I honestly don't care what the source of information is; I care only about its accuracy. I want to know the most I can about all candidates running for office... and if they're dirty, I certainly wouldn't want them as a Congressional representative.
Notwithstanding the muckraking, I don't understand why, on a conservative forum, folks come out so strongly in favor of a guy who is in opposition to conservatism in so many ways, and opposes much of the Republican platform as well. Bilbray's lifetime ACU rating was 71 (68 in his final year). The ganGREEN envirowackos at the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) gave him an 85 rating National Environmental Scorecard. He certainly is not the *best* choice, IMO.
A big clue is in the name of the subscription. The tag line confirms the preference for expediency before principle.
