Glad the Paula Brooks campaign isn’t letting Tiberi get away with his latest fluff piece/horribly misleading ad. Tiberi has been in Congress representing the 12th since our boy John Kasich handed him the job in 2001. For Pat to be pretending that he’s from Main Street is just laughable. He’s the worst kind of Washington GOPer insider. He’s the biggest kind of patsy Congressman. Always a reliable vote no matter what agenda the Republicans in Congress are pursuing.
Pat either thinks the voters of the 12th are stupid or they have short memories. He also thinks he can’t lose. [...]
Full Story... →Been on a two week gauntlet of business travel, but feel I need to comment on this old story about Pat Tiberi being a stimulus hypocrite (among the parade of recent GOP stimulus hypocrites outed lately).
Pat’s my Congressman. Dude pretty much knows how to lay low, go along to get along, and is generally considered a GOP patsy kind of guy. Did it surprise me to hear that while railing against the stimulus bill Pat was also writing letters trying to score some cash for his district? Not one bit. He’ll most likely get away with it too.

Full Story... →The Environmental Defense Fund is running ads against Pat Tiberi on climate change and energy. Seeing these a ton on TV today:
It looks like they are running two others against Mark Souder (IN-3) and Tim Holden (PA-17).

I’m not sure about IN-3, but OH-12 is a pretty solidly Republican district that has been slowly trending more Democratic since 2002. The ads in OH-12 are good softening ads, but absent a strong challenge with a [...]
Full Story... →Wow. Didn’t see this one coming. As Tim notes, a house resolution passed overwhelmingly today that recognized Hawaii as President Obama’s birthplace. A total jab to the birther insanity that has gripped the GOP.
Boehner voted for it. Schmidt voted for it. Hell, the guy who sponsored the damned “birther bill” voted FOR it.
My congressman and PB Joseph’s congresswoman? Tiberi and Kilroy both “not voted”. OK. Tiberi I get. But Mary Jo? MARY JO?!@?
Congresswoman Kilroy, please contact us immediately regarding this. I’m hoping there’s a real good explanation.

The Republican ones. Of course!
True Majority has teamed up with Oil Change International to let you find out. Transparency good, right? Here are mine:
Let’s see. The only Democrat on the list took less than $5,000 and voted 50/50. Doesn’t sound like influence to me. You? The three Republicans took $390,517 and voted overwhelmingly for the oil industry interests. Still playing the pay for play game I see. When will they learn?
