Jersey Deserves Better Than Frank LoBiondo

I'm sure that when LoBiondo signed the Contract with America, including their push for the glory of term limits, he had every intention of fulfilling that contract. But here we are, LoBiondo is comfortably settled in his congressional seat, and not about to give it up for those old ideals. But hey, politicians lie to us all the time, so we shouldn't be surprised.

Instead of focusing on what he says he'll do and doesn't - let's look at how he's voted.

Voted NO on allowing human embryonic stem cell research. (May 2005)
Voted YES on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions. (Apr 2005)
Voted YES on forbidding human cloning for reproduction & medical research. (Feb 2003)
Voted YES on funding for health providers who don't provide abortion info. (Sep 2002)
Voted YES on banning Family Planning funding in US aid abroad. (May 2001)
Voted YES on making the PATRIOT Act permanent. (Dec 2005)
Voted YES on Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage. (Sep 2004)
Voted YES on protecting the Pledge of Allegiance. (Sep 2004)
Voted YES on constitutional amendment prohibiting flag desecration. (Jun 2003)
Voted YES on banning gay adoptions in DC. (Jul 1999)
Supports anti-flag desecration amendment. (Mar 2001)
Voted YES on prohibiting needle exchange & medical marijuana in DC. (Oct 1999)
Voted YES on allowing school prayer during the War on Terror. (Nov 2001)
Voted YES on denying non-emergency treatment for lack of Medicare co-pay. (Feb 2006)
Voted NO on allowing reimportation of prescription drugs. (Jul 2003)
Voted YES on banning physician-assisted suicide. (Oct 1999)
Voted YES on continuing intelligence gathering without civil oversight. (Apr 2006)
Voted YES on emergency $78B for war in Iraq & Afghanistan. (Apr 2003)
Voted YES on permitting commercial airline pilots to carry guns. (Jul 2002)
Voted YES on $266 billion Defense Appropriations bill. (Jul 1999)
Voted YES on deploying SDI. (Mar 1999)
Voted NO on establishing "network neutrality" (non-tiered Internet). (Jun 2006)
Voted YES on declaring Iraq part of War on Terror with no exit date. (Jun 2006)
Voted YES on authorizing military force in Iraq. (Oct 2002)


You know what would be nice? For New Jersey's 2nd district folks to help LoBiondo keep his term limit pledge and vote him out of office - voting in
