This really is a serious topic – DOES Congressman Cravaack effectively, HONESTLY, still live in CD8? But given how often politics is dull and boring, this seemed a much better way to ask an important question prior to the 2012 elections.
Does he live in the district? Is his heart…….and more importantly, the rest of him…….STILL a full and proper legal resident, not just on paper, for the next Congressional run?
Or should he more properly be running in New Hampshire? After all, what kind of a family man doesn’t live with his family, except for military service? (Sure doesn’t sound like family values to me, without the actual family!)
What Raymond Cravaack was elected to do was to represent Minnesotans in Congress … where he was assigned to the Transportation Committee.
The question should not be why he is not running to represent New Hampshire, but instead WHY he isn’t in Washington working on transportation funding. The authority to collect the federal gas tax expires March 31, 2012 and his Committee does not have a bill that the House can vote on … the Senate is in session but the House is AWOL … these are JOBS … these are projects that communitiesn need … but the anti-tax crowd would rather let the gas tax expire than to work on legislation.
