According to his website, he voted against it.

That was before he changed his mind and actually voted for it: http://dailycaller.com/2014/02/12/mcconnell-cornyn-help-advance-debt-ceiling-increase-in-senate/

He voted against having a 60-vote threshold, which lowered the threshold to 51 votes, then he voted against it since the Democrats already had 55 votes. The same thing he, McConnell, etc, did regarding funding of Obamacare before the shutdown.

I wonder how this affects the ACU ratings of great Conservatives like McCain and Cornyn.

Just give him another toke, over the line . Until these Congressmen are drug tested like Walmart employees; you get what you get .... I don't believe 80% of the Congress and the Administrative Branch (including Obama and Holder) could pass a Walmart drug test . Thus, drug testing is not required for the highest positions in the land ... Fast and Furious was for more drugs to the White House, not to trap competing drug cartels.

They did the same thing for funding Obamacare. They have no backbone at all. If Cornyn thought he could get away with voting in favor of every big govt measure, he'd do it. Instead he plays the role as an enabler while acting like a small govt supporter.

What happened to Jeff Flake? He went from being one of the best representatives to one of the worst senators.

He has always been open borders. Maybe he thinks of the senate as a saucer that cools. Also I think he deliberately helped force through Harry Reid's agenda so he had more time to debate his amnesty bill to try to get it through in 2013.

The bills and issues Harry Reid brings up are a different agenda to what the House brings up like ENDA and amnesty.

GOP Leadership asked Reid to Keep Debt Limit Vote Tally SECRET During Vote
http://blogs.rollcall.com/wgdb/reid-spokesman-explains-secrecy-in-debt-limit-vote/

Yesterday, the Senate approved legislation raising the debt limit, but only after a very unusual hour-long cloture vote. The cloture vote was ultimately successful, bringing and end to debate and allowing the underlying measure to move forward, but votes like that typically take 15-20 minutes, with Senate staff reading aloud the names of senators—and how they've voted—throughout the vote. That didn't happen yesterday. The vote took three times as long as normal, with no explicit indication of which way senators had voted.

Senate Republicans requested that the Senate clerk not call out how Republicans were voting on Wednesday’s key debt limit vote (http://blogs.rollcall.com/wgdb/gop-split-laid-bare-on-debt-limit-vote/) to make it easier for GOP leaders to convince their colleagues to change their votes, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday.
“After the vote began, it was quickly clear that Republican leaders were struggling to deliver enough votes to clear the 60-vote hurdle upon which they had insisted instead of a simple majority, and a potentially catastrophic default suddenly seemed possible,” Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson told CQ Roll Call in a statement. “At Senate Republicans’ request, the clerk did not call the names during the vote to make it easier for Republican leaders to convince their members to switch their votes.”

When he ran for Congress, he stated over and over that, if he wins, he will only serve 2 terms, then go back to private work. Well that turned into 6 terms, then onto the US Senate. He's a prefect example of the addition to elitism, aristocracy, and privilege. I heard early on, from a source that Jeff Flake was a CON MAN very early in his political career and his goal was always to serve himself while selling-out the country.

The voters in Arizona are absolutely to blame, look at the RINO garbage they put and maintain in government office; John McCain, Janet Napolitano, Jeff Flake, Jan Brewer, Trent Franks, emdorse by other big .gov RINOs; Mayor Elaine Scruggs of Glendale, Joan Shafer of Surprise and Ron Badowski of Wickenburg, Mesa Mayor Keno Hawker and Councilman Tom Simplot, even the former A.G. Grant Woods... then, they throw all their "interference primary candidates" like J.D. Hayworth to block any candidates from knocking scumbags like John McCain out of office.

When you look at where they get their campaign money, you see more and more, "THE PARTY" funding money laundered through SuperPACs, by wealth and power that make huge donations to put not only their puppet politicians on the pedestals, but put decoy interference candidates in the primaries to bleed votes, keeping their Washington DC marionettes in office a very long time.

The Political Game is rigged to the utmost levels of fraud and deception.
