John Tanner, the Chairman of the House Social Security Subcommittee, who is very much a Blue Dog Democrat, voted for the President's economic stimulus bill, which passed the House of Representatives yesterday. There were 11 Democrats in the House who voted against the bill. No Republicans voted for the bill.
So he wants a piece of the pork for his state. Just another irresponsible political hack.
