I am not sure that Hal Rogers is the worst offender but I agree that he makes frequent trips to the hog trough. He is the last national Republican that I have voted against. I read quotes from a Rogers Paintsville campaign stop and realized that he could just as easily be a Democrat when it comes to wasteful federal spending. I voted against Rogers once, but then I realized the damage that a Democratic president with a Democratic Speaker of the House can do, and vowed never again to vote for another Democrat in a national race.

The most important vote that any representative or senator casts is the one that determines which party sets the national legislative agenda. Otherwise, I would not hesitate to vote to send some Republicans packing for home. Unfortunately, nearly all of the truly fiscally conservative members of Congress are in the Republican Party - and there are not many of them.

Turn that around, add Bush, and you will see why I will never vote for another Republican in a National race.
