Bob Ney, "straight" shooter

[Johnny Coli]

Bob Ney (R-OH) launched the first gay-baiting campaign email yesterday, attacking Zack Space, the Dem opponent for the OH-18th district seat.

The ultra-liberal colors of Ohio's 18th District Democrat Congressional candidate Zack Space keep shining through. At the same time as he was campaigning with failed Presidential candidate and avowed Second Amendment opponent John Kerry in Ohio last week, Zack continued his outreach efforts to the national liberal and gay rights establishment by giving a lengthy radio interview on the liberal Air America network with one of the country's leading gay rights advocates, Rachel Maddow. Interestingly, a major financial sponsor of Air America is MoveOn.org , the same liberal organization based in Washington D.C., which Space purports to have no connection with, but which has been funding negative soft-money attacks against Congressman Bob Ney.

 

Maddow, who lives in New York City with her "partner," questioned Space about a variety of issues popular with the national liberal establishment while acknowledging at one point that she uses a different name when dressed "in drag." But perhaps the most interesting aspect of her interview with Space came at the end with a stunning admission by Space that he doesn't sense "social issues" are still "hot button" issues.

 

 

I'm not surprised Ney is having to stoop so low, considering he's in deep shite since his former aide, Neil Volz pled guilty to corruption charges that Volz and Abramoff conspired to influence Ney, and two more of his aides were subpoenaed in the Abramoff bribery case yesterday.

 

But hey, other than gay-bashing, what else does Ney have to run with? Besides, it worked in the OH-Gov GOP primary.

I am outraged!......at the frequent and unnecessary use of quotations in the second paragraph.

Is that the same Zack Space who took money from J.J. Cafaro (same dude who was given probation for bribing Jim Traficant)? Yeah, let's pretend he's not a turd.

 

Thanks for bringing another scintillating debate to the board, Johnny.

Cafaro's indictment was five years ago, and he paid a $150,000 fine. His $2000 donation to the Space campaign was two months ago, and the Space campaign returned the money when they were informed of Cafaro's past. That's hardly on the same par as Ney's legal problems.

Yep, he's a bit less of a scumbag plus he's a liberal. There's always an excuse when the partisans are involved. I personally like his ethics pledge coupled with accepting money from PACs.

 

Keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what your getting.
