42. do not underestimate sensenbrenner---i hate but respect him

Sep 2015

he is in a very red and safe district.

every cycle there are rumors that the teaparty will primary him..be a great waste of money they sober up and find someone else.

he holds town hall meeting like a crazed fool...by that i mean all the damn time and all over his district.
i was at one today. He usually has a state senate or assembly rep in tow...alway a gop guy cause the area is that red.
He answers questions that he know will not be friendly...today he called on me.....
He does not have to hedge his mouth cause he is that fucking safe
He is probably the most available of any elected official in my area.

he has some quirks--like support for the voting rights act that draws the tea party primary threats.
and he has some huge blind spots...ie the topic of this post.

but do not think getting rid of him will be a walk in the park.
