In reply to the discussion: If you are represented by a liberal in the house and he/she votes yes on the AUMF [View all]LostOne4Ever
(9,768 posts)33. I am represented by a conservative democrat
Pete Gallego
He is currently running a post on his facebook page to gauge his constituent opinion on the issue. Currently it is being overrun by Syrians telling him how to vote but before that the voters where nearly 10-1 in opposition to the war. He will still probably vote yes
Sadly living in west texas Gallego is about our only chance so I will stand behind him regardless. Anyone more liberal will either lose the primary or the general election. Either way it will be someone worse.
I HATE THE REPUGS OUT HERE!!! They are fucking nuts and I would rather support Gallego than have one of them representing me.
I am already stuck with the two worst senators in all of washington I want to keep my congressman

You don't think that can change? Tennesee used to send liberals to Congress too.
