Rep. Kimberlyn King-Hinds from the Northern Mariana Islands
Fitzpatrick has always been more comfortable as a Democrat while we all know Mike "Amnesty for illegals" Lawler is a POS.
These last two puzzle me; I thought territory representatives were observers and did not vote on bills. Apparently they are non-voting but can vote on amendments. As this was an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) the two territorial turncoats were eligible to vote. They shouldn't be able to vote on anything if they are "non-voting" members of Congress.
This is why we should not take any overseas territories into the U.S. They aren't American, they just use America for their defense and support.
I've long thought Hawaii doesn't belong in the Union either.
Even Alaska is questionable. Alaska is isolated from the U.S. and it has long been a hotbed of leftism despite it being a seemingly self-reliant place.
At any rate with friends like these who needs enemies? If any Republican votes with a Democrat for any reason he should be targeted for being primaried.

Hawai'i and Alaska became legitimate states back when I was in school, Tim. Which is when you were in grade school. Or maybe before that. During the Eisenhower administration, in fact.
BTW, I did my best to clean up this link; it was showing as all color. I hope I got it fixed.

I know Dana; we made them both states because the Soviets were eyeballing them both and accusing us of imperialism for owning them. I think it was a poor decision - neither really are American and both have been fairly reliable Democrat votes (which with Alaska is crazy as their primary industry is oil.)
I didn't see any problem with this when I opened it. The site's kind of weird smetimes.
