The Argus Leader has a report promoting Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin’s socialist agenda as I posted on earlier this week in regard to universal health care. Not only does Sandlin vote to increase the spending of big government, the Club For Growth has a RePork report card, that shows Sandlin refuses to reduce pork:
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."
If you scroll down the list, you will find Sandlin at the miserable pro-socialist 2% score. The only anti-Pork Amendment out of the 50 that Sandlin voted for was the only one that did pass:
House Vote 593 - Bars funding of $129,000 for the Mitchell County Development Foundation for the home of the "perfect Christmas tree" project. Amendment passed, 249-174.
So not only has Sandlin moved over with the far-left socialists, she has also joined in with the far-left secularists.
