During Tuesday night’s Fox Business GOP debate, Lefties operating the cowboy-sounding Western Values Project (WVP) ran ads targeting Representative Rob Bishop, the Utah Republican who chairs the House Natural Resources Committee (he’s also written for National Review). His sin? He is seeking to reform the somewhat corrupt and gone-astray Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), which expired in September.
