Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsJeff Flake-Paramedic
Much has been said recently about his "bravery", but all I have seen is sporadic talk, and the occasional tepid "stand".....and then he votes against reason and decency
He always reminds me of a paramedic who stumbles upon an accident..the victim is badly injured
Jeff holds their hand and says nice words..
He does not call for an ambulance , nor does he administer real first aid..
a big ole FAIL.

OP

(24,259 posts)3. Paramedics normally do a whole LOT more. I think the OP...
is trying to say that Flake is 'like' a (crappy) paramedic who 'could' do so much more to help make things better but instead only does the least amount possible so he can pat himself on the back and say he helped.
