Title: How did your Representative vote?
Post by: JohnnyReb on November 18, 2011, 04:07:10 PM
How did your Representative vote on the constitutional balanced budget amendment? Four out of the 5 that S.C. has voted for it. We have 2 black representatives and half of them (one out of the two) voted for it. I'm proud of 4/5 of reps.... :-)

In a way, I'm glad it didn't pass. There were some things about the bill I didn't like but the vote shows that a balanced budget does have some strong support and that after the next election some form of it Hopefully a better version) might just pass.

I've been under the weather, so I missed this, but, when I saw that Paul Ryan voted against it, I was glad it didn't pass.

Mine did - Luetkemeyer (R, MO 9th District)

Blaine's voting record is solidly conservative and every indication is it's going to stay that way. He's one of the good guys.  :cheersmate:

Freeborn, you have Louise Slaughter?  Oh my God.  Mine is a faceless, nameless, milquetoast of a man, who makes no name for himself, rocks no boat, stirs no pot.  He just votes the way all the other dems do, and goes to lunch. 

Don't you hate being represented by someone you loathe?
