I CRINGE every time someone calls Fred Grandy a conservative.

I grew up in Iowa. I lived there when he was a congressman from Iowa. Fortunately, to the preservation of my shame, he was not from my area, so he is not my fault.

I do not know whether his voting record is online, but if you can find it, you will see he voted a liberal line on every action brought up during his tenure. Whether he has changed his position, he should spend the rest of his life in repentence of it...not given a voice on radio.

And more so, he should NEVER be called a conservative.

How do I know about his voting record? At that time, the Moral Majority published, by state, the voting records of all elected officials. The only person more liberal in his votes was Senator Tom Harkin.

I agree his ratings are not very conservative...but not Harkinish.

You sure you didn’t confuse him with Jim Leach? Now THERE was a loser.
