* Looks like Republicans in Crawford county are talking about some recent remarks made by Rep. Bob Latta (OH-5th) at one of those meet the candidates dinners. Latta went on a rant attacking President Obama and other Democratic member of Congress, according to a blog by SteveMaloneyGOP.
Govtrack.us has these statistics for Latta:
The top campaign contribution to Latta in 2007-2008 was $20,000 from employees of National Auto Dealers Assn. Robert Latta’s net worth was between $828,025 and $2,170,000 in 2007, according to Latta’s mandated financial disclosure statements....
Of the nineteen bills sponsored by Latta in the 111th Congress, eleven of them are House Resolutions (a statement of support for a group or event).
Latta has gone over the edge in the past. On November 5, 2007, the Toledo Blade, wrote about a reprimand given to Latta by the Ohio Elections Commission:
The Ohio Elections Commission unanimously slapped congressional candidate Bob Latta with a reprimand after ruling today that his congressional campaign knowingly or recklessly lied about opponent Steve Buehrer’s positions in political flyers......
Wow. The unanimous vote shows that both Democrats and Republicans thought Latta lied. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
*** I just discovered Buster's Blog and thought it was great:
...John Kasich watched a lot of Hogan's Heroes too. Because when he was recently asked about what role he may have played in the failure of his former employer, Lehman Brothers, Kasich immediately went into Sgt. Schultz mode:
"Nein! Nein! I know nothing! I hear nothing! I see nothing!"
That is the best comparison I've read! While Lehman Brothers was going through other people's money at a rapid pace, Kasich claims he saw nothing. It is hard to believe.
