(12,858 posts)3. He's my representative
Semi-positive comments:
1) he's not as bad as OK senator Inhofe
2) he served in the military as an aviator
3) he has an undergrad degree from Rice
Negative comments:
1) he's a GOPer and has voted a strict partyline in the House
2) HOW CAN HE BE A RICE GRAD AND BE A GOP REP???*
*Jeb's son is also a Rice grad.
I'm a (sometimes) proud 1961 Rice grad.
