Bean's votes have lacked any sense

There are a lot of reasons to support Joe Walsh to replace Melissa Bean. Here are a few more.

Melissa Bean voted to spend $787 billion last year on the stimulus bill that was supposed to fund “shovel ready jobs.” Both President Obama and the Congress said it was an emergency and rushed it through. Yet, even after we found out about all the little extras, like turtle crossings, what did our congresswoman do?

When Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House would have to pass the Senate health care bill to find out what is in it, instead of seeing red flags, Bean voted for it. Is there any reader who, called by a salesperson, says you have to buy a product before telling you what you are buying? Any reasonable person would say no; Melissa Bean bought it.

I wonder if Congresswoman Bean would do the same with her personal money. This lacks all sense.

If we re-elect Congresswoman Bean we will be surrendering our rights, so the question is, do you want the government to control you or do you want control of the government? Failing to see root causes of problems and lacking even basic common sense, Congresswoman Melissa Bean needs to be sent to the unemployment line where she has put so many of us.
