I may catch hell for this but here goes anyway

[SHRED]

This is the same Jeff Flake who voted against internet privacy and net neutrality.
Now he's complaining about Trump's derogatory words towards the press?

He's Stalin's helper no matter what he says.
Actions speak louder than words.

[pangaia]

1. Hell yes!!!!

[Ohiogal]

2. I agree 100%

[BigmanPigman]

3. Another one "on the fence" who flips

more than an Olympic gymnast. Hypocrite be thy name.

[shockey80]

4. Thats the problem with republicans, They are hypocrites and cowards.

They are brave when it suits them. They also put party ahead of country.

[panader0]

5. I think he's trying to set himself up for a GOP POTUS run.

He's playing both ends against the middle.

[3catwoman3]

7. We already have ...

...a President Flake(y). We do NOT need another!

[not fooled]

24. Yep

the only reason he's trying to distance himself from dump is that he wants to run for other office. Governor or president.

He's just as horrible as the rest. No thanks.

And, as another poster points out below, the pukes continue--with the help of an enabling complicit media that refuses to speak the plain truth about the destruction of the New Deal--to push the governance of the country farther to the right.

Americans don't want your shitty agenda, flake--your party can win only by lying and cheating.

[EarnestPutz]

31. He is absolutely planning on running for President in 2020.

His obligatory "my vision for America" book was published a
few months ago, he's a very conservative Mormon from Utah,
big photogenic family, only one wife who is pretty and not too
obsequious. Good looking guy, mature, when he looks in the
mirror while shaving he sees himself as the next president.

[Wellstone ruled]

6. Jeff Flake is not about to change.

He has been and will always be a tight ass altra-conservative Politician. Curious as to who or what Lobbying Group he joins next year. Got a hunch and it will be Extractions related.

[flamingprogressive]

30. Now that rethugs have their tax scam, i expect to see

more "retire," under the guise of spending more time with family, when in actuality, they will become high paid lobbyists, or sit on some high paying board

[procon]

8. Depending on which network their on, Republicans often give opposing views.

They pander to the viewers and say the sort of things they think the audience of each network wants to hear. They can't be pinned down or give their true position because its all variable depending on the current events in play at the moment. Flake is an expert at putting on a false front for the cameras and dissembling.

[Stallion]

9. Jeff Flake Calls Trump Stalin--Votes for Stalin 90.7% of the Time

[Dave Starsky]

10. No argument from me.

His last name is completely appropriate.

[dlk]

11. For Flake and Other Republicans, Watch What They Do, Not What They Say

Republican duplicity takes many forms.

[UTUSN]

12. Turtle said, "He'll sign anything we put in front of him." That's why, they with agendas use him

FLAKE's agenda is PENCE's. FLAKE criticizes, PENCE doesn't - but they get their way while SHITLER is in place; they will get more of it without all the drama when he's gone.

[Nac Mac Feegle]

13. A saying I heard somewhere

That I may be mangling:

"Judge them not by their words, but by their deeds."

[TNNurse]

14. Flake, Graham and McCain

all of moments of decency but no consistency. You cannot trust them.

[HAB911]

15. Flake is flaky

[moriah]

16. During these times, just remember.. the enemy of your enemy isn't always your friend. Nt

[Bob Loblaw]

17. Thank you

nt

[SHRED]

41. You're welcome

[dalton99a]

18. Same flake who helped the shithole pass the tax scam and voted to kill Obamacare

[Mr.Bill]

19. They all voted for the tax bill. n/t

[jalan48]

20. Thanks. It needs to be said.

We are moving to a place where right wing Republicans are going to be considered reasonable and moderate by the media. The continued political shift to right will all but erase hard won, New Deal programs which were created under previous Democratic Administrations. Younger Americans will come to believe that 80's Republican policies are liberal in today's world.

[SHRED]

40. I fear this also

[Kaleva]

21. Any attack on Trump from any Republican is good for us.

To attack or minimize those Repubs who on occasion voice opposition to Trump in one form or another but give a complete pass to Trump stooges like Pence makes me wonder.

[NRaleighLiberal]

22. If it is a republican, it is trouble. The worst are the "fakers" like Flake, McCain, and Graham

they are doubly hypocritical and damaging. Collins too.

[Raven123]

23. Let's face it. Most of the GOP is peeved because Trump is a very clear messenger. They would

rather hide their message as "compassionate conservatives."

[czarjak]

25. "George Bush was a disaster"...

But let's get back to Bush policies?

[jodymarie aimee]

26. dear wonderful brilliant SHRED

we all agree with you....they are 2 faced shits. I feel the same about McCain.....while I am sorry he is sick, Rs get sick, too. Don't they? And he should know better. I will never forget what an ass he was to our Obama.

[SHRED]

39. Well thank you

You're too kind

[Augiedog]

27. Yeah, he wants it both ways

[Hortensis]

28. Jeff Flake is a long-time libertarian, therefore very likely

the real thing, which means not only really believing he shouldn't have his money taxed away to benefit others but that a healthier, better society will result from requiring us all to live and die completely on our own.

Kind of like a romanticized version of Senegal, Honduras or Myanmar, where people have maximal personal freedom, families gather together to take care of each other, and all the survivors are stronger and happier for it. Hard to imagine, but perhaps he thinks white people will achieve a very different kind of third-worldiness.

He's what he is. Certainly no friend of ours just because occasionally his goals overlap briefly with ours.

[Skittles]

29. Fuck him

he's trash

[Pepsidog]

32. You are correct. Too little too late Flake

[mountain grammy]

33. When he joins Democrats to stop these terrible appointments

to judgeshitps and high level offices, then I'll believe he's against the traitor..

[Honeycombe8]

34. I disagree. Speaking out is important.

He's a Republican. He votes Republican. No surprise there. But truth is truth, and speaking out in the current Republican environment is a fairly brave thing to do, knowing that Trump may try to ruin his life. Trump has already ruined his career.

It's important to note when people speak truth, esp when it goes against their self interest. That's rare in Washington these days.

But if Dems are going to excoriate every Republican who dares speak out, because they have behaved like Republicans in other ways, it's no wonder they don't speak out more.

No other Republican has said what he has said, that I know of. That's notable. And it's important it was said and is on the record for history. If that's not recognized, then the story goes, "The Republicans aren't criticizing what Trump said, the cowards!" but when they do the story is, "That Republican IS criticizing Trump, but that doesn't matter because he has voted for Republican bills!" Make up your minds. Do you WANT Republicans to call Trump out or not?

[bitterross]

35. I don't know why you were worried about catching hell.

You stated the truth. Flake, Corker, none of them are really helpful. They have been part of the problem. Nothing they do now is going to redeem them.

[rpannier]

36. Lives up to his name

He's a flake

[DFW]

37. Flake's problem with Trump never seemed to be over substance

Only style, and bad policy is still bad policy no matter if it comes like a rock thrown through the window or delivered in gift wrapping.

[spanone]

38. K&R...
