In other words, if I wasn’t shaking in my penny loafers about Alan Nunelee beating me over the head with it, I probably would have voted for it.  If I can get past him and reach a point where I don’t have strong challengers, I’ll not have to worry about this kinda crap and can vote like a Dem.

It gets lost in the translation sometimes.

What a WIMP, sound off like you got a pair, Childers. Be proud of what you are. What are you anyway?

It should have said “Thank you queen Pelosi for not selecting me to walk the plank.”

Thing is, Childers will never draw an easy breath while in the House.  Considering how strongly the north part of the state is conservative, and I mean real conservative not any of this phony blue lapdog crap, there’ll always be a strong GOP candidate for the job.  If Nunnelee doesn’t beat him, there’ll be someone in 2 years to give him a run for his money.  His seat will never be that secure like his brother Bennie Thompson’s is.

Psalm 109:8

8:  Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

Maybe, but I’d have never dreamed that a Dem would’ve taken Trent Lott’s old seat and held onto it for 20 years either.  Including the ‘94 wave.

Granted, Taylor’s a different animal in some ways, but there’s still enough similarities.  This is the most likely shot to take the seat back.  Main thing about Childers is that he’s shown enough leg to make one think he would prefer to vote with the Dems much more often than he is (almost apologetic to them; sorrowful; regretful).  “Will the avg. voter realize this?” is the question.

The real question is this.  A true conservative would have been wailing (loudly) against this bill for any of 1990 reasons.  There was enough junk on nearly every page of the bill to make a conservative throw up.  A true conservative would have been campaigning against this bill.  Did we hear Travis do that?  No, we just heard him waiting on the Speaker he voted for to tell him how to vote.
