Dennis Cardoza voted with Nancy Pelosi 96.9% of the time. On the government take-over of health care, cap and trade, explosive government spending on stimulus, higher taxes, entitlements, and on just about every other significant vote.
As political observers know, Speaker Pelosi is willing to allow her loyal members ‘passes’ to not vote with her on occasions when the outcome of a bill is not at stake. Dennis Cardoza has taken some of these passes, and he highlights them as evidence of his self-described “blue dog” status. But the truth is, whenever his vote was needed by Speaker Pelosi, Dennis Cardoza gave it. He voted with Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco, and against the values of ordinary Central Valley residents like us.
We care too much about the values of our community to sit by silently. So, we thought we’d at least let our neighbors know the reality of the situation so we can all make an informed vote in November. It’s time for us to stop voting with San Francisco and Nancy Pelosi. It’s time to start voting for the Central Valley.”

On Dennis Cardoza's website he claims to have a "centrist philosophy...highlighted in his role as a leading member of the Blue Dog Coalition, a group of 51 moderate to conservative House Democrats who are committed to fiscal responsibility and accountability for taxpayer dollars."
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, his voting record has revealed quite the opposite. He is a left wing liberal who believes that big government and big spending are the solution. Despite his Blue Dog claim, he has chosen through his votes to drive our federal government trillions of dollars further into debt. In addition, he supported crippling environmental regulations in the Cap and Trade Bill. Further, he has handed the reigns of our health care to bureaucrats and handed you, your children and grandchildren the tab.
Many in his district are waking up to his radical politics and big government agenda. Still others support him because they believe he is well-connected in D.C. To those in the second group, I encourage them to consider that a well-connected big government liberal is dangerous while a rookie small government conservative will help stop the Obama administrations efforts to transform American society. A vote against Cardoza is a vote against big government & big debt.
