Of course they didnā€™t get ā€˜rolledā€™. Are they yokels on their first trip to the big city?They needed cover, got it, and can now go on to the next episode.

The promise of more money made their decision for them.

Love of money is the root of all evil.

did they get rolled

how is this even a question? as soon as those words came out of Susan Collins mouth you knew she was going to get jobbedā€¦ she was just looking for a way to fall in line like a good Party girlā€¦ sheā€™s pretended to be open this whole year but really just goes alongā€¦

Ron Johnson- howā€™s that high chair feeling? promised a ā€˜seat at the tableā€™ for his voteā€¦ now heā€™s finding out itā€™s the childā€™s tableā€¦

Lisa Murkowski- selling out ANWR for a few more bucks for her constituents oil checksā€¦

Iā€™m not surprised that they sell out anymoreā€¦ Iā€™m surprised at how cheaply they sell themselvesā€¦ and who said the pork barrel is dead?

Securing false promises so you can give false reasons for supporting a piece of legislation that will be terrible for 90% of the people in the country, blow the deficit sky high and result in false reasons for having ā€˜no choiceā€™ but to cut social programs, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security ā€¦ now thatā€™s governing ā€˜moderate and responsibleā€™ Republican style.

They didnā€™t get rolled. They were complicit in the scam. They knew very well their ā€œdemandsā€ would never be met.

Psst, you twoā€¦ perhaps consider: ā€œJim Jeffordsā€. For Collins, becoming an Independent - might just help you in growing election trends in Maine, and Flake - what have you got to lose - you have just been sidelined on a primary issue. Go Independent, and caucus with the Democrats. Take the senate out of the realm of Pence being the deciding vote.

It would never happen, but oh what a turn about that would be.

Aww, Collins and Flake got rolled by Brutus and Wimpy. Now whoā€™s fault is that?

The myth of the moderate Republican bites the dust. Susan Collins should not be immune from a Democratic challenge the next time around.

Gene McCarthy said it back in the 60s: ā€œ[Moderate] Republicans go along to shoot the wounded.ā€

(McCarthy said ā€œLiberal Republicans,ā€ when there were such curious beings.)

They can still withhold their votes from the final bill unless they see what theyā€™ve demanded in writing?

What are the chances of that happening?
