The Flake Report: Georgia
Written by YellowJacket on July 26th, 2006The Club for Growth has compiled a master list of how every Representative fared during Rep. Jeff Flake’s recent 19-amendment assault on the recent appropriations bill in an attempt to strip pork out of it. The Club will link to blog postings for each of the Representatives (so titled, “435 Districts - 435 Blogs Against Pork”).
I am proud to report that my Representative, Tom Price (R - GA-6) voted FOR 16 of the 19 amendments, or 84%. Price has been consistent in voting against pork.
Most of the other Georgia Republicans also scored relatively well, with the exception of Appropriations Committee member Jack Kingston (GA-1). He voted for 0 of the amendments.
Here’s how the entire delegation stacks up:
Kingston (R) - 0/19
Bishop (D) - 0/19
Marshall (D) - 1/19
McKinney (D) - 0/19
Lewis (D) - 0/19
Price (R) - 16/19
Linder (R) - 14/19
Westmoreland (R) - 18/19
Norwood (R) - 17/19
Deal (R) - 18/19
Gingrey (R) - 8/19
Barrow (D) - 0/19
Scott (D) - 0/19

Rumors have it that Kingston also has eyes on the Governors mansion in 2010 if the Democrats manage to wrestle back control of the House.

Looks like the Georgia Democrats have no chance of claiming they are the party for fiscal discipline. I wish the Republicans in my state (CA) did half as good.

Again, Gingrey’s RINO colors show. He got a 73% from CAGW, the lowest of any Republican from Georgia. Now he shows 42%, again the lowest, almost by half. We’ve got to replace this loser.
