>> Everyone gets money from the health insurance industry.

This is true; they all get money from practically EVERY sector.

But how convenient is it to just overlook the constituency? Mike Ross, my congressman, has been a leading figure in the Blue Dog rebellion. But frankly, every issue I call his office on he seems to agree with me, not the Democrat majority. He has opposed Obama all over the place.

Lincoln and Pryor are also pretty conservative. Why? Because their constituents will not send them back if they vote with the Democrats en banc. Landrieu faces the same problem in Louisiana.

These people need to receive credit where it is due. They are standing up to immense political pressure from the socialists and thus far, they're handling it well.
