Just the facts, ma’am
Fighting 29th has a nice, reality-based rundown on the ins and outs of Kuhl’s complaints about the latest MoveOn ad (which Kuhl, probably falsely, claims has been pulled). The bottom line: if Kuhl is not resposible for the votes mentioned in the MoveOn ad, then
it’s hard to see how he Kuhl has any responsibility for any of his votes. Moreover, there’s the broader issue of accountability for his party’s positions, regardless of the specifics of individual votes. Kuhl has voted with his party on almost every issue, including continued (and sometimes wasteful) funding of the war in Iraq. He sits on no committees relevant to the war. Other than his public pronoucements on the war, these votes are all his constituents have to judge him by. And, in real votes on germane amendments, he’s voted against increased oversight of defense contractors twice.
Well said.
