Early House Report Card

[xxThe_Lebowskixx]

[ QUOTE ]
When I created the "Report Card", there were three open House seats. One was filled today by Dr. Paul Broun’s of Georgia. Dr. Broun compares himself in some ways to another doctor in the House...our good friend Ron Paul.

Sounds somewhat promising, but not entirely. I found nothing on his stand on any gambling. I guess I'll rate him "?" until we learn more.

Regardless of the election’s outcome, Georgia’s 10th CD -- and Congress -- would have gained another conservative Republican. With Paul Broun’s victory, the GOP has gained aself-described “strict constitutionalist” who is committed to “restor[ing] government according to the Constitution as our Founders intended.” Broun has said that he, like Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.), will “always carry a pocket Constitution” on his person while in Congress, and will “apply a four-way test to all legislation” (in essence, is each piece of legislation constitutional, moral, needed, and affordable?)

Broun is a proponent of private property rights, an opponent of illegal immigration, and a supporter of the Fair Tax, or national sales tax (as well as the abolition of the IRS.) He is a member of the National Rifle Association and president of the local affiliate, the Georgia Sport Shooting Association. Further, he is pro-religious freedom, and is very outspoken against “the ACLU and Activist Federal Judges,” who he says are “destroying America's heritage of religious freedom and religious expression.”

this guys sounds like your typical american republican who claims to want small government and constitutional freedoms, but he really only wants freedoms related to jesus, not online gambling. the key word being "moral" in that paragraph you quoted. 99% of the time you hear "moral" the person using it thinks that its synonymous with christianity and the right wing agenda. Also, the words... "as our founding father's intended", comes with silent "christian nation" afterwards.

Rep. Eliot Engel copsonsored SGPA yesterday, bringing the total number of cosponsors up to 13.

Rep. Engel voted against HR 4411. He's not cosponsoring IGREA. He moves from A- to A.

Agree, especially after looking at it more. He's still rated "?" by definition, but I'm not expecting much from him.

As much as it takes. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I was pretty pissed when the government stole our right to play online, so I've been happy to do my part to fight back. On that topic, the next week to Obama will take only a few minutes. Thanks for signing on for that. I hope everyone here will join in.
