American Conservative Union Grades Gene Taylor A 24 Out Of 100

You and I have heard Gene Taylor say over and over that he’s one of the most conservative members of Congress. I don’t know about you, but I never bought that lie “fib” because I track his voting record, the positions he takes on issues.

But what about the 150,000+ hard working Mississippians that take him at his word? Gene Taylor sounds conservative when he’s at a townhall meeting in front of the folks that he’s accountable to and he runs on a conservative platform in one of America’s most conservative districts. Why shouldn’t you take him at his word.

Thankfully, because you and I have to work 40, 50, 60 hours a week or more to help finance the ever-increasing needs wants of our Federal government, there are independent, unbiased organizations that follow and report on the voting records of our Congress members.

The most trusted and respected of of these watchdog organizations, The American Conservative Union, has been holding Legislators accountable since 1964. Their findings on our congressman may come as a total shock to you. Turns out, Gene Taylor isn’t nearly as conservative as he leads us to believe.

In fact, according to the ACU, Gene Taylor only scored a 24 out of 100. Yikes! My Grandma would tell Gene to go out to the edge of the woods and pick out a good switch for telling a fib like that.

This, in one of the most conservative congressional districts in America? To put this paradox into perspective, two of the most out-spoken conservatives in Congress, Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and John Boehner of Ohio (Taylor voted against Boehner for Speaker of the House and voted for Nancy Pelosi instead. I guess Boehner was too conservative for Taylor.), scored a 100 and a 92, respectfully.

Are you telling me that Minnesota and Ohio are a more conservative group of people than South Mississippi? You and I know better. The fact is that Gene Taylor is a moderate Democrat. And the fact is that we deserve and demand representation in Washington DC that reflects America’s most conservative congressional district.

Gene, fool us once, shame on you. Fool us for 20 years, shame on us!

Share, and help fire Gene Taylor
