This is NOT really an investigative, heavily cited diary, but I am asking a VERY important question. Who are They? All this drama in the Senate is nauseating. First, these whoring Senators (any gender) will do anything to be courted by the camera and be chased after by reporters to be asked what their vote is going to be. They tease, tease, and tease, and rarely demonstrate any moral courage. Moderate Senate republicans collapse 99 times out of 100 on any real vote of substance.
And let’s not forget, every one these loathsome Senate Republicans (in office at the time of course) voted to deny Obama a Supreme Court Justice and were more than happy to break the Senate rules to do so. They cheated twice and obviously did not bat an eye.
For every ‘do good’ vote Collins or Murkowski or McCain casts, they are mostly still just loathsome Republicans. Murkowski and Collins (and all the other GOP Senate stooges — newly elected or not) are secretly fearful they might lose their precious Senate Committee assignments (doesn’t Lisa chair Energy?) or the ridiculous Subcommittees they get to chair. And now that Regular Order is bogus, all Senators should be allowed to vote by internet from home and never have come to Washington. They can even vote in their jammies if they like
And McCain? He is mostly a fraud too. Not completely, but mostly. Any American who would put Sarah Palin just a pulse away from the Presidency and risk our nation to her babbling rule (wow…..and then we get Trump 8 years later, my god) is not a Maverick but a dangerous opportunist. After the Keating Five, one Obamacare vote and one interruption to a racist Republican voter who really thought Obama was Muslim, is not going to save McCain’s bio.
But WHO ARE THEY? Can someone please identify who are these House Republicans from Blue and Purple states who voted for the Tax Bill? This is where the highest odds for defeat of this bill lie. These fakes should be the targets of massive protest between now and Reconciliation and their last vote. I am writing this now (8:53pm) since my Twitter Feed does not indicate there has been a final Senate vote.
I say the House is the better bet by far to defeat this. We cannot wait for the Senate to act.
Can any Kossock identify these House Traitors? Playing up to these lying, pretentious Senators on TV — who could have the “ultimate trigger" “final say”, is more than I can tolerate.
SO WHO ARE THEY? Can I guess one is Kevin McCarthy of California?
