4. The key words are "south Mississippi Democrat" -- I saw one of his town halls on C-SPAN
and it was the stereotypical white Fox News-lovin' group of no-nothings. This is a congressperson who would rather be elected than vote responsibly for his poor ignorant constituents.

Does anyone else find it interesting that Republicans have FOREVER talked about the country being a republic and not a democracy because democracy connotes mob rule so we must leave the decisions to elected representatives, but when it suits these same Republicans, mob rule is just honky-dory. Again, no core principles, no consistency of argument -- this is a party of ends justifying means. And the "ends" apparently is all about the concentration of money in the hands of a few, while the rest of us poor working saps can just get sick and die -- or go to war and die.

So sad that so many have heard the same lies for so long, while Fox News continues to march down the path of ignominy with impunity. Do people not understand that "commentary" and "news" are not the same thing? For the most part, there is no such animal as cable news!
