Idiotic anti-Massa letter in the Elmira Star-Gazette
Kuhl must be nervous if he’s having his lackeys write this kind of garbage:
Anyway, Massa has some questions to answer. Some are old, and some are new.
•Does he still support a $1.5 trillion socialized health care plan that will raise taxes?
•Is he still opposed to a constitutional amendment that would protect our flag and ban flag burning?
•Does he support denying an employee the right to vote “in private by secret ballot” on whether to form a union?
•Why was he so critical of U.S. Rep. John R. Kuhl Jr.’s trip to Iraq but silent when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Hillary Clinton went to Iraq earlier this year?
I’ll just field one of these, the last one: Kuhl earned the criticism of his trip to Iraq when he came back saying things like this:
He was impressed with the comfort of U.S. bases, invariably air-conditioned and served by top-notch cafeteria services. In Balad, American soldiers — whom he called “the best in the world†— can get “anything and everything they want,†including lobster tails when he was there.
Here’s the Kuhl plan, apparently: act like Mr. Nice Guy at the townhalls, then send his goons to smear Massa in the crappy Southern Tier newspapers.
Massa has spoken up about Pelosi and Clinton’s trips to Iraq. In his formal announcements, on the Elmira TV program, Coleman and Company, he was almost as critical of Pelosi and Clinton as he was Kuhl. You can see the whole program on the Massa For Congress website (http://www.massaforcongress.com) It can probably also be seen on You Tube. The tape is the whole program. Massa also indicates that he does not support all of Pelosi’s agenda, and hints that’s might have been one of the reasons he didn’t get the full support from the Dems.
As opposed to Massa’s “goons” sending anti-Kuhl letters in and bringing their cameras to Town Meetings hoping to be the next Frank Capra on YouTube? Come on, now, we know how the game is played. Thankfully, most thinking voters in the 29th see through this political maneuvering.
If you read my comments, I think you’ll see that I’ve been fair to Kuhl. And I don’t see how taping anyone is tantamount to goonery. But I’m sure you have valid complaints as well, though I don’t think the ones you express here are very valid.
And Frank Capra was a right-wing Republican, you know!
But, as always, thanks for reading and commenting.
Bud, would you prefer that we not cover Kuhl anymore? Should we just copy/paste Kuhl’s press releases and not bother videotaping?
We don’t have any ambitions to make it in Hollywood… we simply see a hole in the media and are attempting to plug it the best we can.
And yes, covering the events that Congressman Kuhl holds on our turf is indeed how the game is played.
