Would You Loan This Man Money?
The alleged misuse of very thirsty man Marco Rubio’s Florida GOP credit card story has legs. Rubio continues to deny it, but his hometown, constituent newspaper continues to report and analyze the evidence.
First, his statement (I cannot embed the CBS vid so transcript is mine; apologies for any errors; also/too emphasis is mine):
“This is a small bureau down in Florida, one newspaper [Ed. – The Miami Herald, arguably the largest and most influential newspaper in his home state.] that is obsessed with this story. Bottom line is, we have revealed all the documents, people can see it all. It’s there. It’s not a big issue and we are moving on.”
“It really is a silly story. They can continue to write about it, but as I said, the Republican Party never continued to pay any of my personal expenses and as the records detail, there were personal expenses and those few times that there were, we paid for them directly to American Express.”
“Never continued to pay any of my personal expenses?” Really, he said that. Dr. Freud is smiling.
You can determine for yourselves if this is a silly story or not. The Miami Herald doesn’t think it is silly as they document many of the strange things like buying nearly the same amount of something two times in the same day at two different gas stations, or using someone else’s credit card to charge $0.73? He has GOP expenses on New Year’s Eve?… READ MORE

I post these lengthy articles everwhere I can to show how corrupt Rubio is, he is only a puppet for corporate interests:

Along with the credit card abuses, he used dreadful judgment in his personal finances, walked away from a mortgage on a home owned by he and David Rivera, an even more corrupt politician, and he charged the Republican party of Florida $150,000 for the use of his home for committee meetings and secretarial duties performed by his wife.
Jim Greer, who was involved with similar monkey business with Goper funds in Florida was charged, convicted, and did time for his misdeeds; his big mistake was backing Crist for Senator, and the Gopers went after him, but not a word about Rubio’s misdeeds.
