As we’ve shown you here and here Roger Wicker seems determined to whitewash his record of failing the Coast. This is example #4 of how Roger Wicker failed our Gulf Coast and why for showing such lack of foresight he should not be allowed to serve as one of Mississippi’s United States Senators.
Roger Wicker DID NOT SIGN on to multi-perils insurance coverage.
During his time in the U.S. House, between the time of introduction and the time of passage, Representative Roger Wicker was the only member of the Mississippi congressional delegation who did not sign on as a co-sponsor of the multi-perils insurance bill.
Roger Wicker is no “longtime friend of the Gulf Coast” as he claimed in his first ad.

The Multi-perils Bill has come a long way since it was first introduced. This is an undertaking that has never been done before and there were several holes that needed to be filled. Signing onto something that is politically popular is not always the right thing to do. Roger did the responsible thing and studied the bill before fully supporting it. That’s the kind of Senator I want, one who looks at things from all angles before jumping on board.
ReplyDeleteSo you think Pickering (R), Taylor (D) and Thompson (D) were all irresponsible?
ReplyDeleteNot at all. You are always talking about Roger jumping on band wagons and supporting things just because Roger is a so called follower. Here is one fine example of him being independent and studying something without signing on with the rest of the gang, being Democrats or Republican. I think in one of your last post you talked about Ronnie being that independent guy for Mississippi. Here is Roger being independent, but that’s not good enough for you.
ReplyDeleteIn reality the only independence was shown by Pickering who bucked his party that is partially owned by the insurance industry. Wicker was not independent in either his indecision or his decision then against action.
ReplyDeleteRoger Wicker's voting record would suggest he votes strict party-line. Recently he supported the Farm Bill and maybe the GI Bill, but nonetheless two outside the box votes for Roger. What I want to know is can we count on Roger to vote for us outside of election years?
ReplyDeleteRoger will vote the conservative above all. If McCain wins, Roger will not vote with the guy every time. I think you will see many Republicans do the same if McCain makes it.
