I was under the impression that Cochran’s conservative credentials were OK. Have I not been paying attention or something? What happened?
I just threw his name out on account of his being named to the conference committee, one of 5 named from the senate. I used to follow the senate close, gave it up at the end of the 110th congress. I have total disrespect for Congress, double does of total for the Senate. Familiarity breeds contempt. I saw Senator Gregg go, overnight, from fiscal conservative to radical proponent of spending. He was the face of TARP. The Senate is full of phonies.
Voinovich, Lugar, Martinez and Kyl are four others that darn well might agree with this as well.
