While attending different events in Boise over Frank Church Weekend, I was a little surprised and dismayed to hear grumbling about a few of Congressman Walt Minnick’s votes. Apparently, in the minds of a few of our Party members, our newly elected Democratic Congressman is not voting with President Obama - or with the Democrats in Congress - often enough. In fact, I heard one loyal Democrat say that she was so angry that she couldn’t vote for Mr. Minnick again. As I reflected on these comments, I found myself smiling because it wasn’t that many years ago that many in our Party were saying the same things about me/Richard Stallings, former Idaho congressman.
