Enough, already
We continue to hear candidate Northup state the position that she is a fiscal conservative and that things would change if she is elected. That is candidate Northup. But Rep. Northup was anything but a fiscal conservative during her stint in Washington:
- Like Nancy Pelosi, Northup voted "no" on all the Flake amendments that would have seriously reduced wasteful "earmarks."
- Rep. Northup voted against the line-item veto (RC 317 in 2006).
- Rep. Northup voted against cutting sugar subsidies (RC 234 in 2005).
- Rep. Northup never supported the fiscally conservative RSC alternative budget.
National Club for Growth political director Andy Roth made a great point to me last week regarding the RSC alternative budget. He said, "A person may say they are a fiscal conservative, but if they don’t vote for the RSC budget, then their rhetoric is empty."
Do Kentucky Club for Growth members need to know anything else?
