Ted Strickland Stands By His Comments

Posted by admin in Candidates, Issues on September 10th, 2010 | 0 Responses

Days after his Howard Deanesque rant http://youtu.be/FUQjqILJyLM on why he is losing his re-election bid, Strickland stood by his comments about the Republican Party being overtaken by zealots, extremists, and radicals who don’t like America.

When asked by a reporter if he stood by his comments that Republicans don’t like America very much, Strickland said “yes” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7PTdidXaDk and then went on to claim that his original quote was taken out of context.

“Ted Strickland is digging a deep hole that he’s not going to be able to get out of,” said RGA spokesman Chris Schrimpf.  “He says he stands by his comments about Republicans being extremists and criticizes Republicans for wanting to change Ohio from the way it is.  Ted Strickland’s Ohio has lost 400,000 jobs.  Strickland doesn’t want to change that?  No wonder he’s coming unhinged.”

Governor Barbour’s statement on the passage of health care legislation

The following is a statement from RGA Chairman Haley Barbour regarding the vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on healthcare reform legislation:

“I hope this healthcare plan covers hearing aids, because it’s clear Democrats who voted for it have not heard the majority of Americans who didn’t want government-controlled healthcare crammed down their throats. States cannot sustain another massive unfunded mandate, senior citizens are threatened by enormous cuts to Medicare, and American taxpayers and businesses can’t afford huge tax increases in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression.

“It’s truly sad that Rep. Bart Stupak sold out Pro-Life ideals by settling on an executive order that purports to make sure no federal funds in this healthcare plan are used to pay for abortions. Stupak and his on-the-fence colleagues have entrusted the lives of the unborn to the man who, as a senator, had a record of voting with the National Abortion Rights Action League 100 percent of the time. Nothing prevents President Obama from rescinding that executive order at any time, and it’s questionable whether it even has any true legal effect. Congressman Gene Taylor, D-Miss., told Fox News today that ‘anything the President does by Executive Order he can undo by Executive Order.’
