I take a back seat to no one when it comes to [insert conservative issue] phrase
When a Swamp member uses this phrase, the desired effect is to educate the public that this member is an awesome conservative on a particular issue. But all it does is confirm that the member is a Swamp creature. Alternative phrases include "I'm as pro-life as they come, but...!" or "I'm a lifelong conservative, but...". Swamp members also frequently cite their artificially inflated ACU rating to prove they are conservative or they reference Ronald Reagan to justify their swampy behavior.
