My junior Senator thinks he is slick

Marco Rubio's ambitions are far greater than his intellect or abilities. Rubio should have been beaten for another term in November but as is often the case, we failed to show up on election day. We get the government we deserve.

So I received an email with the above graphic (the one at the top that is). I am not sure why President Obama is dressed as a physician but, while I know exactly what is coming, I click on “No.”

This brings me to a page titled: “Marco Rubio for Senate 2016” and its sole purpose is to solicit a contribution.

Thank you for responding to my Obamacare survey. Your vote has been registered.

I hope you will stand with me in my fight to repeal Obamacare by making a much needed contribution right away.

So if you are soliciting money on the premise that you are in the “fight to repeal Obamacare” then your survey is bullshit. Does Rubio think that we are all stupid?

Furthermore, if he wants to appeal Obamacare what are his ideas for replacing it? What could he suggest to make it better? Premiums are higher than they should be at least in part because Republicans tried to sabotage the program. They actually encouraged young people not to buy insurance knowing cynically that by keeping them out of the pool premiums would be greater.

There is only one reason GOPers want to repeal Obamacare and that is to diminish President Obama's legacy. They are prepared to fuck up healthcare for tens of millions of Americans just to ding the black man. It is disgraceful. The worst part is that they will probably get away with it. Were they only as competent in governing as they are in getting people to vote contrary to their own economic interests.
