NEBRASKA TAXPAYERS VOTING RECORD

The NTF Congress Watch team has completed our 2006 voting records for our Capitol Hill delegation, and there are no surprises. Congressman Lee Terry from the 2nd District scored 88%, a “B+,” but he would have won an “A” rating had he voted more with conservatives on illegal alien issues. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry held down the fort again with his 83% “B” rating. Cong. Tom Osborne, who continually hawked his supposedly conservative credentials during his 2006 run for governor, scored a paltry 74%, a “C” grade.
On the other end of the Capitol, Sen. Carlos Hagel, ever the champion of illegal aliens, scored a disappointing 79%, only 2 points above Sen. Ben Nelson, who, despite his constant yammering that he is a good fiscal conservative, rated only 77%. Nebraska taxpayers are stuck with Ben-occhio for another 6 years, because they shunned a real fiscal conservative challenger, Pete Ricketts. Nebraskans angry with Sen. Hagel for his stance on illegal immigration, his opposition to Bush’s War, his obvious presidential aspirations, or his tendency to chase the Liberal Media for photo-ops and sound byte commentary*, may wish to join the NTF “Show Hagel the Gate in 2008” project.
