My DEMOCRATIC Congressman is on that list, of course. His office gets a call from me tomorrow. He's such a smarmy loser. I fucking HATE that guy.

Sure, but when the primaries end, most of the people bad-mouthing him will fall in line and vote for him anyways because of a letter next to his name.

Too bad it already did. Henry Cuellar won his party primary in May, and he’s on the November general ballot. So the only options are vote for him, or give it to a Republican.

If you can't tell, I wish you folks cared about the makeup of the Democrat party as much as you cared about the Republicans.

Dude, I voted in the primaries and very much voted against him, but he still won. He’s so damn conservative there was chatter he was going to switch parties.

Why call?
Show him who is the actual boss.
