Globalist are for the Police State. This is because they do not trust their citizens. This is why they attack the 2nd Amendment. It's why they want to spy on you via the NSA even though the Bill of Rights and U.S. Constitution say you cannot do it.

Finally, Establishment/Globalist are typically for Socialism and Communism at the mid and low levels of society. However, at the very very high levels it's Fascism and Crony Capitalism. That's the model of the Globalist.

Nevertheless, the above are just some examples to help people adjust their compass settings.

,,,,, well I do know that Rubio and Hillary are on the same page regarding amnesty . Not being black and being a light skinned Hispanic will no afford Rubio the same Teflon coating 0bama has and then there’s the media love affair Rubio won’t have simply because he claims to be a republican . Rubio is definitely not a staunch Constitutional conservative and this will show up by the liberal support he will garnish in N.H. where drug abuse poles as their prime concern . Must be pretty comfortable in N.H. if that’s their main issue of concern .

” . he’s a liberal acting like a republican just to win election . .”

And reprobate McCain is senator for life and just as we elected that evil obama not once but twice even after we knew what it was, still we wanted more of it.

which is why I don’t believe this nation will ever turn around, and as much as I appreciate those quoting 2 Chronicles 7:14 I don’t believe enough Americans are falling on their face before God, only a remnant and those are the ones that he allows to see it for what it is, the remainder are given a delusion to believe the lie. I pray that I’m wrong about where this ends,

Thanks for posting that Enlightnened1,

Good examples that we should all internalize and call to mind immediately any time the NWO is thrown in our face, which used to be tinfoil hat yearly events and now have become a daily occurrence,

I would suggest you add a few lines about ‘principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness’ operating in high places.

Consider how this is overlaid above these points, empowering and guiding these same events and agendas along to a malevolent end, just to make the point that its no longer merely about politics as usual where good people might have honest philosophical disagreements,

Something very evil is moving and with increasing speed and is directly using those given over to believe THE lie,

Then post it as a vanity,

You are welcome to modify it, fix it up, and then re-post it as Vanity.

The word has to get out. I'm tired of these Rats.

Every Freeper needs to recognize a Wolf in Sheep's clothing.
