Phoney Conservatives

It’s time to determine who is for real and who in the political landscape is blowing hot air.

Let’s take a Congressman. He is from a very conservative district.
His constituents are for less government, pro-life and most definitely pro-second amendment.

The Congressman goes to Washington, DC.

He is asked to vote on an abortion bill.

He said he would vote no and votes no on that bill.

The bill passes.

The next bill that he is asked to vote on is gun control.

He said he opposes gun control and votes no on that bill.

It passes.

The congressman in question goes home and tells his constituents that if only we had a few more “conservatives” like him in office we could have stopped those bills from being passed.

What said Congressman neglects to tell his sheep is that both of those bills need to be funded. Both bills become part of the Federal Budget. He votes for the Federal Budget.

That means that he voted to fund what he said he was against, abortion and gun control.

Nice trick.

We have such a Congressman in Tennessee’s Third District.
His name is Zach Wamp.

He is a seven term Congressman. And he keeps the same game, the same lies going every year.

We have a gentlemen running against Wamp whose name is Doug Vandagriff.

Doug is a regular blue collar guy. He holds down two jobs. He is going to look at these bills that are coming up for a vote and ask one question. That question is:

"If this bill is passed will it increase the Size, Cost, extend the Reach or Power of the government?

If the bill does any of those things he will vote no on that bill for those reasons."

The only way Doug Vandagriff will vote for the Federal Budget is if it were lower next year than this year.

Now Doug isn’t raising any money. He isn’t spending any money. He doesn’t have a website but if elected he will adhere to the above promise.

It’s time to get a real American to represent the people of the Third District of Tennessee.

On Election Day.

Vote for Doug Vandagriff.

Thought you ought to know.

PS.

Mr. Wamp makes a big deal of the fact that he attended seven colleges.

He didn’t graduate from any of them.

Mr. Vandagriff has a Masters Degree in History from the University of Tennessee.
