Everyone better get on top of this. Even here in Tennessee yesterday Lamar Alexander told a talk show host (Steve Gill) that he will vote FOR closure this time because “the Senate has to get on with its business”.
Business as usual, damn the country, the important thing is what is going on in the club inside the beltway.
Is it something in the air in DC? Everyone who goes there soon is an insider who cares NOTHING for their responsibilities.
I called Lamar’s office, even though I knew it was closed for the weekend. The mailbox is full. I have emailed him and will call him Monday. I told him his vote for cloture and then his following vote against the bill was the worst sort of political hypocrisy, and I would vote to see him ousted next year.
Do you have a specific, exact quote and venue for Alexander’s statement? I really would like to shove it down the throats of the flunkies on the phone.
