Who else is stuck with a "Suicide Caucus" congresscritter? Vent here. [View all]

Suicide Caucus, see http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2013/09/meadows-boehner-defund-obamacare-suicide-caucus-geography.html

Meet my PA asshat, who, thanks in part to Repuke gerrymandering, I'm probably stuck with for the rest of my life:

Complaining about this miserable excuse for a representative is all I can do at this point (other than futile letter writing). He has a sweet job for life, and he knows it. The very best I'll ever be able to hope for is a slightly less crazy R. to primary his ass and win. Maybe it's time to think about pulling up roots---retirement is not too far off.

I know others are in similar situations. Name your congressmaniac, and share your coping strategies.
