I identified this as perhaps my favorite moment of last night's CNN town hall.

Watching this young man pin Rubio to the wall over taking NRA donations, was an amazing moment.

And even with that, Rubio REFUSED to say that he would reject those donations.

That tells you essentially all you need to know about the NRA's influence.

By the way let me just say that if you did not watch that CNN debate last night, you missed an important historic moment. 

You can find it on You Tube and I urge you to watch if you haven't already.

      And this is why the idiot allows her son Track to have a house full of guns (yes, I know the court demanded that they be removed, but come on, is it really that hard for him to get another one from his parent's house?). Track is a ticking time bomb and she enabled it.

      I have always thought that Track hates his Mother, Sarah Palin! I suggest she put all her guns under lock and key as he might have evil in his heart and do something to either her or Todd.

      What awful parents they turned out to be!

      According to this article, you shouldn't need to.
      https://www.multi-gyn.com/general/the-difference-between-vagina-and-vulva/
      The vagina is a self-cleaning organ, which means that, in normal circumstances, there is no need to wash it from the inside. The vulva, on the other hand, should be washed regularly, at least once a day, to help protect the vagina from potential contamination.

      HTH!

    3. He always reminded me of a ventriloquist's dummy. Same big head and oversized forehead with hair painted on.

      And Rubio has the NRA's fist stuck up his backside controlling what he says and how he votes.

      Where in the Constitution does it guarantee your right to own weapons that can kill dozens of people in just a few minutes?

      Why is it okay to all but ban private ownership of machine guns but not private ownership of other rapid-fire guns and large capacity magazines?

      Why should a person who is not serving in the military or a law enforcement agency be permitted to have 30-round, 50-round or even 100-round magazines? Is the right of that person to say "just because I want one" more important than children's lives?

      The Supreme Court has ruled several times that the Second Amendment is NOT unlimited. We don't have to confiscate all guns in order to limit the ability of them to slaughter large numbers of people in a few minutes.

      11:34 - "haters of the Constitution"

      You are very confused. Have you always been an ammosexual? Do you fondle your guns regularly? Folks who want to restrict the type of guns and revamp the process by which guns are purchased do not hate the Constitution child. Can you understand that little one?

    Cruz gleefully explained to his fellow conservatives at CPAC what he did after 6 adults and 20 children between the ages of 6 and 7 were killed at Sandy Hook in 2012.

    “Republicans were falling all over themselves scared” to pass legislation, he said. “You had Chuck Schumer and the Democrats saying ‘now we’re going to pass massive gun control legislation.’ Well we beat that, and I was a brand-new baby freshman senator and happily led the fight against it.”

    It's grossing me out hearing Trump use the word "hardened" over and over again. LaPierre used it a lot too in his CPAC speech today. Those who surely talked to one another, and I'd bet before yesterday's listening session and Trump and he discussed what Trump should say so as to mollify people.

    Remember when all those conservative pundits like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh got their panties all in a bunch whenever anyone in the media even dared to utter the name of one of Sarah Palin’s children? It did not even matter to those right-wingers if the subject was actually relevant to the political discourse (such as when the unwed teen daughter of “abstinence only” preaching Sarah Palin became pregnant). In their opinion any reference to the child of a politician was off limits. Case closed.

    I disagree with Rubio in about every way possible. But I will say that I think it was good of him to show up and engage with his constituents. Rick Scott and Trump were asked to attend and declined.
