After one Minnesota mom told Rep. Cravaack how her family struggled to pay for her 8-year-old son’s bone marrow transplant, Cravaack replied, "That's a great story."

Cravaack then proceeded to share how his 80-year-old mother broke her hips and used Medicare to pay for a hip replacement. Rep. Cravaack voted to end Medicare as we know it with his vote for Paul Ryan’s budget.

Cravaack's hypocrisy is nothing new. During his 2010 campaign, Cravaack accused then-Rep. Oberstar of being out of touch with the 8th district. But as soon as he was elected to Congress, Cravaack moved his family to a $645,000 house in New Hampshire.

Getting this tool out is my highest political priority.

1. Mine is Patrick McHenry.

2. Can't stand that tool McHenry

I wish he were from my district so I could vote against him.

3. Bobby Schilling, Illinois 17th.

Just across the river, he has Lane Evans old seat. This guy is a pizza flipping, teabagging, smarmy douchenozzle. And he needs to go.

4. Absolutely. He is not doing anything we want up here in NE MN.

5. It's really strange, in a way...

how the Repubs managed to grab a reliably DFL seat, and now they're content to let it slip away.

6. They have been trying for years but most candidates they fielded were little more than a joke.

Craavack belonged to the Pilots Union so many were fooled by that and I will admit it most of us Dems have been very complacent because we loved Oberstar and thought everyone did. Word of warning to the wise.
