Our freshman congressman, Tom McClintock, has done it again. Last month he voted against stopping Medicare premium increases. The vote in the House was 406-18.

He was one of 18 who wanted to increase Medicare premiums for seniors. Luckily he was one of the extreme minority. Today, he voted against extending unemployment benefits for millions of unemployed Americans. His extreme minority was even worse. The vote was 407-12. And the Senate voted unanimously 98-0 for this bill.

It has become very apparent that our freshman congressman from Southern California is an extremist.
