A week ago, he noted on his Facebook page that his poll numbers after voting no on Toomey/Manchin put him somewhere south of pond scum. Today, this.
He wont face the voters again for five and a half years, but he shares a home state with Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly. They can hurt him by campaigning against him in 2018 more than they can anyone else in the Senate. No wonder hes looking for ways to flip:
Republican Sen. Jeff Flake told CNN he is willing to reverse his opposition to expanding background checks for guns if the Senate sponsors change on the bills provision dealing with internet sales
He said under the measure as written, if a gun owner sends a few friends a text or email asking if they want to buy their gun, or posts it on their Facebook page, that is considered a commercial sale.
For people in rural areas in his state and others, he said that becomes inconvenient and costly
Some Republicans opposed the measure out of fear that expanding background checks would put the country on a path to a national gun registry, but Flake said that is not his concern.
If Flake flips, thats 55 votes for Toomey/Manchin. Johnny Isakson also allegedly told a gun-control activist yesterday that hes having conversations with T&M to improve their bill.....

Not an inch... this is communist incrementalism and it can no longer be tolerated. You want to know why fags can marry? Because we put up with their little nibbles at our Constitution and by allowing them to steal the language and pass legislation making them a superior class of citizen. This has gone on for many years and now the queers own the entire show. Big Government was not born overnight... we allowed little nibbles to devour our economy and Liberty. Once their foot is in the door it is just a matter of time... so I repeat... NOT AN INCH!

Your PDS attack on a totally unrelated thread is duly noted. You join FR last year just to trash Sarah?
True!
I used to have a lot of faith in Flake but he has rapidly eroded it over the last three months. He and his interns have about three stock answers to questions (doesn't matter what they are either) and the rest is pure Barbra Streisand.

It’s all about “him” not “our rights”! He is going to vote to “protect himself”....NOT the citizens that elected him to office. Term limits would put a stop to this kind of crap....
