    The key thing to consider when anything "Flake" comes to mind, his constituents, the people he conned to get elected, the people who know him best, fellow Arizonians, can't stand the guy. His chance of being re-elected was ZERO. That is why he's leaving.

    So anything this man has to say should be filtered through that light.

    I think he is just an anti-Trumper that can't win reelection and wants the spotlight and to disrupt anything Trump does. He is also currently more of a Democrat than anything else. Murkowski and Collins will be the key for Kavanaugh, Flake (I suspect) will be a NO vote. He always was.

    It's nice to see decisions that are the result of independent thinking and democracy at work. Could this be the beginning of an era of increased bipartisanship? This doesn't mean that I'm for or against delaying the vote on Kavanaugh's nomination.

    Before all this Kavanaugh stuff I really never heard of Jeff Flake. Watching him since those hearings, just his body language suggests he is a very conflicted individual. Something is wrong there and I suspect it will come out in due time.

    Really, pull that up for me. I'll wait on it.

    What is funny is how you are just pulling that bullshit out of your 4th point of contact. I have never said no dumbshit like that.

    Maybe you had Kavanaugh over last night and you guys drank too many beers.

    He's auditioning for a commentator job with the Fake News Networks, where he is the "Republican" that always swears that the "right" thing to do would be to cave to the position of the Progs.

    There is good money in it! Who knows what kind of pressure they are putting on him over this vote.

    He had my favorite quote I can recall a politician saying in public yesterday. Something to the effect of "If you think this is about the truth, put the bong down".. Brava mr Kennedy.

    I like this gent Kennedy. He is brilliant in his thinking too.
    Man should start a nighttime comedy political show. Would be a sensation.

    I hope he tries. Flake has 'outed' himself as nothing but a third-rate RINO. That contrived piece of 'theater' with a woman in the elevator was set-up bullshit! She is a member of an organization funded by George Soros. And Flake? I have much more respect for an avowed enemy than a stinking, stab-in-the-back RINO!

    Don't know how any of the above applies to a person who comes over as a genuine and concerned statesman versus a third rate carnival barker?

    And, out of similarly morbid curiousity, WHERE did YOU go to college, and what did YOU major in, and WHEN?

    Sure, you attended school at the university level, but considering what "college" has turned into during the past thirty years, it may be little more than a socialist indoctrination center.

    I'll volunteer to go first -- I graduated from the Univ. of Texas at Austin, back in the late 1970's, Bach. of Science (with honors). You?

    That's too many f's, Silly!

    Boofing the Democrats

    POLITICO‏Verified account @politico Oct 1
    Opinion: For its investigation into Kavanaugh to be comprehensive, the FBI must also get to the bottom of what “boofing” means politi.co/2NT1u10

    If the Judge Brett Kavanaugh confirmation mess teaches us anything, it is that Democrats are the party of insanity.

    Democrats want not only to stop Judge Kavanaugh from joining the Supreme Court but they also want him stripped of his current federal judgeship.

    His crime is that he was a teenaged boy.

    A professor in California testimony fell apart under oath in the Senate.

    So now they have dragged out his yearbook in which he scribbled the word boofed.

    Vat iz dees "boofed," Herr Kavanaugh?

    Seriously. A Hillary spokesman and his partner wrote a piece in Politico, "Why the FBI Should Investigate 'Boofing.'"

    But what really amuses me is that the Party of Balbrickers is demanding the FBI, hunt down the definition of boofing.

    I would like to see Feinstein ask Judge Kavanaugh about boofing, so he can say, "The Boof? You want the Boof? You can't handle the Boof!"

    You do realize that a new word or a new usage takes time to get into any dictionary even a real one much less the Urban one.

    Yes he was at that time a teenaged boy. Taking that truth into play then he should have come clean with the Bermuda Triangle, the Boofing, the FFFF , and the Renate Anumulus and say yes that is what it meant, we wrote junk stuff, we were acting big, we were teenagers. That would have been the truth, that would have been the way a judge reacts. K was too careful too calculating by a million miles.

    Flake is a Flake.
    Wish washy.
    Gent supposed to have decision ability to send troops into war.
    He’s incompetent for sure.
    He is a RINO big time.
    And Seems talks more with the left than the right.
    Pack your bags Flake and don’t let the door hit you in the azz.

    Funny how that happens when a leftist like Ford changes her story, huh?
