Nothing "apparent" about Simpson...he is Pelosi's favorite Republican. A 22-year backbencher who is totally incompetent but the Idaho republican party machine keeps him in power.
Bryan Smith, an Idaho Falls attorney, is running against him in the primary...and because doofus Simpson is pushing to remove dams from the Snake River, there is a good chance we may be rid of this dip shit. The downstream dairy farmers and other ag producers are really pissed at Simpson.
(Never, ever missed a vote)
