There is a difference.<BR/><BR/>And the whole thimble thing, while perhaps representative, is a tad disgusting.<BR/><BR/>Julia's voting record (missed votes) is disappointing, but hardly a surprise.

I kept voting against him to no avail. Then we got redistricting and now I have Julia Carson. When she votes, she usually votes the way I want her to but that's just it. I need her to be there for the votes. I sometimes wonder if she knows what she is voting for. Someone please help her with her scheduling or retire and let someone that can do the job run and get elected. I hope it will be someone (Repub or Dem) that does not have a scandalous past and someone we can be proud to represent us. This would exclude any of Julia's cronies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-77712386694976260962007-04-09T16:29:00.000-05:002007-04-09T16:29:00.000-05:00"well, she and I had five phone conversations this morning ranging from Tudor war financing to Grambling..."<BR/><BR/>Well aren't we so special?<BR/><BR/>It figures she would be on the phone with your sorry ass instead of taking care of Government business.<BR/>What other Congressperson going to get advice from a nutcase on a city bus?
