He only talks the talk. He has been responsible for some of the more intrusive pieces of legislation, such as the Sanctity of Life Act. He is also opposed to federal government influenza inoculation programs and the Civil Rights act of 1964. He harps about the evils of government spending, but has no qualms about loading up various bills with earmarks. Interestingly enough despite the record go his district, he has tried to eliminate Federal flood insurance. He was also one of the sponsors of the Defense of Marriage Act. And I'm not going to list all the bills he's sponsored trying to cut the taxes on a number of large corporations, or the attempts to limit federal regulation involving food safety, transportation safety or pollution. Yep, like a true Libertarian, get the government out of the corporate boardrooms, and back to where it belongs, in citizens' bedrooms.
