Vicky Hartzler Earns Another RINO Stripe: Hartzler Proving to be a Big Washington Spender

It hasn't taken long for Vicky Hartzler to go to Washington and show her true colors as a big spender. When the Secretary of Defense explained to Congress a second General Electric jet engine for the F-35 fighter would be a waste of taxpayer dollars, Hartzler voted for the jet engine anyway.

Now, with the government having no Constitutional authority to run a train service, Vicky Hartzler votes to continue federal funding to Amtrak. House vote 79 would have reduced federal funding for Amtrak, and Hartzler was the only Republican in Missouri to vote against reducing funding for a railroad service that continues to lose money and cost taxpayers a great amount every year.

I guess what we are soon discovering about Hartzler is she isn't very conservative, and we probably can't count on her to be a solid vote when serious spending cuts need to take place.

House vote 79 failed, which means taxpayers will continue to fund the taxpayer boondoggle, which only services selected areas, known as Amtrak.

So way to go Vicky. You quickly earned your RINO stripes! There were 59 other Republicans joining Hartzler and 190 Democrats.
