Three DeWine Must-See Vids at Atlas Shrugs

Filed under: News from Other Sites, Taxes & Government — TBlumer @ 11:45 am

Pamela of Atlas Shrugs was at an “Election Dinner with DeWine” where incumbent Ohio Senator Mike DeWine informally answered some questions about his issue positions.

The three vids will not enamor him of all conservatives, but they clearly delineate (mostly by default, but it’s there) the stark differences between DeWine and Sherrod Brown.

If the vids don’t motivate you to consider your Senate vote (or lack thereof) carefully, you’ll be saying that strict-constructionist Supreme Court justices don’t matter, and that winning the War on Terror doesn’t matter. I don’t know how anyone can say that.

  1. I can vibrate in tune with his statements except 1) his reasoning for voting against allowing the American people access to our own natural resources, i.e. drilling in ANWR and the off-shore sites. If he wants to end our dependence on foreign oil, particularly the stuff coming from hostile or potentially hostile nation-producers, he should let the free market do that. In the meantime, oil is the lifeblood of our economic well-being, and we MUST keep it flowing at reasonable prices/barrel. 2) I disagree with his Gang of 14 reasoning. The filibuster should never be used by either party to shut down the Senate’s “advise and consent” responsibility in judicial appts/confirmations. I will vote for DeWine, but after the election, I will be working to replace him and also Voinovich with conservatives who won’t cry over ambassadorial confirmations or vote for gun control legislation.

  2. #1, those are definite craw-stickers that force you to consider the alternative and hold your nose. And I think he’s overstating what has been accomplished in non-Supreme judicial nominations.
