For any of our congressmen who defect, I can picture a great letter to the editor of a paper in their district. Something like:
“I was delighted to learn that Comrade (name) decided to vote in support of the principles of the glorious Proletariat. The evil bourgeoisie in our government keep battling against confiscation of taxpayer dollars for the nationalization of industries, but not Comrade (name)! We delight in seeing him lead the People’s Revolution to swell our government with state-run enterprises and to fight against the tyranny of the free market. Onward, Comrade (name)!”
Kind of pointless, where I live, though; my rep would probably wear the label “Comrade” with pride.
Yes, my congressman, a rat, voted for the boondoggle, but WA states 3 GOP reps voted NAY.
