Local GOP Newspaper Endorses Boehner

This evening the extremely right wing Gannett Corp newspaper in Cincinnati, the Enquirer, as expected, endorsed all the regional GOP candidates for Congress: Mean Jean Schmidt, Steve Chabot and, needless to say, John Boehner. The page is a tutorial on the reactionary instincts of the small-minded, stultified, fearful and confused petit bourgeouisie that is presiding over the unwinding of the great American experiment. One line sums it all up:

Democratic challenger Justin Coussoule has an impressive background of military service and business experience, but little in the way of political or financial resources.

And "little in the way of financial resources" is a detriment to public service? Certainly in the narrow minds of the Enquirer editorial board it is. They couldn't name a single thing Boehner has ever done for southwest Ohio-- mostly because, as they well know, he hasn't done a thing. But imagine the feeling of self-importance these worms will feel if "their" congressman is Speaker!

The first two comments are more interesting that the endorsement:

Amazing. They don't even pretend to have good reasons for these endorsements which to me, is a good enough reason to vote against them.. Hope the winning candidates remember, the Enquirer can be stiffed for interviews at any time.

20 years of Boehner - the Enquirer can't name ONE thing Boehner has done for the district. Oh, he supports "pragmatic Conservative values." Such as...?? He voted for a HUGE bank bailout. He helped craft the "Contract With America" that included a 12 yr term limits pledge and has exceeded that promise by nearly a decade.

He "counters" that his STAFF is adept at constituent relations? IF they're ever around, they nod, say thanks and send you on your way with no real interaction or dedication to exploring your concerns.

Boehner got $$$ from SALLIE MAE and then voted against student loan consolidation and lowering interest rates. Boehner got $$$ from the Univ. of Phoenix Online and then voted to make "online universities" legit (and now they're defrauding students, according to the GAO). Boehner got $$$ from big health insurers and then voted against Health Care. Boehner voted FOR Big Tobacco then handed out their $$$ on the floor of Congress.

BOEHNER IS CORRUPT.

Help Justin fight back here so we can keep this ad running right through election day:
