Collins and Murkowski are carrying water for the Dems, as usual. No surprise there. But Ayotte has now joined them and this trio is clearly helping out the Dems.
I called Ayotte’s office to let her know that she isn’t fooling anyone anymore.
“.....So the red flag was already raised about Ayotte, both by Palin and NR, in that case for abandonment of well-stated conservative principle on immigration in the name of “bipartisanship” — a word specifically cited by Buckley as “the most alarming single danger to the American political system.” With no less than Governor Palin herself accusing Ayotte of having gone back on principle.
Now come these multiples of reports of a “lynch mob” from people “inside the room” of that Republican-Senators-only lunch. Tellingly the tale comes from senators who agreed with Ayotte and couldn’t wait to alert the media — and not just any media but the New York Times (!!) — of her performance. Why? Because they thought making it known of a GOP Senate lynch mob going after Cruz and Lee helped the cause they share with her. Ayotte was “furious” with Cruz, these GOP senators proclaimed. Furious because conservative groups were criticizing Ayotte for opposing Cruz and Lee in their efforts to both end Obamacare and begin the move to restore fiscal sanity to America.
What does this behavior of Ayotte’s say? What does it say about the other named GOP senators — Indiana’s Dan Coats and Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson — in the story? Not to mention those who were not mentioned but were part of what the paper called the “lynch mob” that was out for Cruz and Lee? What does it telegraph?
Simply put, this behavior screams; “It’s all about ME!!!”
Forget about principle. Forget about campaign promises. Forget that Ayotte “Granite Grizzly” business and Palin’s description of Ayotte being a “true conservative.” It’s all about attacks on Kelly Ayotte — by conservatives.......”
