Ohio's Rob Portman is a no good shit. His hypocrisy knows no bounds.




Now he wants to fulfill his role as a U.S. Senator? He refused to even meet with Merrick Garland
let alone allow him to have a hearing or give him a vote as is the law under the Constitution.

“During a very partisan year and a presidential election year … both for the sake of the court and the integrity of the court and the legitimacy of the candidate, it’s better to have this occur after we’re past this presidential election.” Rob Portman, Senator on Merrick Garland April 14, 2016

Rob blamed Ted Strickland for the economic problems that the republicans created.

Thanx for the quote.

.... as he was spreading anti gay hate talk in order to promote himself politically.

BTW in his early 20s he paddled the length of Rio Grande but still turned out
to be an environmental republican.

If I'm reading your statements correctly, and assuming that you're not a flaming hypocrite, whoever President Trump nominates must be better qualified than Merrick Garland, the chief judge of the DC Circuit. That is the only logical conclusion to be drawn from your statements, assuming that you're an honest person whose word isn't worthless.

Of course he's a hypocrite, he has an R after his name.

We need to stop expecting any of them to have ethics, integrity, honesty, or really anything other than blind obedience to their masters.
