Once again Arizona's nutty out-of-step Rep. Jeff Flake has decided to throw a tantrum and be one of only seven (7!) weirdo House members to vote against a bill overwhelmingly supported by all Democrats and 96% of Republicans.
Today the House overwhelmingly approved Coast Guard Authorization for 2008. The vote was 395-7.
My uncle Matt was in the Coast Guard and I spent a bunch of summers as a kid sleeping on his Coast Guard hammock. The Coast Guard has consistently gotten the short end of the stick in funding.
What could weirdo Jeff Flake object to in a bill funding the Coast Guard that nearly every one of his conservative Republican colleagues voted in favor of?
Jeff Flake likes to show off that he can vote no just for the sake of voting no. It's childish and part of what makes him such an ineffective Congressman.
Or maybe he just hates the Coast Guard and feels free to express his disdain because thinks he can coast to re-election anyway.
Our district needs to change course and throw Jeff Flake overboard.
