you haven't heard evil and cruel and batshit crazy until you live here in WI.....now the entire country is experiencing it.....

Is that this idiot, along with others in the GOP, are working overtime to frame Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and CHIP as welfare. Traditional welfare was killed by the reform of the 1990's and they aren't going to balance the budget by cutting what's left.

He's worse than useless because he's untrustworthy.

You can't trust a liar or a thief, ever. It's useless,
same as it's useless to argue with a drunk.

Wisconsin denizen here in the coldness.

And that’s pretty bad.

I'm sorry this pathetic imbecile is your representative. Unfortunately, he's pretty mainstream Republican. Who in their right mind votes for these idiots?

Which is to say, is there anyone challenging Grothman in 2018 from the Democratic side of the aisle? After what's happened in Virginia, Alabama and Pennsylvania so far this year, the notion of a "safe" seat for a Republican is getting to be rarer and rarer.

The stupid never stops with either of them. Wisconsonite here as well - my rep is Senselessbrenner.

Not stupid, but so entitled he can't do anything sane. A partial take back from that statement - he is fairly (not totally) reasonable on voting rights for some reason, and has been OK now and then on ADA, possibly due to self interest, given his wife is physically challenged (due to MS, I believe.)
