I frankly don’t give a damn how much pork he had to give these two, the point NOW is we can NOT let this circus go on ANY LONGER, more importantly we can NOT let the Dems win this battle this IS the PUBBIES last hill!!! WE ALL KNOW that these two RINOS are NOT Republicans in any way shape or form and we MUST be rid of them, HOWEVER for now give them whatever the hell they want and WE WILL deal with them later!!!
I do not disagree with you.
I think some opportunists saw how desperately their votes were needed and went back to the old tried-and-true “what’s it worth to you?”
Alaskans already had a chance to rid themselves of Murkowski and they blew it.
Amen. In fact, they can have all the pork they want in the future if they keep confirming judges. If not, they shouldn't get a penny.
I will go one further than you. If Collins and Murkowski vote no STRIP them of ALL TOO money and tell them to cha be their party affliation. Murkowski has already done that once! And as for Flake, he’s gone to the stinking ash heap after this vote.
I know earmarks are a dirty word here, but if earmarks were still used the skids would be greased to make confirmation happen.
The only cost of this is to the Judge’s family. The Demons are being killed by this in the eyes of Fair-minded people.
It is not hurting Republicans who are bending over backwards (giving them more rope)to appear kind-hearted and reasonable.
And now it is before the Senate.
