In his weekly Cheers & Jeers column, Marty Trillhaase/Lewiston Tribune gjeers the Club for Growth:

The last time this group came to Idaho, it spent $1.1 million electing Bill Sali to the 1st Congressional District in 2006. Sali was the last thing Idaho needed -- a polarizing blowhard -- but the Club for Growth didn't care. Sali went on to fame for such things as proposing to repeal gravity. One thing he would not do, however, is vote against a farm bill. So in 2008, Club for Growth deserted Sali and Democrat Walt Minnick defeated him. Two years later, Republican Raul Labrador beat Minnick. Now the Club for Growth is back with plans to elect Idaho Falls lawyer Bryan Smith to the 2nd Congressional District. That would mean ditching eight-term Republican Mike Simpson with someone tied to the GOP's lunatic fringe. Club for Growth President Chris Chocola labels Simpson a "crazy liberal" and a Republican in Name Only. Mike Simpson, who famously pulled strings to yank wolves off the endangered species list?

Question: What's your opinion of 2nd District Congressman Mike Simpson?
