Kyle,

       It is a "good ol' boys club". The Senate, especially has more monied
people than any other body. Also, The rich have more to lose, money wise, than
most of us.
As for as the "conservative adminiistration, this president has to be a
greater disappointment the William Jefferson Clinton as that is saying a mouthful.
Like the Dixie Chicks, I am sorry to be from Texas right now.
