af, you’re wrong about Lamar Smith - and some of that money he’s got is mine (community property).
While I’ve fussed at him for backing Romney (Jim Demint and Marco Rubio back Romney now and Governor Perry evidently wasn’t ready to run the race) and his internet bills, he is a strong, working conservative.
He knows why he’s a conservative and can articulate the issues well. He’s held the media’s feet to the fire by opposing their bias.
His staff have repeatedly gone out of their way to address my concerns. I believe they heard me on HR 1981.
He met with a group of us in New Braunfels last week. Not “the elite,” just regular folks who bought our own lunch in a buffet restaurant. Just wait ‘till he brings Holder back to the House Justice Committee as planned in a week or so.
