Lie, Lie, Lie to Get Elected
Newly sworn in Congressman Bill Owens laid bare four lies less than a day after taking office. Contrary to his campaign promises, immediately upon arriving in Washington Owens:
- voted for the public option health care plan,
- voted to cut Medicare benefits,
- voted to tax health care benefits, and
- voted to increase taxes on middle income Americans.
What part of choosing Dede Scozzafava did I or any other registered Republican here in NY23 have?!
E.J. Dionne, Jr., writes Warnings from the angry middle in the Washington Post, that Bill Owens win, Dede Scozzafava’s pathetic collapse and spitefulness, and Doug Hoffman’s loss was “a rebuke to the right wing” and that the “night’s biggest loser was the national conservative political machine.” Dionne rants that the right shoved aside the local Republican’s choice to “impose” their own candidate who “went down in a heap. He posits that Owens won because conservatives “forced out” Scozzafava “the official, moderate, locally chosen Republican candidate.”
What a crock!
