If he voted our way, why gripe? Is he now just damned if he does and damned if he doesn't? That will get us nowhere in the future.

There is a big difference between changing your vote and changing your position in a campaign. Now this may be both, but it is hardly wise to slam a guy who did what you wanted him to do where it counted. Slam him for voting one way and then campaigning another. That's legit. But it is not legit if the change has a real result you can see.

The problem with flip-flopper Romney is that his change is all talk. Sam has a long conservative record. He fell for the Bush line on immigration and it burned him. If Brownback has a flaw it is that he can sometimes be too much of a team player. Of course that can be good or bad,, depending on the application. In this case it wasn't good. But Sam Brownback in general is no flip-flopper. Not even close.

I thank him for his vote.

Uh, because he voted against us only until he found out that the cloture vote was going to fail. His No vote was superfluous at that point.

If your wife gets into bed with a man, but gets out only because he can't perform, I don't think you praise her for her virtue.

Why gripe, is he just damned if he does (though after not doing so)

Sounds far, far too similar to John Kerry's, "I voted for it just before I voted against it." I cannot ever again consider the man credible, and I volunteered for him full time in his office in his original campaign against a RINO, place holder for another RINO, in KS.

We "conservatives" won, or we at least thought so at the time, I have since changed my mind entirely. I would never trust the man to tell me the sun was shining unless I could first check outside.

Brownback would have been a great pro-life POTUS candidate if it wasn’t for this woeful disregard of U.S. sovereignty.

His heartfelt compassion for the impoverished elsewhere would be better applied toward effecting Third World Boston Tea Parties.

Not diluting the tea here.
