* In a blog called Fatalisnotmypal, the author calls Jon Husted an "empty suit" and says this:
....let us take a look at the empty suit candidacy of another "Conservative", the one and only Jon Husted or more appropriately “Whostead” who seems to know more about his lobbyists friends in Columbus and Upper Arlington than his constituents in Kettering near Dayton. Ask him about the loss of jobs from the NCR move and more than likely you will get a blank stare.....
That is from a Republican!
**** It seems as though voters are starting to examine Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi's (OH-12) voting record! Tiberi has been coasting along following John Boehner's every step and command. In the end, Tiberi's constituents have had no help from him as long as he continues to vote "NO!" on legislation.
Irregulartimes:
....What has Patrick Tiberi done in the 111th Congress to create jobs, to help get Americans back to work, to create incentives for job creation?
Nothing. Since he was last elected in November of 2008, Pat Tiberi has introduced five bills, none of which have been enacted into law. His most successful bill celebrates the 50th anniversary of an Antarctic treaty. Another of Tiberi’s bills, introduced last March, expresses support for the declaration of September as Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month. A third bill congratulates the Columbus Crew soccer team for winning a championship. Even if they had been passed, these three bills would accomplish nothing, having only symbolic effect as declarations.....
....As for the people who are living and breathing and voting and trying to find work in Dublin and Westerville? No, Pat Tiberi hasn’t figured out a bill for them yet. He’s been so busy criticizing Democrats for introducing the wrong bills that he just hasn’t had the time to come up with one of his own. Maybe he’ll come up with something in 2011. Maybe.
Ouch!>>Warning! A far right conservative group will be running ads against Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15), according to The Fix. The conservative alternative to AARP, 60 Plus Association, is a front for the pharmaceutical industry, according to SourceWatch. Factcheck.org has an entire file on this group and their lies.
