Edit: Labrador Is Dr. No From Idaho

Last week, Congressman Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, voted against a modest, bipartisan budget bill that avoids another government shutdown or two. The reason? The deal cancels about $63 billion in spending cuts between defense and ordinary, so-called “discretionary” government programs - part of a larger package of reductions dubbed the “sequester.” “Those spending increases gut the hard-won spending cuts Republicans fought for during the debt ceiling battle of 2011, otherwise known as the ‘sequester,’ ” Labrador said. “The ‘sequester’ - which ended up generating bipartisan support, and was signed into law by President Obama - forced necessary and long-overdue cuts in discretionary spending.” Setting aside the argument that when the dust settles, this deal cuts the deficit by $23 billion during the next decade, why is Labrador so enamored of the sequester?/ Marty Trillhaase , Lewiston Tribune.

Question: Has Labrador simply become a no vote for the Idaho Tea Party?
