Earl Pomeroy casts deciding vote to adjourn the House instead of passing a budget, extending tax cuts

 

“I’m Earl Pomeroy, and I serve the Democrat Party – NOT North Dakota!”

Despite his recent ads where he tries to seek credit for voting with President Bush on the unfunded Medicare Prescription Drug entitlement, Earl Pomeroy is no friend of George W. Bush (and, as it turns out, hard-working North Dakotans).

Here’s the roll call of the votes to adjourn the session instead of passing such things as a budget, any of the 20 or so appropriations bills floating around Congress, or extending the Bush tax cuts (which are so popular that they were trying to call them the Obama tax cuts when there was a possibility of them passing).

Notice that if Earl Pomeroy had voted in a way corresponding to his latest ad campaign, this would not have passed. At the end of the day, you can always count on Earl to be a good Democrat lap dog and vote the Pelosi way.

By the way, despite the credit that Earl seeks for supporting President Bush, you may want to listen to this audio of Earl I grabbed from 2008 at the Dem-NPL convention in Grand Forks:

Let’s not forget that time a few years back when Earl Pomeroy called President Bush a clown, when he didn’t realize he was on camera:

So…I guess we can discern the following about Earl Pomeroy:

– when he thinks nobody is watching, President Bush is a clown;

– when he has an arena full of Democrat cheerleaders, President Bush perpetuated a “man-made, self-inflicted disaster” upon our nation;

– when his political career is on the line, Earl Pomeroy feigns support for President Bush hoping we’ll be fooled by his lies.

Sorry, Earl…we’re not buying it. Your days of acting one way in Washington and portraying yourself another way back here in North Dakota are OVER. Get used to civilian life, sir…it’s only weeks away.
