I don’t know who else is running for whip, but I can’t imagine that he’s more conservative than Scalise. While not every Louisiana Republican congressman is a near-perfect conservative, Scalise certainly fits the bill.
Peter Roskam, 52, of Illinois
Marlin Stutzman, 37, of Indiana
Clearly, Roskam is from a blue state.
I don't know if Indiana is weak red state or just a red state, which is where Stutzman is from.
But the Deep South has been strongly RED STATES.
About the worst thing about Louisiana is that we still have Mary Landrieu as Senator.
Get rid of her, and there will be only one Democrat in the Congressional delegation of two senators and six house members.
The state legislature has passed some good pro-life legislation.
One bill (HB388) will close three of the five abortion clinics.
The other bill (HB305) prevents any group that promotes or does abortions from being in the Public Schools.
That means that Planned Parenthood is banned from Louisiana public schools. Too, too bad... [ /sarcasm off ]
