It is a good thing to see the masks dropping amid the professionally republican class who view themselves as something more than representatives of their constituents.
In public response to the requests of the voters, Idaho’s Second Congressional District Representative Mike Simpson reminds voters that their opinion means nothing.

FYI, Steve Scalise is voting for Jim Jordan.
Who is paying for Mike Simpson? Because apparently, he doesn’t think the voters matter much.
Pathetic.
Simpson should resign. He is an important person and we have to ensure that his feelings are not hurt. Imagine the terror he experiences because of those pesky citizens who are demanding that he represent them.
It is shocking how many Republicans in Washington DC hold the people who sent them there in contempt. This is only one example.
There should be term limits for all these politicians( like Joe Biden) who never had a job in the private sector and have spent their entire lives in government- it makes them feel omnipotent, and they forget that they are NOT kings- the are REPRESENTATIVES of the people who sent them there.
Looks as if Simpson as well as our Buchannan will be looking for new employment shortly. I haven’t heard back from the local Republican officer either. Neither is concerned one iota as to the thinking or support of their constituents. I called three District, Washington offices and did not speak with anyone. Civil? yes but very firm!
Maybe they can go bowling with JoeBama at the once White House. Did they remove the red up lighting?
Wife and I have continued calling DC and BOI office and finding the same. Wife leaves messages with her name and number but not addresss(we live in 1st district) but we will not look away nor stop.
Call them by phone? You will never get a call back. Send them a letter? They will never read it, all you will get in return is a form letter thanking y0u for your concern. Send them an emai? Same thing, if you’re lucky……The only time you will ever get a response is if you confront them face to face……..No one elected to Washington gives a rat’s ass about your opinion. They got your vote and that’s all they care about.

Romney Plugs Establishment Candidate in Key GOP Primary

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has launched an unprecedented effort to defend vulnerable pro-business incumbents in Republican primaries this year, is enlisting a big gun to boost its favored candidate in Idaho.
In a new Chamber ad, former presidential nominee Mitt Romney touts his support of Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson, an establishment Republican facing a difficult May 20 primary.
Romney endorsed Simpson last year [2013], but this is his first foray into television ads in the 2014 cycle. “You can take it from me,” Romney says in the spot. “The conservative choice for Congress is Mike Simpson.” While the former Massachusetts governor wouldn’t normally be the ideal arbiter of conservatism is a red-state primary, Romney has special cachet in the eastern Idaho district, which has a high concentration of Mormons.
This is the third ad the Chamber has cut on behalf of Simpson. The incumbent is trying to fend off a challenge from Bryan Smith, an attorney who boasts the backing of the antitax Club for Growth.”
I’m waiting on his next town hall meeting, sounds like it will be fun to attend.
