Can I have 6 more weeks to think about it?

Last week, “Doppelganger Week” took Facebook by storm with Facebook users posting status updates that read:

“Doppelganger week! During this week change your profile picture to someone famous (actor, musician, athlete) you have been told you look like…. and repost this message.”

It looks like either Bob Ehrlich didn’t get “Doppelganger Week” or he did and is exaggerating his doppelganger by pretending to be a fiscal conservative. On January 28 he posted:

“Less than 24 hours after the president calls for an end to wasteful spending, Congress does this.”

Unfortunately, he’s not being very truthful about his Congressional spending record with his Facebook fans.

On June 27, 2002, Ehrlich voted for S 2578, which raised the national debt limit by $450 billion to $6.4 trillion.  2002 was the first year in four years in which the government ran at a deficit.  The bill passed 215-214, so Ehrlich cast the deciding vote.  It was signed by President Bush on June 28, 2002.

I’ll admit that I don’t look exactly like Robert Downey, Jr., but Bob Ehrlich is certainly no fiscal conservative. He should come clean with his Facebook fans or at least change his profile pic to one of the big spender that he really is.
