These are definitely tough times for the conservative base. We must hold on and get through this mess. It seems like we are going through a house cleaning, and the mess gets worse before it gets better.
All of Congress are “Dolittles.”
And most should feel the need for a shower.
Most rats are busy bodies trying to control our lives. We would be better off if they were do-littles.
I wish they were “dolittles” instead of finding more ways to spend our money.
That require$ 'alot of dough from U$.
Meanwhile, “Cold Cash” Jefferson still has his seat.
He’s doing the right thing.
How does his district look?
It’s a safe GOP seat that only became vulnerable because of the Doolittle scandal. We’ll hold it easily now.
Given how much Charlie Brown has raised, he has a shot. Also, the Republican primary could get nasty. So it’s not safe yet.

Of course, we need to make sure that we don’t nominate a scandal-prone candidate.
