Lawmakers who dare? Don't count on it

In the Dec. 9 edition of the Heralds' opinion page Laszlo Stephan is apparently fed up with Democratic members of the House of Representatives. He predicts two years of noncooperation with the Republicans now that the Democrats are in the majority of the House. He criticizes the Mueller investigation, wondering how these "endless investigations of fake wrongdoings benefit the country." He says that honestly the hearings and investigations are not to find the truth, but to somehow find a way to impeach President Donald Trump. He frowns upon other agenda items of the democrats, such as Obamacare, open borders, abolish ICE, raise your taxes, setting aside the bedrock democratic concept of innocent until proven guilty. Up to this point I see nothing wrong with his stated opinions.

However, he says his hope for the future lies in voting out the Democratic majority in two years and electing "representatives who actually care about our great nation and not just lust for power."

If such people exist, so does the tooth fairy.
