Wow I just read my own post. Man I'm become very negative on our political process, but I am getting so tired of picking the lesser of 2 evils. I would like to say this country deserves better, but when only 35% of the electorate vote we deserve what we get.

Rubio is gay? If so, that's really a negative?

Why? I think Bernie Sanders is the worst of all possibilities.

No way Clinton goes to prison A Federal Judge granted immunity to the Clinton Aide that set up her server. First, judges don't grant immunity unless that person did something wrong, and law enforcement is using the person to fry a bigger fish. Second, I don't think they are only going after Huma.

I get that, she still isn't ever going to prison

Rubio is gay? If so, that's really a negative? No being gay by it self in this day an age isn't the negative. The way he represents himself and some of his anti gay retoric that he talked about while campaigning in Florida in his past. This shows a phony or con man. Your next question might be is he really gay. Type in Rubio and Maimi's gay bubble bath parties. That's the real reason Christie called him bubble boy.

I doubt that he is gay, but he was fucking a lobbyist for the health care industry. That's enough to tell me he isn't going to do what is necessary to fix that issue, which disqualifies him for me.

That's interesting. Never heard that. I don't remember when the news of his affairs came out, but the fact that one of them was a health care lobbyist came out Saturday.

www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/election/marco-rubio/article47849475.htmlTALLAHASSEE Editor’s note: This story was originally published in the Miami Herald on Feb. 9, 2009. TALLAHASSEE — In a legislature where public votes and private profit can collide, one alliance stands out: the trio of Rep. Esteban “Steve” Bovo, his wife and former House Speaker Marco Rubio. Bovo, a freshman Republican from Hialeah, is the in-house lobbyist for Miami Children’s Hospital. He sits on a House budget committee that helps decide how much state money hospitals and healthcare providers in the state receive. As Bovo was taking office in November, Rubio was leaving, due to term limits. Rubio took his top assistant — Viviana Bovo, Bovo’s wife — with him to work at a new consulting-lobbying firm, Florida Strategic Consultants. The company in December then scored two contracts worth $102,000 and $96,000 with Miami Children’s and Jackson Memorial hospitals, respectively. The situation involving the Bovos and Rubio is legal but illustrates the complicated challenges of conducting public business in a “citizen’s legislature,” where part-time lawmakers often cast votes that can benefit their full-time employers outside the Capitol. To ensure he’s on the right side of the law, Rep. Bovo said he has requested legal advice on conflicts of interest. He said he stopped lobbying in Tallahassee “the moment I got elected.” He now does governmental-affairs work in Washington, D.C., and in the South Florida area. Bovo noted that most people in the Legislature have other jobs, so apparent conflicts are nearly unavoidable. “In this building . . . you could find 120 cases of conflict of interest, or maybe 160,” Bovo said during an interview in the Capitol last week. “I’m aware of it and I’m mindful of it, and I’ve had this conversation with the hospital.” Rubio, who plans to run for higher office in 2010, said he’s staying out of Tallahassee lobbying. He said he provides strategic consulting advice and access to a network of contacts he culled as House speaker, one of the most powerful posts in the state Capitol. “My job is to make introductions to key people who could help the hospital and the children it serves,” Rubio said. “I’m not a lobbyist. It’s not my forte.” Former legislative staffers can lobby legislators. But former legislators can’t “personally” advocate in front of their former peers for a period of two years, according to state law. Bovo’s wife — or any other intermediary — could carry messages between Rubio and legislators, according to ethics opinions. But Rubio said he’s not even doing that out of an abundance of caution. Still, the situation raises a few questions in the Capitol. “This is one of those instances that’s perfectly legal but doesn’t look good,” said Republican Sen. Paula Dockery of Lakeland. “And instances like this certainly can lead to public mistrust.”

Very true on the health insurance. This industry has become more of a absolute scam under "Obamacare". That they give a ton of $$$ to these crooked politicians, so they vote the right way. Remember when these politicians open their mouth their lies are only going to cost us more money. The failed policies of these presidents (since first Bush) have slowly killed this country.

I am very happy to hear that, it is very important to hear about others success. It helps other grow. In my personal life, I have grown financially since 08, when I lost almost everything. Myself I have learned how to operate within the system. Unfortunately to many of our fellow Americans haven't figured it out. I just feel politicians should make it easier to be successful in this country, not harder.

I just feel politicians should make it easier to be successful in this country, not harder. I agree, and I wasn't boasting. Everything is just so hyperBOWL when it comes to politics. The unfortunate reality is it sort of doesn't matter.

In fact I hope everyone become more successful and can start to live the American Dream, but to many politicians are a hindrance to this & I really don't understand why.

I have come to believe it really doesn't matter much on a personal level who is in there. As long as they keep the country safe and leave me alone for the most part I'm good. I have no idea who I will vote for tomorrow.
