Frank Wolf's Worst Votes of 2007 (Part 2)

Here's part 2 of a four-part series on Frank Wolf's worst votes of 2007. This entry covers the second quarter (April-June) of the year.

Bad Vote #1: On April 24, Frank Wolf voted against H.R. 327, "Providing for Consideration of the Bill (H.R. 362) to Authorize Science Scholarships for Educating Mathematics and Science Teachers." Good one, Congressman. I mean, why would you want to encourage math and science teachers anyway? Ha.

Bad Vote #2: On April 24, Frank Wolf voted against H.R. 318, "Providing for Consideration of the Bill (H.R. 363) to Authorize Appropriations for Basic Research and Research Infrastructure in Science and Engineering, and for Support of Graduate Fellowships." Same comments as above, just substitute the words "science research" for "math and science" and you pretty much get the idea.

Bad Vote #3: On May 2, Frank Wolf voted against H.R. 348, "Providing for Consideration of the Bill (H.R. 1429) to Reauthorize the Head Start Act, to Improve Program Quality, to Expand Access." Yeah, who needs a Head Start anyway?

Bad Vote #4: On May 3, Frank Wolf voted against H.R. 1592, "To Provide Federal Assistance to States, Local Jurisdictions, and Indian Tribes to Prosecute Hate Crimes." On this bill, 25 Republicans and 212 Democrats voted yes, but not Frank Wolf. What does Wolf know about hate crimes that those other 237 Representatives don't know?

Bad Vote #5: On May 8, Frank Wolf voted against H.R. 377, "Providing for the Consideration of H.R. 1294, Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act." On this one, Virginia Republicans Tom Davis and Jo Ann Davis voted yes, but not Frank Wolf. The bill passed 228-186, no thanks to Rep. Wolf.

Bad Vote #6: On May 24, Frank Wolf voted against H.R. 437, "Providing for the Consideration of H.R. 2317, Lobbying Transparency Act; and Providing for the Consideration of H.R. 2316, Honest Leadership and Open Government Act." Yeah, who'd want lobbying transparency, honest leadership and open government, anyway? :)

Bad Vote #7: On June 7, Frank Wolf voted against S. 5, the "Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act". Wolf's fellow "moderate" Republican, Tom Davis, voted yes on this one, as did 36 other Republicans and 210 Democrats.

To be continued...lots more bad votes by Frank Wolf to come.
