Rep. Jeff Flake (R) on C-SPAN Called for Delay to step down.

[in_cog_ni_to]

He ain't too happy with his party. Very, very interesting. He's from AZ. any DUers know much about this guy? He actually admits that they haven't done enough over-sight? He's complaining about earmarks. He's complaining about how things that should be in legislation aren't "let in" by the powers that be. He says they must change the course of the repuke party.:wow::wow::wow::wow::wow:

Is this guy for real?

on edit...Jeff Flake should stay off of small airplanes. ;)

1. ReTHUGS have lied too much for me to believe this flake! ---nt

[The Backlash Cometh]

2. Too bad he's not a Senator.

[in_cog_ni_to]

3. No kidding. I never thought I'd see the day

where a repuke sounded semi-NORMAL. :wow: I'm shocked!

[KharmaTrain]

4. Opportunist Hack

This guy's so full of it his eyes are brown and then some.

This dude's a vulture...he sees DeLay and others are winged and he's ready to swoop in and pick up the pieces...hoping there's still some meat left on the bones for him.

It was great to hear his own constituent call in...someone who voted for him...take him to the woodshed and all but call him a sell-out.

He doesn't look like a happy puppy and surely knows the real trouble he and his corrupt party are in. This is tapdancing on the Titanic.

:popcorn:

5. You mean I should follow my own advice?

NEVER, ever trust a repuke? They're pathological liars...they never tell the truth. NEVER trust a repuke?:spank::spank:

[KharmaTrain]

8. This Is Really Surreal

Orwell in action...yes is no, up is down, day is night.

My favorite is when Brian actually asked some real questions about why didn't Flake call for changes earlier and this dude danced like Yosemete Sam was shooting and yelling "dance varmint". :rofl:

I've seen the dirt on both Blount and Boenner and we couldn't ask for two more inept and corrupt scumbags to represent the party of corruption this year. Flake looks like he's sucking up for a leadership position if Boenner wins...and his shot at that K-Street money.

Reform...yeah, right! Even Brian seems hard-pressed to hold in his cynicism.

6. He was elected right after I left AZ, so personally, I know naught...

I did find this

Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) introduced legislation to bring more "guest workers" into the country while providing temporary visas for illegal workers already present after "appropriate background checks." The bill is dubbed the Worker Amnesty and Opportunity Act of 2003 H. R. 604. This bill amounts to a massive increase in the number of workers that will compete for the jobs that U.S. citizens need.

7. I saw him on Lou Dobbs last week

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=92503

Dobbs was going OFF on him. He just sat there and smiled like Delay in a mug shot. It was quite entertaining. I had never heard of him before that.

[BonnieJW]

10. I saw that too

He just kept smiling while talking about outrageous plans to let illegals into the country.

9. I can't find the article but during the Medicare debacle, he

was against what Bush was doing. But then, Bush looked him in the eye and he got scared and changed his mind. He commented on it at the time, saying something about the quality of Bush's glare.

11. I listened to him live on NPR, and I have to give him props

He seems like one of the only (at least partially) honest GOPers I've ever heard speak.
He didnt blame lobbyists for Abramoff, he blamed the Repugs. Flat out, no conditions, just "its our fault".
Yes, I realize its just more GOP PR Spin ("Hey, lets get a guy who never had an ethics complaint against him (yet) to rail against us and ask for reform, that will look good to the public!") but they did pick the right guy, it seems, in Flake.
