...Well my friends, here is another fine example here where the lefty blog tries to make a claim about State Senator Steve Stivers, canidate for Congress in OH-15, is “buddies” with the banking community, making a not so veiled attempt to say there is something “smarmy” going on....
1. Fact: Mr. Stivers was a lobbyist for Bank One before he joined the the state legislature. He has met with OBL (the Ohio Bankers League -See post below.) Mr. Stivers has received campaign contributions from PAC committees that are associated with banks, health insurance companies, tobacco, insurance companies (LINK) like American Bankers Assoc., National City, Huntington, Keycorp, Motorists, RJ Reynolds, Medco, Cardinal Health, etc. (Check the FEC.)2. I never used the word smarmy.
3. My facts have links.
4. The right wing blog writer uses the Editorials of the right leaning Columbus Dispatch newspaper and a letter to the editor to support his/her case. The editorials and the letter are based on opinions.
More from the Righties--
....Now, word around the town is that this story may only be beginning and that there may be more decisions made in teh near future that will give this “Pay-to-Play” scheme with Mary Jo Kilroy and the Unions even more scrutiny.....
What word around the town?
> Here is another tidbit-----
On January 17, 2007, that same blogger calls members of unions thugs. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Why does the right wing blog writer hate unions? I know many union members and they are not thugs.
