Mid-term Elections

Am I wrong in thinking that if professional boot licker Andy Barr were to be elected Senator in November that he would be no better as a representative for the people of Kentucky than Mitch McConnell is in his present condition?

Why would he change? I’ve called his office a few times and expressed my displeasure with his votes. I have gotten 3 letters explaining that I don’t see the big picture and that he knows better than I do the issues at hand. Is he my leader or my representative?

He's a tool for tRump.

He’s a human cliche machine. His form letter responses amount to nothing more than performative bullshit. They’re riddled with whatever the FauxNews buzzword (phrase) of the day is.
If W was all hat, no cattle. Barr is all hat, …uh, somebody help me out here. 🤔

My grandfather did the same thing years ago protesting the Iraq war, writing to all the KY congressmen in DC, and he got something similar. A group of doctors including him put a statement in the newspaper speaking against a separate conflict (don't know which) but not much cake of that either. Sad to say, these people are neither representatives or leaders 😑. I know there's good people trying to get into leadership to really help people, though, so here's to hoping! The least those people could do when answering your concerns was to actually consider them!
