the last conservative democrat to win a statewide primary in texas was lord benson in 1972.ou see the same thing in south carolina and you were probably the last conservative democrat to win south carolina. conservative democrats don't win primaries anymore, any place. even places like the carolinas or texas and tennessee. so they despair over that part of that. and if we got any hope at all, we must put it as unreliable as they are with the republicans and try to rehabilitate them, reform them and demand them and manage their behavior, punish them when they lapse and applaud them when they do well. they are in a great sense right now more than they have ever been before that great big swing vote out there. and right now they have a clear understanding who they're swinging against. they're swinging against the democrats 'cause the democrats are who are frightening them half to death. but they haven't yet found themselves comfortably able to say yes, and i'm swinging for these guys. 'cause you're still waiting for the republicans to show that they're not the republicans that

i recently visited with local business leaders at a chamber of commerce as well as the benson chamber of commerce and they told me that this is the kind of federal assistance that they need to help jumpstart hiring in their communities. i think that's true not only in north carolina but across the country. and congress needs to take action on jobs now. the centerpiece of the jobs bill that the house passed last week is a hired tax credit similar to the one i proposed in my hire act of h.r. 4437, a bill that would encourage businesses to invest by putting labor on sale for a limited time, helping small businesses expand and grow. the bill provides a payroll tax holiday to businesses that hire workers that is estimated to support roughly 300,000 jobs and encurning employers to keep those workers -- encourage employers to keep those workers longer term so they will receive a tax credit of $1,000 if they retain them. the jobs bill was passed last week, also included another proposal of mine, to support local school construction buildings by providing a tax credit for qualified school cons
