Count yourself lucky that your guy isn't Majority Leader. I'm getting attacked by everyone on FR because of Dasshole, sometimes even on threads that have nothing to do with him. He's an embarrassment to my state and myself, but I didn't put him there, ya know?
Hey, I know the feeling...my state claims both Jeffords AND Leahy as their own. Barf. And there seems to be little the conservatives in the state are able to do about it. There are a few counties (populated mostly by dang flatlanders, i.e. people who moved here) who out-vote us every time. Bustards.
I've still had a few people scold me as roundly as if I hand-picked 'em myself.
