- YES on No Child Left Behind
- YES on Sarbanes-Oxley
- YES on the 2003 Medicare Drug Benefit
- YES on 2005 Highway Bill
- YES on the 527 bill (like most Republicans, he flip-flopped, having first voted NO on McCain-Feingold)
- Hunter also went 0 for 19 on the Flake anti-pork amendments.
- We gave him a 49% on the 2005 Club for Growth scorecard. That places him 187th within the House GOP conference, out of roughly 230 members.
- National Taxpayers Union shows a more telling trend. He was strong in the early 1990s, getting "B's" and one "A", but as time went by, like most politicians, his score dropped. For the past few years, he's been getting "C's".
Ouch!
I like Hunter more and more.
- YES on No Child Left Behind
GOOD! It was the right thing to do.
- YES on Sarbanes-Oxley
GOOD! Enron was a disaster, and we're in a war.
- YES on the 2003 Medicare Drug Benefit
GOOD! We needed it. Drugs ARE medicine nowadays.
- YES on 2005 Highway Bill
DON'T CARE.
- YES on the 527 bill (like most Republicans, he flip-flopped, having first voted NO on McCain-Feingold)
DON'T LIKE IT.
- Hunter also went 0 for 19 on the Flake anti-pork amendments.
HE SPENDS MONEY. THEY ALL DO.
He votes against offshoring jobs to poor countries leaving Americans in desperate share. Good.
On spending and Campaign Finance Reform, Hunter is a liberal.
LOL, sorry for the wrong cut and paste. That obviously wasn't your quote.
But the point is that the Club for Growth represents the Open Borders, Free Trade Uber-Alles style of Republicanism. It is possible to get a 100% rating from them while supporting gun bans, abortion on demnad, and gay marraige. It's possible to be pro-terrorist and get a 100% rating from them.
The conservative party is having some internal squabbles, and they are definately party to them.
That YES on Sarbanes-Oxley is a killer. That is one of the all time WORST bills ever passed!
- YES on the 2003 Medicare Drug Benefit
There are a lot of anti-Hunter freepers who still defend these monstrosities to this day. I've only started reading this thread, but I expect the cognitive dissonance to be out in full force.
The McCain-Feingold vote is wrong. Hunter voted against campaign finance reform.
Hmmmm... NEXT!
- YES on Sarbanes-Oxley

Ron Paul voted right on each of these issues and Hunter voted wrong. Can anyone here name another candidate who did the same?
