I’m a longtime conservative, loyal to President Trump, but I know an attention-grabber when I see one. Massie must be so thrilled at being the center of attention. He even got to be on Rush’s show, although with a guest host! Wonder how much he let his point be known, earlier in the process, as he could have done?

Tell me, where you think he might have got a nationwide public forum to voice his opposition to this secretly contrived, disastrous piece of legislation while it was being written by the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Stephen Mnuchin, and Chucky Schumer?

He is a backwater, backbencher conservative Republican. Would have been prominently put on Fox News unless there is a story they can pin to him? Hardly likely!

Former Sen. Corbin just died, a principled opponent of abortion all his political life-was he to a "grandstander"too ?

Congressman Massie did what every politician is duty-bound to do, address the public to alert them of chicanery. Is it grandstanding to demand that others go on the record? Or is going on the record also "grandstanding?"

Where, oh where are the heretofore self-righteous howls for transparency? Gone the way of substituting personality for principle.
