I really don't like waking up in the morining and thumbing thourgh the Washington Post only to find a story on how my hometown's congressman daughter is being investigated for defrauding the state of Arizona and how my congressman's "connections" helped out that little scenario in happening. I tell you this, Congressman Reyes made me vote Libertarian. I have to agree, it’s cause he’s a crook!

The sad situation is; most politicians aren't. We need a lot more policy nerds up on Capitol Hill, and this is a problem with both Democrats and Republicans... I also don't think he should be calling for more troops. Isn't that what the Democrat party spent an entire year campaigning against? Pitiful... Definatly not because he is just a Texan. We attacked Bush in the same way, and I think it is only fair to be as fiery with our own side, even if it is more behind closed doors. Rep. Reyes; get your shit down. You haven't taken the chairmanship yet, but you have some reading to do over your Holiday Break!

His appointment proves, as George Wallace once proclaimed, that "there's not a dime's worth of difference" between the two parties when it comes to working the system.
