I don’t believe it’s bribery.
I believe it’s blackmail. I wonder how much “inappropriate content involving minors” might be found on their computers. Not saying they have any. I don’t know. Just wondering.
Members of legislatures routinely vote their district/state, and not how they really believe, when they know their vote will not make a difference. If the position their constituents support is certain to win, or lose, anyway, why not vote the way their constituents want? Senator Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX) was a master of this practice.
It is only when the the count is so close that the vote of an individual legislator is absolutely critical to the passage, or defeat, of a bill, that you know what their real position is -- and even then, they may still want to vote the other way, but be afraid to.
Samme difference and should be said out loud early and often.
Every leftist who is destroying the country should receive this treatment NONSTOP!
