Both Collins and Murkowski
Will certainly pout and wait
To see if there is some pork
To carry back to their state

They vitiate all the efforts
To just replace if not repeal
The failing Obamacare mess-
And screw how voters feel

Paul insists on a total repeal
To get his vote out the gate-
All 3 enable a crazy McCain
On his usual mission of hate

I can see why Collins might think she needs to haul back pork/goodies to keep her ass in office in blue Maine-but Murkowski must be trying to build a warchest against a primary challenger-she didn’t win all that big the last time she had one-wish Alaska would just kick her to the curb...

Thank you! Murkowski is both a grafter and shape shifter-she becomes whatever she thinks her audience wants on every occasion-if it wasn’t something she does deliberately, she’d be in therapy for multiple personality disorder...
