Theyve been in lock step and passing it off as strength and unity of purpose. Its not. Its a feeding frenzy and were the prey.

(15,149 posts)Romney is in a very safe seat, no matter what he does, but it took courage for him to come out with his vote. I applaud him for that. I doubt that any other R Senators will step forward, but at least The Orange One can't claim that he had 100% support from his side of the aisle. Let's hope the Democrats all stand together.
