Tom Carper’s 100% Pro-Bush voting Record
When it comes to supporting George Bush, Tom Carper makes Mike Castle look like a rank amateur. Carper’s voting record makes him a unique species in the Senate. A blue state Democrat who is a 100% Bush supporter.
In the last three Senate votes that can be used to measure a Senator’s willingness to give Bush the benefit of the doubt – Carper voted 100% for Bush.
Even now, knowing what we know about Bush’s nonsensically belligerent foreign policy Carper VOTED TO GIVE BUSH option to attack Iran through a backdoor declaration of war.
Even now, knowing what we know about Bush’s determination to trash the constitution Caper VOTED TO GIVE BUSH right to use FISA to support the unitary executive theory.
Even now, knowing what we know about Bush’s plans for war without end in Iraq Carper VOTED TO GIVE BUSH some public relations relief by condemning free speech that Bush and the Republicans did not like.
There is just no way to sugar coat it. Based on these recent votes it is clear that – Tom Carper is a steadfast Bush loyalists.
Knowing all that we know, how is it possible that Carper can continue to give the President the benefit of the doubt? There is simply no justification for these votes.
None.
This POS is in it for the power. DINO Bush Dog DEM who had to give back Abramoff money. He likes that money, Tom does.
Wow…thanks for finding me a Democrat I can actually vote for!
Don’t forget the bankruptcy bill. Biden too.
anon,
Looking back his record is just as bad.
Chris,
The fact that you think he is good says it all.
Carper votes with the Dems on issues he knows are going to lose anyway (Webb amendment, habeas corpus restoration). He is playing Mike Castle’s game.
According to the National Journal last year Mr Castle was 53% conservative and 47% liberal, Mr Carper was 47% conservative and 53% liberal.
This article applied to many votes, in committee and on the floor.
The bankruptcy bill was good initiative bad headwork.
Have a great day.
Both Carper and Castle are playing the catch-and-release game to fuzz up their actual record of Bush support.
Well I think the bankruptcy bill was great for the banking industry. They wrote the bill after all. I pity the sick person who can no longer get proper debt relief; I guess in debt sick people need lobbyists.
I am proud of you Senator Carper. I am not sure I would have been 3 for 3, the Iran thing makes me uncomfortable. We need to be funding the free Iran movement. Help them get new equipment to broadcast into Iran. Ideas are more powerful than threats.
None the less I approve. Maybe now I will no longer be considered a wingnut. Afterall their senator is more in line than I am.
