Blue Dog to Lap Dog

January 23, 2013

John Barrow has been labeled “perhaps the most shameless, duplicitous, self-serving politician of his era” by the Augusta Chronicle and today he has lived up to the label. While Barrow has been called out numerous times for his two-faced political approach, today he reminded Georgians he has no problem throwing his “fiscal conservative values” out the window to side with Nancy Pelosi and Washington Democrats.

Case in point: Today, John Barrow voted against the No Budget, No Pay Act which would have finally held Congress accountable to pass a budget and do their job. Unfortunately, John Barrow would rather tell Georgia families that he thinks he should get a paycheck without doing his job and could care less if the country gets its fiscal house in order.

Two-faced Politician Alert!!!  In the 112th Congress, John Barrow cosponsored the No Budget, No Pay Act – H.R. 3643.

Now the question remains for John Barrow: Why did he side with Nancy Pelosi and fold on his so-called “principles” and vote against the No Budget, No Pay Act?

NRCC Statement: “John Barrow has once again proven that he is a two-faced politician whose allegiance is with Nancy Pelosi and not Georgia families. The Blue Dog Democrat that once lived inside John Barrow is now just a Pelosi lap dog at best. It’s time John Barrow is sent packing because Georgians cannot afford more of his political antics.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Katie Prill
