Since these guys are in favor of striking Syria, and since they are REPRESENTATIVES, I'm wondering who are the people in their districts telling them to vote "YES" on Syria. You know, do their districts have a demographic that would support a strike contrary to what the general public is saying or are they ignoring their constituents?
How about you Democrats? Is your REPRESENTATIVE voting contrary to what their constituents are telling them?
I live in Peter King's district. I vehemently disagree with us fighting Al Qaeda's war for them, intervention in Syria would be incredibly stupid on our part. There are no good guys or bad guys in Syria .... just varying degrees of bad with Assad being perhaps the least bad of the bunch.
I tolerate Peter King only because a RINO Republican is still better than a solid liberal Democrat. He's been around for eons, and he rarely gets challenged in primaries by an actual conservative Republican so we are more or less stuck with him. Eventually though he will retire and that's when I am afraid Long Island's last Republican congressional district will fall to a liberal Democrat.
