Reply #84: I said that his district votes 70-80% for Bush in presidential elections

I never said that he votes 70-80% with Bush. And yea okay so he voted for the bankruptcy bill and the medical malpractice bill, he's not perfect. He still has a fairly solid record of supporting fair trade and not supporting tax cuts for the rich.

And yes he gets more money from business than labor. Newsflash, organized labor is almost nonexistant in a state like Mississippi.

In total, Gene Taylor raised about $200,000 for that race which is almost nothing for a congressional race. So Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics gave him a few grand. Could that perhaps simply be because he sits on the Armed Services committee? Considering that those organizations give to both Dems and Republicans I imagine that they probably gave at least a few grand to every member of that committee no matter what.
