Newspaper Blasts Marco Rubio: 'You Are Ripping Us Off, Senator'

"Either do your job, Sen. Rubio, or resign it."

The editorial board of a south Florida newspaper, The Sun-Sentinel, has given Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio an ultimatum: "Either do your job, Sen. Rubio, or resign it."

In a pointed op-ed published Tuesday, the editorial board pointed out that Rubio, the state's junior senator, not only hates his job but hasn't even been doing the thing he was sent to Washington to do -- vote.

"Sorry, senator, but Floridians sent you to Washington to do a job. We've got serious problems with clogged highways, eroding beaches, flat Social Security checks and people who want to shut down the government," the op-ed says. "If you hate your job, senator, follow the honorable lead of House Speaker John Boehner and resign it."

a lot of people who missed votes were on leave (no pay?) for things like surgery or having a baby, but people who just don't do their job should not get paid, and that would kill Rubio and his over financed life style.
Can't they set up a proxy vote if they have to be somewhere else?
