Him being my representative in the third district....I dont blame him, time to spend time with his family, instead of fighting a battle he cant win.
Its all almost over anyways.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58684934 Actually, now is the time to buckle down and get to work. The republicans have The White House, and a majority in The Senate and Congress. ********* "In November 2014, Chaffetz won a four-way race to become the chairman of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He was only the fifth Member of Congress in 89 years to become a full chairman after just three terms.[65] He ran on a promise to emphasize reform, telling Politico that "the pitch I made to the steering committee is we really have to triangulate the problem if we're actually going to get to reform. In order to fix the problem long term, we can't just be the highlighter pen. We do a good job highlighting things, but we don't do a great job of fixing things." [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] ********* So, now that he actually has the opportunity to fix things and help drain the swamp as the Chairman of The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, he walks. Makes no sense, unless he was just playing us all along - or someone got to him. politicians say what they need to say to get elected, they make promises they have no intention of keeping. Or they can't because of the deep state or whatever.
