New Hampshire Reps. Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes Break Another Campaign Promise

August 22, 2007

  If you vote for a politician that promises to cut down on wasteful spending and expect them to follow through on this promise, you have another thing coming. Excpecially if that politician is a Democrat.

  One of the issues that Shea-Porter and Hodes campaigned on was cutting porkbarrel spending. Well that didn’t seem to happen. This is what they have voted for:

 $2 million for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at the City College of New YorkThe National Mule and Packers Museum in Woodlake, Calif. ($50,000)

The Doyle Center for Manufacturing Technology in Pittsburgh, Pa. ($1.5 million)

The National Drug Intelligence Center in Johnstown, Pa. ($39 million)

The Center for Instrumented Critical Infrastructure in Johnstown, Pa. ($1 million)

The Alaska Native Education Equity program ($34 million)

    When it comes to voting for spending bills, Carol Shea-Porter is just a girl who can’t say no
