The Doolittle Debacle Continues...
On Friday, we learned that GOP activist Ken Campbell, a long-time supporter of Rep. John Doolittle, was withdrawing his support for the congressman because of his poor score on the Club's 2007 RePORK Card (This is after one of Doolittle's former press secretaries pulled his support as well because of the RePORK Card).
Yesterday, Campbell wrote an article on Jon Fleischman's FlashReport to explain his decision. Excerpt:
The 50 votes Club for Growth used are the most wasteful and irresponsible boondoggles one can conceive. Congressman Doolittle whole-heartedly supported 49 of 50.
I contacted Congressman Doolittle’s office to gain an understanding of this situation and I became more distressed. The reason given was essentially if he did not spend the money, “the monies…. would then become available to agency bureaucrats to spend as they saw fit.”
Think about that, Congress has an incredible appetite for our money and every year Congress allocates ever-expanding piles of money with no purpose, no reason, and no plan other than to have that money available for their irresponsible pork projects? And Congressman Doolittle is not angry about that?
