Sherrod: I am not just someone for an anecdote
Wed Feb 22, 2006 at 05:04:10 PM PDT
I attended our regular union meeting last night and was suprised to hear that Sherrod Brown was going to speak. I tried to keep an open mind but shortly after Brown began I had to rush out. On my way out I ran into a reporter from the Plain Dealer and was
briefly interviewed. I tried to restrain myself and not strike out at Brown, I think I did ok. Upon reading my remarks today and Sherrod's response I am a bit taken back.
Chabot losing focus?

Rubberstamping Steve Chabot seems determined to keep his wagon hitched to the Bush administration. In order to do so he will have to spend time defending the president. From yesterday's
Cincinnati Enquirer it looks like Chabot has already lost focus on Ohio's first district. To witness:
Chabot, who returned from his Afghanistan trip Monday, said the U.S. also must help Afghanistan build its economy, stop the drug trade and build roads and bridges.
and....
"This is a very poor country. We have a lot to do beyond just training security forces,'' Chabot said.
This sounds more like nation building rather than Ohio first district building. We have a few bridges and roads that need attention. Our local economy is constantly loosing jobs. Our schools always need attention and don't even get me started on drug abuse. Try spending some of those federal dollars right here in good old Cincinnati. There is no need to travel across the world to find problems when we haven't solved some basic issues at home.
Newsflash to Chabot: Ohio's first district is in OHIO. You can find us on a state map, look in the lower lefthand corner.
