Senator Switchback
Have I mentioned how much I hate Senator Switchback?
UPDATE From El Borak, I had not heard this excuse but it fits.
There is an explanation after all
Leon Wolf, E-Campaign Coordinator for the Save the Brownback Weasel Campaign, explains why Senator Switchback voted for it before he voted against it:
…people want to know how it came to be that Senator Brownback was heard to vote “Yes” but came to be recorded as a “No.” In the Senator’s words:
I wanted to signal that I am supportive of comprehensive immigration reform, but that now is not the time and this is not the bill.
The Senator did this intentionally and planned it, which is he made a point of voting first and loudly. It was intended to be a symbolic act which admittedly may not have had its intended effect on some people, but it *was* planned from the beginning.
Um, yeah. How about this: He made a point of voting first because senators vote in alphabetical order and ‘B’ is pretty close to the start of the alphabet. He voted loudly because it was a voice vote, which means that senators are expect to vote, out loud, when their name is called. And he voted No because it became clear, after he had already voted yes, that the measure was going down to defeat and he was not going to take the heat for standing up in a losing cause.
That sounds like a better explanation to me.
No this sounds like a fucken loser coward (sorry I’m not as nice as El Borak)
The people of Kansas need to get rid of this punk ass loser.
It pains me to say but I would rather see a Democrat Senator, (and in Kansas that’s not necessarily a bad thing) than this piece of shit Switchback.
I can’t wait until he is up for reelection.
WAIT I found this on his Switchback for President site:

(515) 221-1001, jrankin@brownback.comBrownback Votes Against Senate Immigration Bill
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Sam Brownback today voted against the Senate immigration bill.
“I voted against the Senate immigration bill because I am not convinced it would fix our broken immigration system and it would most likely repeat the mistakes of the 1986 reform,” said Brownback.
The immigration bill failed earlier today on a 46-53 procedural vote that required 60 votes for the bill to advance to a final vote.

I just happened to go to Hot Air first thing on my daily morning blog scan and I find this about Senator Brownback, who will forever be know as, thanks to Hot Air,
Senator Sam Switchback.
Being that I can’t stand this dude, I am so glad they did this. At 7:49a it made my day!

He did not say he wanted to BE a democrat, just that if the Republican party cannot do better then Switchback, he’ll be forced to choose the lesser of two evils.
I too dispise this spineless excuse for a leader. And my church (Catholic) tells me I must vote for him b/c he’s so anti-abortion (a view I personally share). However, I believe that (given his past voting and behavior patterns) the only things that he will favor are those things that he believes will help him get/stay elected.
He has no personal morality or ability to lead. He merely wants the power. That is a very dangerous thing in anyone, let alone a Federal level Senator!!
