Ron Kind
For about ten years now I have been watching with interest the career politician Ron Kind. I am constantly amazed at his ability to parse words and obfuscate in order to deceive voters into electing him every election cycle. He talks like a common sense, Western Wisconsin citizen when he is here at home but performs political 180's and votes against the interests of our district when he returns to Washington.
Democrat Party Chair Vickie Burke recently wrote an opinion letter to the La Crosse Tribune defending Ron Kind against other letter writers who have been revealing Ron's actual legislative record. I simply could not stand by while she distorts the truth so I have also provided my responses to several of the points she makes in her letter.
I was digging through my political archives and I discovered this gem from the 2004 race between Congressman Ron Kind and State Senator Dale Schultz. During a PUBLIC forum at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Ron Kind refused to debate as long as a PRIVATE citizen was in the audience video taping the event. Why is Ron Kind afraid of the public knowing where he stands on the issues? Could it be that he doesn't want to be held accountable for what he says? Afterall, he is well known for telling us one thing when he is back home and then voting in a completely different way once he returns to Washington. Watch and enjoy!
Every couple of months I like to visit opensecrets.org to get a reminder of who it is that Ron Kind represents and also to see if there is any new data and statistics. Each time I discover some new information that proves to me that Ron Kind is no longer a representative of the people of Western Wisconsin. He is a representative of the federal government and the special interest groups. Take a look at this statistic showing where Ron Kind's campaign funding comes from:
I heard a brief clip of Ron Kind on the radio this morning trying to make the case that the only reason Republicans voted against the government takeover of health care was because they wanted President Obama to fail. So how does he explain the 34 Democrats who voted with Republicans to try and stop the bill from becoming law?
