Of course Insurance Rep.Shelley Moore Capito won't criticize a Republican. Her faux "civility caucus" was never about creating a civil atmosphere from debate, but just a way for her to be incivil while allowing her to pretend otherwise. Sort of like how she pretends to be opposed to abortion one day and pro-choice the next day, depending on her audience.
Of course Capito voted how the insurance companies told her to vote. They want to cut off people with pre-existing conditions and deny coverage of the sick. The insurance industry has given Capito more than $930,800 in campaign contributions over the years. Nearly 20 percent of Capito's constiuents currently have no health insurance and the vast majority of them will benefit from this healthcare reform measure. But those people don't write her big campaign contributions so there's no sense in expecting her to look out for their interests.
