Brendan Doherty pointing – again
Brendan Doherty recently put out a tv spot titled “Gotta Be Kidding Me.” In the ad, Doherty claims that politicians in both parties find it tough to cut wasteful government spending, which he eloquently follows up with “You’ve gotta be kidding me. Those guys don’t know what tough is.” Doherty then talks about fighting crime and says, “After fighting real criminals, these guys in Washington don’t scare me one bit.”
Which “guys” (no gals?) is Doherty referring to? Has it slipped his mind that Republicans control the House? One would hope that he’s not too scared of his fellow Republicans.
But, I agree with Brendan Doherty that we should indeed be scared of the Republicans who have been running the House. Those “guys” want to repeal Obamacare, continue the war against women, end Medicare as we know it, and want to keep giving tax breaks to the rich. That’s exactly why we shouldn’t send Brendan Doherty, another Republican, to Washington.
Brendan Doherty, you’ve gotta be kidding us. You are one of “those guys” that you’re trying to warn us about. You’re in lockstep with the Republican agenda that aims to set our country back.
And by the way, Brendan, according to your own campaign website, government spending is down by $1,000,000,000 since last week and is still going down.
Thanks for reminding me. The national debt is at $16,052,294,570,255. That’s only about $14 billion more then when you first brought up spending. How many days ago was that?
As for Mr. Cicilline’s lies about Doherty’s position on Social Security and Medicare:
Doherty: I will steadfastly resist any effort to privatize Social Security or Medicare, and I will vote against any proposal to weaken either program for current beneficiaries or individuals that will become beneficiaries in the near future.
Doherty’s claim about those votes matters not a whit so long as he pledges to support a Speaker whose policy goals include making Medicare into a voucher program and reducing Social Security benefits. Until he pledges not to support John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and the rest of them for leadership roles, who cares what his opinion is about the few votes he actually would get to cast on those issues? To claim otherwise is either to imagine that we don’t know how the House actually works, or to reveal that in fact he has no clue.
I’m shocked…not! On this site, no matter what a conservative says is considered to be an untruth despite no evidence to the contrary but whatever a liberal says is true despite evidence to the contrary. And you people think conservatism is what’s wrong with this country? Supporting a proven liar for political office based on his ideology is what’s wrong with this country, not any ideology.
“Doherty’s claim about those votes matters not a whit so long as he pledges to support a Speaker…”
Yeah but he hasn’t pledged to support anyone specific for Speaker.
”You’re in lockstep with the Republican agenda…”
False. That fits your rants, but it isn’t true.
So if the national Republicans want to do X and Doherty is opposed to X and votes against X, you have a problem with that? Especially if Cicilline would have also voted against X? That makes no sense at all.
