Jim Himes today asks his constituents, at the Darien Library, for their thoughts on President Obama's request to bomb Syria. How brave of the Congressman. Polls show overwhelming opposition to getting involved in Syria. It is doubtful the congressman's constituents are much different.
Where was the Congressman's town hall when the vote for the Affordable Care Act was pending? Where was the Congressman's town hall when the Amash Amendment, which would have emasculated the Patriot Act, was pending? In a completely inexplicable turnabout, Himes, who voted AGAINST the Patriot Act voted AGAINST an Amendment that would have crippled the Patriot Act. Where was the Congressman's town hall when the Obama administration forced church's to violate their conscience?
On the tough votes the Congressman hides. On the easy votes he asks our opinion. Congressman Himes has been a disappointment with his leading from behind strategy and lock-step voting with Nancy Pelosi. Today's meeting at the Darien Library is further evidence of this.
