What a blowhard. If he was going to “stand up for his country” he would follow the 70% of the people who have said they do not want Obamacare.

“rants on the floor of the USA House”

Was he too drunk to stand again?

I am embarrassed to admit that he is my Congressman. But, Joe Courtney is no bargain either.

Maybe he should listen to the American people and stop sniffing around at Pelosi’s butt.

I am gerrymandered into Larsen’s district.

He is in there for life in an ultra-safe district.

(In other news, NSA is still on the job (despite the “shut-down” monitoring our emails and phone calls.)

Forever—death, taxes, Larsen, and the NSA. :-(
