So you think the Blue Dog Democrats and their Republican bedfellas are
fiscally conservative? Does $187.1 million in campaign contributions
from health and insurance interests sound conservative? Maybe it does
to the C Street
crowd, but to this dumb ass Hillbilly it sounds like a pay off to me.
Reckon this bunch prayed over the definition of fiscally conservative
before they took the $187.1 million? Ok enough ranting, let's get to
the facts.
