Something I don’t quite get..........is Mary Bono-Mack separated from her husband, Congressman Connie Mack? The reason I ask is that I thought congressmen were supposed to live in their respective districts.

They are, but that doesn't seem to matter to the voters in their districts.

Take Congressman Wexler D-Fla. He falsely claimed residence in his mother-in-law's home within his district but that home was in a senior community that did not allow children. Wexler had ensconced his wife and children somewhere in the D.C. area where he fraudulently filed for a homestead rebate on his real estate taxes. No problem. He was re-elected by the dumb voters in his district and no charges were ever filed for his fraudulent claim for real estate tax relief.

And, Democrats apparently learn from one another as Congressman Eliot Engel D-NY did almost the exact same thing. He really lives in VA with his wife and children and he too fraudulently filed for real estate tax relief on that VA home while he claims permanent residence in NY.

Is he worried abour re-election? Are you kidding?

Will he be prosecuted for his fraudulent claim? Puhleese!
