Posted by Cato September 5, 2008 Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil wants to socialize medicine. At last night’s Health Care Forum sponsored by the Delmarva Central Labor Council and the Maryland AFL-CIO we heard a lot about our right to health care. According to Kratovil, all people have a right to health insurance. How does Kratovil, the man who has promised to cut your taxes AND cut government spending, plan to accomplish this? First, Kratovil’s plan would REQUIRE... Read Full Story

Posted by Cato September 4, 2008 Usually I don’t address a commenter directly in a post. That’s why those great folks at WordPress (or your blogging platform of choice) gave us the comments section. However, a recent post by my friend, fellow Red Maryland contributor, Michael Swartz motivated me to do so. It seems that one of Frank Kratovil’s shills has been hitting several Delmarva blogs with comments lauding the joys of all that is Blue Dog Frank. Fair enough. Providing an open... Read Full Story

Posted by Cato September 2, 2008 While it has been rumored for some time, the Baltimore Sun reports that soon to be former Rep. Wayne Gilchrest will jump ship and support Democrat Frank Kratovil. While it would not be wholly unheard of, usually incumbents who lose in the primary simply take their loss like a man and move on. If Gilchrest wishes his legacy to be that of a sore loser, so be it. As the Sun has been known to get it wrong before, we’ll wait until Gilchrest actually... Read Full Story

Posted by Cato September 2, 2008 As the Daily Times reports this morning, the Wicomico County Council will have a short meeting followed by a long work session. One of the key items to be discussed today is the plan to steal farmers’ land to benefit both developers and the enviro left. This unholy alliance is tailor-made for the man leading the socialist charge - at-large councilman Bill McCain. McCain gets to appease his developer clients while kow-towing to the fringe element of... Read Full Story

Posted by Cato August 27, 2008 …Mark Warner wants to strip workers of the secret ballot. Former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner has refused to publicly affirm his support of the so-called “Employee Free Choice Act”. Fortunately for Virginians, Warner was caught on video affirming his support for a bill which would strip workers of their current right to have a secret ballot in elections to decide union representation. Why won’t Mark Warner simply confess that he supports forced... Read Full Story

Posted by Cato August 27, 2008 … For Talking Out of Both Sides of Mouth Yesterday, we showed you the new TV commercial unveiled by Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil. Today a few tidbits were brought to our attention that you may find interesting. Blue Dog Frank promises to: Cut Taxes - Just a few months ago, Frank Kratovil called cutting taxes “irresponsible”. At a debate in January Kratovil stated that “we should not even be talking about tax cuts”. After the... Read Full Story

Posted by Cato August 26, 2008 Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was leading the pro-McCain forces in Denver Tuesday in what appeared to many to be an audition for the number 2 spot on a McCain ticket. Romney drove home the fact that Obama’s “qualifications” for the White House stem more from celebrity than leadership or experience. I admire Romney’s drive and willingness to back McCain after he failed to earn the nomination himself. I just don’t believe that he would make a... Read Full Story

Posted by Cato August 26, 2008 … But Could He Deliver? Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil launched his latest TV commercial last night.  It’s chock full of promises.  The only question is, could Blue Dog Frank deliver IF he were elected? End our dependence on foreign oil?  How Frank?  You’re opposed to offshore drilling, along with your masters - Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.  Do you think that wind and solar are the answers?  They’re only part of a solution...

Posted by Cato August 26, 2008 Joe Biden wants to be the judge over whether you or I should own a gun. The proud original author of the “assault weapons ban”, Biden has no problem with accusing people who cherish their right to keep and bear arms of being mentally incompetent. Sorry Joe, that’s what courts are for. I realize that liberals like you think that judges should legislate and legislators should judge. I guess that I was wrong when I thought that I lived in the United... Read Full Story
