I say we hit the cruise control

So, I just read that my US Rep voted FOR the war. This pisses me off in many ways. The biggest way though is cuz he's our rep. Before the last election, the lines for reps were by counties. Last election, it changed and our county is now divided into 3 different districts. The north most bit is in the area with Frederick, Washington, Allegany, Garrett counties. Our area is in a strip up and down the west part of the county and into PG County. Part of Germantown (such as where Jodi lives, 2 miles away) is in the same district as we used to be in, with a bit of the western part of PG County. We used to have a great rep, she was Republican but she was left-leaning and she had been there for forever. They redistricted basically to get her out and get in more Democrats. So, she lost the last election to a Democrat. He seems OK and all but she was good too. And our rep was the incumbent so he won anyway. I am sure the little bit of MoCo that is with the northern part has a republican, knowing them. Hey, maybe that's what Roscoe Bartlett is. I can't remember if he's a US Rep. Anyway, he's an ass. I still remember senior year in college, a classmate of mine (in Education)'s husband ran for the Dem seat against Bartlett and lost. He also ran again last election and lost. And I remember last election driving down I70 to Penn State and seeing a Barn whose roof was covered in a huge sign that said "Bartlett" and it was up until like February. Damn Republicans...
