Talk:Mystery:Why is the Senate More Liberal than the House? (view source)
Revision as of 16:14, August 12, 2011
, 16:14, August 12, 2011→Influence of money?
::Well no, of course there's money flowing around on both sides of the spectrum. But liberals are far more likely to flip-flop their opinion (think [[John Kerry]]), so it's far more frequent for them to change their opinion around to suit the needs of whoever is signing the check. True conservatives tend to be a lot more dedicated to their values, and won't sell out their constituents.--[[User:MorrisF|MorrisF]] 19:29, 10 August 2011 (EDT)

::::Not really. I think you're indulging in some special pleading. There's only one reason that so many Republicans and Democrats in Congress were for the bailout. You can say they weren't "true conservatives," but on the same token "true liberals" can complain that John Kerry wasn't one of them. [[User:JDWpianist|JDWpianist]] 12:14, 12 August 2011 (EDT)
