Corker’s flip-flop shows where his priorities are
At one time, bribery was illegal in America. Since the banana Republicans took over the Supreme Court, bribery has become “freedom of speech.” Bribery has become an everyday reality in our politics. “Liddle” Bob Corker will tell you that the wheelbarrows of cash that he generates from selling his vote is actually “speech.”
Corker’s flip-flop on the banana Republican tax cuts for the rich is a good example of bribery masquerading as “speech.” Corker first claimed that he was against blowing a hole in our debt just to fill the Christmas stockings of the super rich. The Republican donor class waited breathlessly for its $1.5 trillion gift.
Lo and behold, Santa came early for Corker when the congressional Republicans delivered his quid pro quo, wrapping a huge tax giveaway to Corker’s real estate business into their bloated tax scam. Not surprisingly, Corker flip-flopped. All of a sudden, the $1.5 trillion increase in the deficit didn’t matter.
Corker’s posturing was revealed as a fraud. When it comes to a choice between what’s best for America and what’s best for Corker, you can bet “Liddle” Bob will choose his own interest over America’s.
