More Proof We Need More Conservatives in Congress
Yes, this is two-month-old news from Red State—but important:
Every Republican swears up and down that he/she supports limited government, a balanced budget, and free markets. Yet, once again, only a fraction of Republicans in Washington were able to stand for those ideals. The House and Senate passed the Obama highway bill/student loan stimulus on Friday with overwhelming majorities in both houses of Congress. [Read more about the bill here and here.] ...
... Just 52 Republicans, 21% of the conference, voted against this budget buster, which violated several tenets of the GOP Pledge to America. Only 19 Republicans in the Senate voted no.
Mmm hmmmm.

Same old stuff. Is any one surprised? It’s what happens when you elect people who say one thing but their track record promotes another. And people wonder why I am not hip for Mitt.
