Does McConnell vote against himself?
So, I get this from Megavote:
Amendment to establish an earmark moratorium for FY2009 - Vote Rejected (29-71)
The Senate rejected an amendment to the 2009 budget resolution that would have placed a yearlong moratorium on earmarks, special spending requests used by members of Congress to fund projects in their districts.
Sen. Mitch McConnell voted YES......send e-mail or see bio
Sen. Jim Bunning voted NO......send e-mail or see bio
And I am in disbelief. We have the minority leader in the Senate. His commercials brag about his position as being powerful for winning benefits to his constituents. He couldn't win jack with a moratorium. I would have expected this vote to go the opposite really.
