Is it any surprise the darling of the Plain Dealer and husband of PD Columnist Connie Schultz, OH Senator Sherrod Brown was voted the MOST liberal senator in D.C.?
Ohio's senior Sen. Sherrod Brown has been ranked among the most liberal senators last year by the National Journal. He was also on the list for 2009.
The others on the "most liberal" list (all Democrats) are Sens. Ben Cardin, Rhode Island; Patrick Leahy, Vermont; Carl Levin, Michigan; Barbara Mikulski, Maryland; Harry Reid, Nevada; Bernie Sanders, Vermont; Debbie Stabenow, Michigan; Sheldon Whitehouse, Rhode Island.
The Journal picked Republican Sens. John McCain, Arizona; Jim DeMint, South Carolina; and John Thune, South Dakota, as the most conservative.
The publication tracks voting patterns of the 535 members of the House and Senate in compiling its annual rankings.
McCain one of the most conservative? It must be a misprint!
President Obama's puppet from Ohio, Senator Sherrod Brown, feels all those who opposed the recently passed health care reform are racist. And then typical of the double speak dipweeds in D.C., "clarifies" his statements....
During a bipartisan education seminar for congressional interns last week, Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown told a crowd of young people that those who opposed the Democrats’ health-care reform plan were on the wrong side of history, much like segregationists who opposed the Civil Rights movement.
While most speakers who participate in the summer lecture series discuss what it’s like working in Washington or use the time to motivate the internship class, some who were present during the Tuesday meeting said Brown took the opportunity to launch what they considered to be “a partisan attack.”
“He said that people who were opposed to health-care reform were similar to the bigots and racists that were against desegregation reform,” a Republican congressional intern who attended the lecture told The Daily Caller. The intern requested not to be named. “It was ridiculous,” he added.
A spokeswoman for Brown’s office confirmed that the senator discussed how Republicans use the filibuster, but clarified that he did not intend to compare opponents of the recent health-care law passed in May to supporters of segregation. (Daily Caller)
So Brown feels people who opposed the Constitution shredding health care reform that will in effect through cuts to Medicaid & Medicare wheel seniors into a corner and let them die are racist but remains silent about groups openly calling for the destruction of the United States and killing of U.S. citizens.
Would you expect anything less from a person such as Sherrod Brown who has long pushed an anti-American agenda?
Earlier today while eating bon bons and watching soap operas, I nodded off for a few minutes and had the most amazing dream...
In the dream, Connie Schultz wasn't married to Senator Brown, and he was (insert gasping sound) a Republican... I know, it's crazy. The tables were turned and the Republicans had control of the House and Senate. In my dream it was the Republicans trying to push a disaster disguised as Health Care Reform. Oh the pleasure she took when the Republicans were hiding from an unpopular Health Scare bill. Every Sunday I'd wake and start my morning with a diet Mountain Dew and read the immense joy that would come through the pages of her tearing into the Senator for being such a chicken. Oh, those columns were dripping with sarcasm for a United States Senator who has his staff purposely mislead his constituents. Well, not ALL of them, just the ones that aren't robots for ACORN.
Can you imagine how fun it would be to hear her take on this?
Oh wait! There's more!
Sadly, some dreams are too good to be true. Instead you have a PD columnist openly pushing her husbands agenda. I threw up a little in my mouth when I read her column on 8/2 titled Read the Health Care bill, it won't kill you. Cute, very cute. The problem for the democrats is that I, and many millions of Americans have read major sections of the bill and it is in clear contradiction to what is coming out the this administrations mouth. There are many many pages of this bill I and others would like an explanation on. You know, I'm just a dumb farm girl, but if you really believe in something, you should be able to defend it. The fact that Senator Brown has staff members routinely lie, over and over again and then stacks the deck inviting only supporters to meetings he "wasn't having" is cowardly and just wrong.
And if that's not enough, last Sunday's column put me over the top. Just the title should say it all. "Opponents of health care reform want you afraid, very afraid." Uh, note to Connie, if your husband would stop playing hide and seek with constituents, maybe he could clear this up for us. If he knows the bill, believes in the bill, he should be able to defend and debate the bill. Period. You say there should be a "thoughtful debate". Duh. So when is it?
