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.
That may be. He felt the heat (as we wanted all the Senators to feel) and so he did what we wanted him to in the end. So hold it against him on this one issue. To try to ruin the man who has a solid conservative record would be a suicide move. We cannot afford to ruin a good conservative over this one issue. Who do you figure will replace him? Maybe you would prefer Dennis Moore to replace him. I sure wouldn’t.
