Childers leads state delegation with health-care dollarsDemocrats pointing their fingers should be careful standing by a mirror.
A look at Mississippi's members shows Reps. Travis Childers and Bennie Thompson lead the delegation in health-related contributions, with Sen. Thad Cochran not far behind.
On CRP's list for the 435-member House, Childers ranks at 142 with $12,500 in health contributions; Thompson at 186 with $7,400. The list contains information on 432 of the members and some tied in rank with the same total receipts.
A Daily Journal check of FEC reports puts Childers with $40,450 including insurance companies, which would rank him at No. 32. The same examination puts Thompson at $13,900 or 131.

The Mississippi Democratic Party blogs that campaign contributions and not "some noble calling" are driving Republicans to oppose Obamacare. I guess they need to explain their accusations to Travis Childers and Bennie Thompson.
