Hey Spratt....Why'd you vote for that, and that, and that???!!!
Yesterday, Spratt made it on our list of MUST GO congressmen because of his votes for stimulus (where are the jobs?), cap & trade (do the people in the 5th district really want their electricity bills to "skyrocket?"), and obamacare (nail in the coffin).
Today, Spratt's home paper took notice and called him out for "bowing to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi."
Mick Mulvaney (state rep) is gunning for Spratt's seat. Mick is a "traditional" conservative and not afraid to take Spratt to the matt. In his own words:
I am a Republican, but more than that I am what I call a "traditional" conservative. I believe that government serves a very important, but very limited purpose. Sometimes that puts me at odds with Democrats, sometimes with Republicans. That's fine with me. My first priority is to the folks in Lancaster and York Counties, and to the principles we share: limited government; fiscal restraint and lower taxes; personal responsibility; strong educational opportunities; and a focus on private enterprise to provide jobs and create wealth.
We haven't seen any polling on this race. However, Public Policy Polling (PPP) does have a poll out asking readers which Congressional race they should poll next. If enough of us go to their Web site (http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2010/01/pick-house-district.html) and vote for SC-5 (John Spratt), then maybe we'll see some results soon!

Unbelievable. Does Spratt even care what he votes for?
01.26 UPDATE II:
National Republicans to run television ad against Spratt during the State of the Union - Ad blasts Spratt for introducing procedural move would get around the need for a 60-vote majority to hold off Republicans
01.27 UPDATE - PPP Poll released today
"Spratt's going to have to fight a lot harder than usual to keep his seat this fall but early indications are that 28 years of service aren't going to get done in by his health care vote."
What a creep. I see why he made your list. I am not from South Carolina but he is bad, bad, bad. I will definitely donate money to Mick. Then at least my district in Utah won't be paying for South Carolina. Thanks MMX for highlighting this creep.
ReplyDeleteSpratt and his kind needs to go. My wife just lost her job at a small shop in Greenwood. I think we will be all right but it will be hard. Not sure how i found your site but i like it. we will be at the march in april. we made the one in dc last fall.
ReplyDeleteJack Spratt could eat no fat......but that's because he and his fellow Pelosi Democrats have all the fat tied up in the budget.
ReplyDeleteI bet that the PPP poll will show Spratt down by at least 15 points. Go Mick!
ReplyDeleteI have contacted Spratt on several occassions in reference to various provisions in the H.C bill including the possible imprisonment and fining of an American citizen if he or she CHOOSES to pay for their own health care. He actually had the guts to defend this provision as well as the bill and all other Pelosi, Reid, and Obama policies!!!! I give him an A for honesty but my vote, money and time to to Mulvaney!!!!
