Surprise - Another Dishonest Attack From Paul Hackett
Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is announcing his candidacy today in Ohio, and -
big surprise - Paul Hackett used the occassion to throw out yet another in
a pattern of misleading lines of attack. In the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
Hackett basically tries to blame Brown for the last decade of GOP rule and
the corresponding economic policies that have been disastrous. This, even
though Brown's career has been spent almost entirely in the minority party
in the House.
In a weak attempt to echo Ronald Reagan, Hackett says, "You ask yourself
if you are better off today than 11 years ago when Mike DeWine was first
elected, or when Sherrod Brown was first elected."
That's really disgusting. There have been, bar none, no Members of
Congress more committed to the cause of economic justice than Sherrod
Brown. Beyond that, Brown was elected in 1992, and Republicans took over
in 1994, meaning he spent all of two years in the majority, and those two
years he was a lowly freshman. Yet Hackett is trying to blame the GOP
record on Brown. That's the equivalent of blaming Paul Hackett for all the
things that have gone wrong in the Bush administration's Iraq War policy.
No one would do that. It would be dishonest. It would be reprehensible.
And it would have no place in a Democratic primary. The same goes for
these kinds of disgusting attacks that Hackett is throwing out there.
Look, I'm all for spirited primaries and campaigns, and in this post, I am
respecting the pledge I made to focus my writing on this race on issues.
That's what this is about - issues. Because what we have here is one
Democrat deliberately trying to deceive the public about another
Democrat's record on the issues - and that should should be sickening to
ALL Democrats, whether you support Hackett or Brown.

Look at Brown's record and you will realize why he is the best choice.
As for Hackett, he should get his political wings in the congress but and
his hawkish views may appeal to Ohio voters - maybe next time. They would
not appeal to me.
A veteran who is disgusted with the military and the policies of this war
government.
