From January 2011 to October 2015 Rubio has missed 176 out of 1437 roll call votes. Which comes out to about 12.2%.

When Obama was a senator from January 2005 to October 2008 he missed 314 out of 1,300 votes. Or 24.2%. 

Rubio still has a ways to go to catch up to Ol' Barry.

Well it seems pretty clear that Rubio will catch him.  You are comparing Rubio's numbers from a full year before the election to Obama's numbers including the actual year of the election.

Except Obama started his trend of missing them a year earlier too...

This is a big reason I hate politics. The whole "it's ok when our guy does it, but not when your guy does it" mentality from both sides.

I never said it was okay for one guy to do it just because the other did.  All i did was point out that you were twisting the numbers and not making a fair comparison.

The record of missing votes this far before the election is not even close.

OBAMA
Nov-Dec '06......0.0% votes missed
Jan-March '07...2.4%
April-Jun '07....17.9%

RUBIO
Nov-Dec '14.......6.3%
Jan-March '15...18.5%
April-Jun '15.....32.9%

To me it's not about the violence as much as the reason for the violence.   You and I don't worship the same way but by no means do I expect you to pay me money because of the way you choose to worship or not worship.   I also don't want to murder you and your family for the same reason.  

Besides you and I share the same view on Carson Palmer haha.

Shh, you're gonna get us killed around here!

I don't think Chris Kyle's death should be used for a political meme.  Nor do I believe he should be called a "vicious serical killer."

I doubt Dino made this .... He was trying to take a shot at me. Can't fault the guy for looking up savage memes. Can't see how anyone would feel he was taking a shot at Kyle. At least that's not how I see it.

We all know who it was directed towards.  I wrote "used."  Who made the meme is irrelevant.  1)  I believe it is disrespectful.  2)  I can only imagine what one of Chris Kyle's family members would feel if they saw such a thing.  3)  I can insult you without using someone else's unfortunate death to do so.  4)  It was just as wrong when Blutarsky used Chris Kyle's death to try to insult me.
