TANCREDO SPENDING - UNCONSTITUTIONAL
*
Tom Tancredo voted in favor of FIVE of the eight largest unconstitutional spending bills, including a key plank of Hillary's socialized health care plan.
This time he only voted in favor of TWO of the eight. One of them was unconstitutional spending on public education. Throwing more of our money has not helped the public schools in 50 years. It's throwing good money after bad down a sewer. Spending per student in public schools is far greater than in private/Christian/home schools, and the product is much inferior.
Only ONE bad vote here. He's improving, although the vote was a welfare state spending bill.
Again just one bad vote. It was for federal money for flood insurance. Tom needs to read Davey Crockett's "Not Yours to Give".
TWO bad votes out of eight.
Almost perfect. He abstained on the same item he voted wrong on in Spring 2004.
Out of 48 votes, Tancredo voted wrong 11 times and abstained once. That's voting unconstitutionally 23% of the time. Not great, but I will consider that five of the bad ones were in 2003 and he has gotten much better since then.
I do not like all his votes here, but I will not rule him out based on these alone, since it shows that he does seem to be learning of the constitutionality of these things and is not repeating many of his earlier mistakes. It is VERY RARE to see a Congressman improve like this. It's much more common to see one start out well, build a conservative reputation, and then go sour.
I am still stunned by his gun grabbing vote and his pro-abortion vote from the other list. I cannot support him until those are settled.
