I write him once a week to tell him how much I hate his worthless ass. He took money from Tom DeLay and has voted along the lines of the Rethugs 95% of the time. The other 5% he was absent. He runs uncontested in the 42d district of CA and I wish we could run a dead person or something to get his worthless ass out of DC. Screw the GOP This is my worthless Congressman.

I've never seen quite such a bunch of viscious, greedy, amoral, self-righteous SOBs like these guys before. I'm really not a Dem/lib all that much. I just hate lying, thieving hypocrits, especially the the kind that steal BILLIONS of dollars whilst having other people's children die for their sense of "honor". If Dems were being busted left and right in such large numbers for the things Repubs are right now, I'd be howling for them to be locked up too. As it stands, this particular group of repubs strike me as being one of the most overly ambitious, overreaching criminal organizations I've ever seen.

Facts and logic have no bearing on their worldview, it has been said and so it shall be. They rely on a father figure to spoon feed them their beliefs, and once they swallow it (sorry for that image), it can't be changed by the real world. That's the only thing that can explain their blind faith in Bushco. Pathetic, and borderline evil in the effects of their devotion. The spoon feeders on the other hand, are malignant.
