The Columbus Dispatch has the story. Here are some excerpts:
...Kilroy and her supporters say that as the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference and the fourth-ranked Republican in the House, Pryce can’t escape responsibility for Republican misdeeds.
"You see one party in control of all three branches of government," Kilroy said. "I think people are fed up with all the scandals in government."
...Yesterday, Kilroy zeroed in on Pryce’s support of the 2005 budget bill, which spelled out $39.7 billion in cuts over the next five years, including $12.7 billion in reductions to student loans. The changes are expected to boost interest rates on Stafford loans by 28 percent, according to published reports....
..."Higher education here at Ohio State is part of the economic revival we’re going to need to be competitive in the global economy we’re part of in the United States," Kilroy said...
Pryce is a puppet of the Tom DeLay/lobbyist-controlled Republican House of Representatives. When Bush says 'jump,' Pryce asks 'how high?' Kilroy is correct in saying that people are sickened by these Republican scandals. It looks like Kilroy is going to get out there in Columbus, Arlington, Worthington, and Dublin to fight for the people in this district. Someone has to stand up for people, instead of the lobbyists.
Speaking of corruption: You must see this editorial cartoon of Gov. Bob Taft.
You must see the picture of the anti-Ney demonstrators here.
Update: I have just had the chance to watch Bob Ney's announcement that he'll run again for the congress. The announcement was recorded on CSPAN. Instead of Ney taking any responsibility for his illegal behavior, he blamed everything on George Soros. As a matter of fact, Ney mentioned George Soros' name a lot. Is Ney dealing with reality??? Ney also said that the "liberal establishment" in Washington, D.C. was behind everything. What is he talking about? The Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. He accused the Sierra Club of having "hallucinations" about the environment. I can say that Ney's speech was very, very strange.
Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, a Democrat, will give the Democratic Party response to the President's State of the Union Speech. MSNBC has the story. Will you be watching the speech? What will the President tell us that he hasn't told us yet? What is your opinion about the state of this country?
