Talk of the Nation: Bravo Marcy Kaptur

I was lucky enough to hear a good portion of the "swing state" broadcast of National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation today. The difference between the parties was so evident today as two of the guests were, Republican Jo Anne Davidson and Democratic Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur.

Ms. Davidson as usual, with representatives of her party, continued to repeat old dry and unbelievable republican talking points. She actually claimed the Gay Marriage amendment had nothing to do with the results of the 2004 election and implied that Ohioans don’t want fair redistricting because we voted against it and the only problem with campaign financing is the liberal 527 PACS, naming George Soros as an example.

Kaptur presented fresh ideas and a bi-partisan solution to many issues such as campaign financing and redistricting. Kaptur drew applause after many of her statements. In one case when Ms. Davidson touted the fairness of the House Ethics Investigation, actually drew boos and laughs that were audible over the radio.

Kaptur represented her party well today, those of you in northwest Ohio that have her as your congresswoman should be proud to vote for her on November 7th.
