Rubio says "Defund Obamacare or face a government shutdown

[Vietnameravet]

Sen. Marco Rubio pledged Thursday that he won’t vote for a short-term spending bill to keep the government open unless it defunds the Affordable Care Act.

“I will not vote for a continuing resolution unless it defunds Obamacare,” the Florida Republican said at a breakfast hosted by The Weekly Standard and Concerned Veterans for America. He called on his fellow senators to do the same. “I believe we should not vote or pass a continuing resolution unless that continuing resolution defunds Obamacare.”

The spending showdown is likely to hit around the time that enrollment in the Obamacare health insurance exchanges start in October. “This debate is going to take place the same time as the implosion of Obamacare is happening before your eyes,” he said.

Rubio cast the Affordable Care Act as one of many examples of the extent of the two parties’ philosophical differences, saying their stark disagreements over the budget, the environment and gun control are other key issues.

4. Rubio needs to glance from under his halo and see how fast the deficit is dropping.

Once these TP gets on their high horse they must feel like someone died and left them in charge. I am beginning to see Florida politics extremely tainted with those like Rubio.
