John Kline, republiCon

In the last election, John Kline received the Pioneer Press endorsement (thanks, Craig - NOT) and promptly blew off the next three publicly scheduled events. Especially egregious of these was the Goodhue County Veterans Forum at the VFW in Zumbrota. Even more egregious was Mike Osskop's treatment of the truth. But most egregious of all was John Kline's reason for blowing off the veterans: he had to pick up a PAC check.

It never ceases to amaze me how republiCons can look people straight in the eye, and then lie through their teeth. Make no mistake, Mike Osskop is lying through his teeth in this video.

Watch the video, and watch where Osskop tries to claim Kline got a zero rating from the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) over "one vote."

Say, Mike? BULLSHIT.

The truth is out there, at the DAV Voting Record

If watching this video upsets you; if watching Mike Osskop trying to bullshit the veterans because John Kline had a PAC check to pick up upsets you, send some money - RIGHT NOW - to Sergeant Sarvi.

Oh - and here's an example of the difference between a Republican, and a republiCon, as I wrote back in January:

Congressman Jim Ramstad is a Republican; Congressman John Kline is a republiCon. Every year, Jim Ramstad willingly meets his constituents in a series of Town Hall Meetings; citizens can and do ask unscripted questions from the floor. Congressman Ramstad wants to know what the people think. John Kline had to be shamed into holding his only Town Hall Meeting. John Kline could care less what the people think.

When activists protesting the occupation of Iraq conducted “sit ins” in all of Minnesota’s congressional offices, Congressman Ramstad’s staff treated them courteously, listened to them, and even provided coffee and other refreshments. Kline called the cops. The difference cannot be starker: Congressman Ramstad seeks to govern by the consent of the people – he is a Republican; Kline seeks to rule by the force of government – he is a republiCon.

John Kline has got to go. Go and give to ActBlue-Sergeant Sarvi and help make that happen. If you really want to support the troops, you can do exactly that by helping to throw John Kline out.
