@JohnCornyn

"After reviewing the CBO’s analysis, which estimates the bill will increase the deficit by a quarter trillion dollars, and because of the failure to include my bipartisan amendment, I cannot support the final bill.”

Did the public KNOW everything that was in the bill?
I didn’t.

They gave it the exposure that was necessary to gain public support. Not everybody pays attention to this crap all the time like some of us.

AND the complaints would have come from a different source.

Whaaaaaa, whaaaa, “It was an INFRASTRUCTURE BILL AND YOU
KILLED IT.”

Nope, he was re-elected in 2020.

He must think we’re dumber than a bag of hammers. Typical Rino move.

Then he voted for the bill when he voted to advance it.

He KNOWS Texas voters are as dumb as South Carolina voters.
Both he and Flimsey Grahamnesty have been outspoken advocates of amnesty and a permanent Democrat majority and they were both re-elected despite Graham voting for Amnesty THREE times already.

That’s the most BS reasoning I have ever heard. They don’t have to have debate to know what is in the bill. They can read it and then go before the media if they want but to give away the only leverage one has is asinine.

Surely he can be trusted right?

As my Senator, I can assure you he can not.

A Senator votes for a bill before he reads it. Then after he actually reads the bill, and knows what’s in it, he votes against it.

Amazing how that works.

I love the tags Freepers have added.

Not a single one I disagree with and the honest truth.

Yep, that is an old Republican trick, vote to end the filibuster, which requires 60 votes, to let the bill slip in, and then vote against it when it only require 51 votes. Then he can go back home and say , “Why hell yes, I voted against the damn bill.”

I am wondering where all the GOP fluffers are to tell us how great this is that the Assistant Democrats have once again assisted the Democrats to destroy America.
