Today, I was honored by the Club for Growth with the Defender of Economic Freedom Award. 49 Members of the House and 6 Senators received the award as well.

This award is granted to those members who demonstrate a strong commitment to economic freedom and free-market principals. In order to receive this award, reciepients must have earned at least a 90% rating on the Club for Growth’s most recent scorecard.

Award?
Good for you. But didn't you just vote for the socialist housing bailout bill, congressmen? I guess they decided to give you the award before your vote. I thought you were a fiscal conservative? Does anyone wonder why we lost our congressional majorities?

Good for Boehner
He's reportedly following his own advice. I sure wish my Representative made the list.

Economic Freedom?
Would this include the free market freedom for that well known Texas conservative Phil Gramm to create the Enron loophole? Did you know that Phil's wife was an employee of Enron before the collapse of this company. The definition of Republican free market economics turns out to be privatized profits and socialised losses. From what I can see out here, this fleecing of the American people will be coming to an end shortly.

boomerbust is right
The Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae bailouts should not occur. After all, these organizations could have declined to back all those loans which the Congressmen were pushing to go forward in the name of political correctness. Thanks for your support, boomer

Historian
I find it amusing Historian. I dont recall any congressioal bashing occuring while the rubber stamp Republican Congress was destroying this economy and adding another fivr trillion dollars to our national debt for our grand kids to pay for. But I guess thats just the conservative way of doing things. How did Sir Ronnie explain it, trickle down I believe was the humorous little term he used.
