"To my mind Judas Iscariot was nothing but a low, mean, premature Congressman." Mark Twain
This week, the Senate gave the public a fresh and powerful reason to view Twain as correct in his assessment.
Whatever your views on ObamaCare, the simple fact is that the GOP Senate voted to repeal ObamaCare in December 2015, knowing full well that President Obama would veto the bill.
That vote was conveniently timed to give Republican lawmakers the ability to go back to their states and proclaim that they had tried to repeal ObamaCare, but were thwarted by a Democratic president.
"Elect me, and give us a Republican in the White House, and we can finally get rid of this law," was the basic message to voters.
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, for example, wrote multiple op-eds for her hometown papers decrying what ObamaCare had done to her state, and vowing to repeal it, in the run-up to her 2016 re-election.

If I were a constituent, I’d make sure to have somebody camped outside their office at all times.
Just as the Dem party has purged its moderates and is now nearly pure collectivist, it is necessary for the R’s to be about the same business in the other direction.
Let me know when it happens.
The real question and investigation is, how were they compromised? Who has paid off these legislators to vote against what they clearly stated and what their constituents want? How is this done?
Thanks for the article and post John. Excellent!
Juan McCain are the kindrest, braverest, most runderful man (D) have ever known!

Duuudes, where’s the Repub...

...wait, what were we looking for?
It’s Article V time...
The fact that McCain and Murkowski are allowed to be in the republican party is an abomination.
For this reason alone, President Trump should leave the party.
Yes. That is a run on sentence, intended to be delivered oratorically, rather than read from print. But I have no forum in which to hurl a rhetorical answer. Oh to be a Senator and appropriately address those who betray us, day by day without apparent qualms. They truly are American Quislings; despicable toadies selling their souls to those without any shred of moral compass.
Murkowski and McCain are two highly reliable votes - for the Democrats, in many instances, and for sure the money interests. For curious reasons, the big-money donors come down pretty largely on the side of more government control and further limitations on the individual liberties of the American voters, almost exactly the Democrat agenda.
On their best days both Murkowski and McCain are pretty wobbly when it comes to voting the interests of the American people.
It is all about the donors and keeping THEM happy.
Too many state reps/senators with federal aspirations.
The Deep State got John Roberts to reverse his Obamacare decision as well. The Awan brothers had all of Congress' emails and communications as well as SCOTUS and various agency employees as well. Apparently, the Soros/Obama/Hillary Deep State STILL has full control of our government and can direct ANYONE to fall in line, at will.
Jeff Sessions needs to get a WARRANT to raid Obama's 'brick-fortified' Deep State control center. THAT is where the blackmail is originated. THAT is where our REAL government resides, including Valerie Jarrett who LIVES THERE.
The irony of last night is, IF MCCAIN HAD OBAMACARE HE'D STILL BE IN THE HOSPITAL WAITING FOR HIS DIAGNOSIS. THAT ELITIST 'TRUMP-SABOTEUR' MCCAIN NEEDS TO SUCCUMB QUICKLY TO HIS BRAIN CANCER. NOW.
has been for about 9 years...
Alaskans and Arizonans like all the attention and are more liberal than their reputations.
LIARS! Traitors to their electorate!
