My “wish he was my representative” Mike Pence scored 100%, my actual “who I did not vote for” representative Julia Carson scored a big fat goose egg 0%.
Club for Growth Releases 2007 RePORK Card
Even though the Democratic majority vowed to return Congress to a path of fiscal responsibility, the 2008 appropriations bills were stuffed with wasteful pork projects. While Representatives John Campbell, Jeff Flake, Jeb Hensarling, Scott Garrett, and David Obey (1 amendment) offered 50 amendments to strip outrageous pork projects from the appropriations bills, only one amendment, offered by Rep. Jeff Flake, passed.
The Club for Growth has compiled a RePORK Card of all members’ votes on all 50 anti-pork amendments (see below). “Taxpayers have a right to know which congressmen stand up for them and which stand up for the special interests,” said Club for Growth President Pat Toomey. “Unfortunately, the Club for Growth RePORK Card shows that most congressmen care more about lining their buddies’ pockets than they care about protecting American taxpayers.”
Yep, that sounds about right. Don’t trust a word that comes out of their mouth and question every action they take.
I had the same reaction about Pence and Carson. Carson represents my district, too. She’s a deadbeat absentee landlord but she will always be re-elected by the useful idiots in my district.
“Useful Idiots” that’s being kind.
If I ever sell my place and move, watch out Anderson, here I come.
