Let me see if I understand this correctly: Crawford has acknowledged his departure from being a conservative republican; Speaker White and Crawford both support expanding Medicare; because White agrees with Crawford, then Crawford awards him with the honor of being a conservative. And, when the position is lauded by the uncomservative Mississippi Today for White's support of the position, it's got to reflect true conservatism.

Yeah I got it now; thanks for explaining what conservative governing is to us Bill.

"Moral government is a third component" of conservative government. The Founders recognized that moral government is comprised with a sense of virtue in its citizens. "Virtue" was actually comprised of four main qualities in the late 18th century--community, honesty, industriousness, and religiosity. Even though only 30 percent of Americans were involved in regular worship at the time of America's founding, religiosity was still important, even in a secular democratic republic, since it was an effective vehicle for teaching and reinforcing the "virtue" of community, honesty, and industriousness in a society.

If liberal Mississippi Today say you a conservative, and

If liberal Bill Crawford say you a conservative, then

You must be a conservative!

Is that what I am supposed to believe?? Got it.

it doesn't much matter what party is in power here,,,,,the only growth industry in mississippi is government.

Jason White will turn out to be a poser...no different than Shad White, no relation.

A RINO

Billy wouldn't know conservatism if it hit him in the face! Evidently, Jason White doesn't either! I never though Dilbert would be the best chance to stop government expansion. This is sad and disturbing. I didn't fully know all the liberalism Philip Gunn kept at bay. I didn't realize we had a Washington DC House and Senate. All government programs grow beyond projects and at rapid rates and are pushed on to hard working taxpayers to finance. That's not compassion or economic expansion. May God save us from ourselves!

I wholeheartedly agree with the speaker. Everyone knows more and more government involvement is the easiest/best way to sort out an issue. [/sarcasm]

@4:35 - yes, you make good points until you fall off the wagon and lose your credibility with the statement that Dilbert is the best chance to stop government expansion.

First, if he could control the votes in the Senate and he wants to make folks believe he does, he would be further into the Medicaid expansion than Jason White and Bill Crawford are at this point. Bill's cronies at the MS Hospital Assn thought that Dilbert was going to be their champion and push it through this year now that Gunn was gone and former Dem White was in control. But Dilbert evidently didn't check the credentials of his committee appointees and found that they, along with a majority of the Senate, weren't quite as excited to fall into this trap as he was.

And once you get past his failure to achieve his Medicaid expansion, you have to look at his education policies where his office is seen as a branch office of Nancy Loome and his policy advisor her partner. Then you get to his finally achieving through his side of the capitol his long sought goal to provide Early Voting for the state with the Senate's passage of his bill that was hailed by his Democrat Senators. All those while expousing his absolute refusal to consider any further tax reform while wanting to raise other taxes.

Dilbert wanting to stop government expansion? Almost made me choke on my totty as I read that foolishness.

8:07 was that a Tater Totty? Sounds like you choke on his often. Jason White was and is a Democrat. Full Medicaid Expansion? The House is the one pushing it with NO work requirement. Delbert stopped it at 100% and mandates a work requirement. That sounds like two completely different plans.

Republican better come to the realization that Early Voting at the Circuit Clerk's office is about the safest voting there is. And WORKING republican will vote more often that others if they had more options. It is the way of the future to get more R's to the polls. Some do not have time on election day and are not thinking ahead of time to make it a priority. Republicans better get with it on Early Voting!

@8:07. Dilbert's insistence of a work requirement could be the poison bill. Keep up!
