he was at CPAC.

Calling liberals "freeloaders" is fairly tame.

It almost goes without saying that it's RW projection.

Rubio's free health care through Congress's extremely generous insurance plan. If a single Republican in Congress does not avail themselves of all the government hand-outs Congress has voted in for itself, I'd like to know who they are. Could the answer be none?

and probably didn't pay off his student loans ...

and hey, with a name like "Rubio", don't forget all those minority breaks to get into college and all those "free passes in class" like they claim Obama got for being a "minority" ...

Not only that stupid conservatives like Rubio encourage them to do so. They need to look up the definition of the word next time before saying something that idiotic.

I work for a private corporation. 45-60-hour weeks, loads of responsibility, and the stress-level to prove it. But because I'm a liberal, I'm a 'freeloader'. Okay for you, Jack...

grew up in comfortable surroundings, where mommy and daddy paid for everything. And some of them no doubt in luxury and silver spooned brats. These people don't have a clue.

An asshole who takes in $174,000/yr, courtesy of the US taxpayers, for roughly 100 days worth of "work" is calling other people "freeloaders". Ain't that fucking rich?

(the more liberal ones) who pay out MORE in federal taxes than they take in through federal programs? Whereas the more conservative states (like Florida) take in more fed dollars than they pay into the kitty. Now explain to me again just WHO are the "freeloaders"?

Fuckin' idiot.
