We all know they cut deals.

We all know that the basic way anything gets p***ed in Washington is that you have to agree to support things you would not want to support in-order to get things p***ed you do support.
But Spector makes a good logical point that why would he promise to give a blanket okay when he has no idea who is going to be appointed. And this looks bad for Santorum.


If you want to know when Ricks deal was paid off.....

here it is -

this argument came after the Robert's hearing where the same two guys got into the same basic argument, and their working relationship was never the same.
This is a deal being paid off.
This is what it looks like.

Finally we find a guy like Rick who has told us what goes on that we always knew was happening but no one ever had the guts to admit until now....
It makes Rick look bad when he gives the one word to describe himself as "courage" and then goes on to explain that he fell prey to politics as usual in Washington even when it went against his principles (as he described it.)
