Garrett wants to leave Congress

by: Hopeful

Mon May 12, 2008 at 11:19:10 PM EDT



Last week, the Republicans became so desperate to prevent Congress from addressing the mortgage crisis or funding the war (really!), that they resorted to repeatedly calling for votes to adjourn.  And what hard-core right-wingers went along with the call to quit without finishing their job?  

  • Mike Ferguson, who's quitting Congress this year.
  • Jim Saxton, who's quitting Congress this year.
  • Scott Garrett, who's seeking to return next year.

    Here are Garrett's votes to disrupt Congress, all on the single day of May 7th: House Vote 291, 286, 280, 279, 276, 273, 271, and 267.  

    If Garrett is so eager to leave, we should help oblige him.  No other New Jersey Republican who wants to keep his job has the nerve to act this way.

    tips? (4.00 / 2)
    I learned about the latest disruption tactic by following a link from mcjoan.  I congratulate my own Frank LoBiondo for staying away from this nonsense.

    Whatever happened to "All we want is an up or down vote"?

    This should be a lesson for all parties in power -- any power you try to accumulate to yourself while in power continues after you get out!  That means that your enemies will have the expanded powers after they take control.
