A recent column by David Brooks that appeared in the New York Times gave a glowing picture of Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15). However, letters to the editor in response to the column show that not everyone has such high regard for Pryce. You can check out all the letters here. Here is my favorite:
....David Brooks’s tribute to my representative, Deborah Pryce, was truly bizarre. It may be true that Ms. Pryce has retained an honest, inner voice, but her outer voice — the one that actually votes in Congress and has an impact on people’s lives — has been extremely problematic.
With a few exceptions, Ms. Pryce has been a reliable rubber stamp and cheerleader for the administration’s failed policies at home and abroad. She may have done so with a heavy heart, but that is no excuse....
I agree with this letter to the editor. Brooks does not know Pryce and how she has sided with her party instead of the wishes of her constituents. The fact that a majority of Pryce's constituents want an end to the war in Iraq has been ignored by Pryce because of her admiration and devotion to the GOP and George W. Bush. Time and time again, Pryce has supported big business, insurance, and petroleum conglomerates over the needs of regular people. Her tenure has served her party well. Her constituents? Not so much.
