Georgia U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson returned to his beloved Senate this week for the first time since announcing his retirement armed with a secret plan.

The three-term Republican, who over two decades on Capitol Hill has honed a reputation as an affable dealmaker, is determined to pull off one last major bipartisan policy coup before his Dec. 31 departure date. On which thorny policy issue, he refused to say.“I’m getting close to something I can tell you about, that I’ve been working on for some time,” Isakson said with a grin on Monday evening. “I’m not quite there yet.”

The way I read this article, Isakson will backstab us on guns. He's expressed support for Universal Intergalactic Background Checks before. That's the only 'thorny issue' out there these days.

He doesn’t really care if he causes Trump’s base to stay home. In fact, the guy’s been so RINO, I think he’s counting on it.

I just bought another Carry Gun Online and picked it up at my local FFL.

I filled out the Paperwork and waited while they did the required Background Check. I then walked out with my new Pistol.

In the past I bought, sold and traded Guns with my fellow Citizens without having to pay an FFL for the privilege of exercising my God Given Rights. I still own some of those Guns.

What is the Plan our esteemed Politicians will come up to make the things I have done my whole Adult Life without consequence Illegal?

Our Founders were wiser than I could have ever imagined. They had Human Nature and the abuse of Power figured out.

When Paul Coverdell died, I happened to mention that to a professor I saw that night.

Professor: Was he a Republican?
Me: Yeah.
Professor: GOOD! just kidding, just kidding...
Me: No, you're not. You actually wish death on people you disagree with!

He just slinked away, like professors do.

Isakson is just another Bush League Republican that needs to be replaced like Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio.

Very true.
That’s why it is essential that we stick to their words as tenaciously as possible.
Words like “shall not be infringed” and “natural born citizen”.
Simple phrases whose meaning is clear to all but those who wish to undermine them.

I think you meant ‘seppuku’. That’s ritual suicide. ‘Sudoku” is the math game my wife can do in her head, and gives me hives.

I know. It’s a meme. “Commit Sodoku.”

Partner, I will add that Isakson should not let the Senator door hit his posterior as he leaves the Senate floor forever.

Partner, I will say this again, why is the Senate and the House working for only 15 more days this year. I heard this the other day. Is this true?

Every American wishes that he or she have this job.

Lets just be real and acknowledge that the RINO POS never saw a liberal bill he couldn’t sign onto. What we have here is an undocumented Democrat. Perdue is no better.

The GOPe has no incentive to reform until the GOP base holds the party accountable as an institution for back stabs like this. Senators freely trade votes knowing they and the party will never be held accountable.

A generation ago politicians like Isakson were all Democrats. They are Republicans of convenience and no more. They are totally unreliable and no better than Democrats when it comes to defending our Constitutional rights.
