They're a letdown
I am disappointed with recent actions by both of our congressmen that represent Kern County. Take Kevin McCarthy. First he supports questionable candidates for Congress, just because they happen to be registered a Republican. But they are nowhere close to the Republican platform he ceremoniously oversaw. Congressman Mike Pence from Indiana, who is number four in the House Republican leadership, didn't back Dee Dee in New York's 23rd District, so why did Kevin? He'll support questionable people out of our area, but not Jim Costa's Republican opponent in 2008.
Now on to Congressman Costa: We don't need to go into his arrest record, but why sell out our country for communism in the name of a hospital in Merced? What is more important to Costa -- the United States of America or UC Merced?
Costa is Nancy Pelosi's lap dog and he's always played these vote swapping games with his liberal Democrat friends in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., for a long time.
