Now that the House of Representatives has a narrow conservative majority, we need to ensure that remaining RINO's (Republicans In Name Only) like Rep. Fred Upton (Michigan 6th District) do not sabotage the conservative agenda. Rep. Upton's voting record indicates that he often favors the progressive policies.
Rep. Upton aspires to the chairmanship of the Energy and Commerce Committee which has major influence on a broad swath of domestic policy issues. However, he has voted against tax cuts and for Pelosi's Omnibus Spending Bill. He voted against federal deficit reduction and for increased welfare. He voted for bailouts and increased government regulation; against offshore drilling and for increased taxes on domestic energy companies. Those policies are indicative of a legislator who is not in touch with what the country wants.
Many people, including myself, feel that he should not become chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee since he is far out of step with the Tea Party values, the GOP, and America as a whole.
