He voted against an interim Senator, didn't want to change the Presidential Primary Date.
And this is something I don't see as being a valuable vote at all. He voted against a "Life Science Bill."
Huh? What is so objectionable about the future of medicine?
These are not huge expenditures. This is a bill that allocates valuable spending over ten years. Ten years. This is prudent spending as it invests in the future. I don't think this guy is too smart. He is a 'position voter' and doesn't care about people and if this doesn't prove it, don't ask me what does.
