Jeff Hates the Environment

The League of Conservation Voters recently released scorecards for Congress. How did Jeff do? Poorly:

Jeff Miller (REP), 10%

Not only did all of the Democrats do better than all of the Republicans, With one exception, all of the Democrats did more than twice as good as all the Republicans. And most of the Democrats voted in favor of the environment more than four times as frequently as most of the Republicans.

I wonder how many of these Republicans own property that will be beachfront property when most of Florida is under water because of global warming? I'm just saying...

Jeff Miller Hates Fiscal Responsibility, Honesty

Pensacola Beach Blog:

When it comes to earmarks Northwest Florida's idiot congressman Jeff Miller says, "I would like to see a moratorium on all earmarks" and "I'm not going to sell my soul for two pieces of gold... ."

Instead, he gives it away in secret:

"But that didn't stop him from filing 15 earmark requests earlier this year, none of which his office would disclose at the time."

I understand supporting earmarks and I understand opposing them. Personally, I would oppose them if I were in office, but I can see why some support them. But don't condemn them and then ask for them anyway. That's hypocritical, dishonest and un-American.

Jeff Loves Bush

Pushing Rope notes the percentage of the time Florida Republicans vote in line with President Bush, one of the worst presidents in American history. Not surprisingly, Jeff loves Bush:

2007 - 91%
2006 - 92%
