Betty Montgomery UNLOADS on Petro and Blackwell

Nov 28, 2005- Submitted By:   general

From an e-mail sent out to her supporters…

But you could ask everyone you know and listen to hundreds of answers and you still wouldn’t hear someone talk about whether they prefer Jim Petro’s gimmicky constitutional amendment or Ken Blackwell’s phony constitutional amendment. Both claim that their RON-like amendments will magically cut states pending. Yeah, right.
Yet — as the newspaper article below points out -that’s what Jim and Ken are spending most of their time arguing about. Kind of reminds me of two used car salesmen arguing over which old junker will get better mileage. A lot of promises and rhetoric but not much under the hood.While the Jim and Ken squabble and squawk about which vial of snake oil will miraculously cure our ills and cut state spending, I’m traveling to every corner of Ohio making one simple point: a real leader doesn’t need a too-good-to-be-true constitutional amendment to cut spending and lower taxes.
A real leader — a Ronald Reagan-style leader -only needs two things: a veto pen and a backbone. And I’ve got them both.
Too bad the “trust me” twins Jim and Ken don’t have enough trust in their own leadership ability to cut spending the old-fashioned way: work hard and make tough decisions.

Wow it sounds like we have the Republican version of Howard Dean on the campaign trail. It’s amazing how nasty this race is going to get. Your comments?

Also, we updated a ton during Thanksgiving break, make sure you scroll down and check it out.

    Policies aside, I’ve gotta say… Damn. I’m impressed.

    BM has finally given us a reason to vote for her: “I’m a VERTEBRATE!”

    Too bad Betty supports abortion and high taxes otherwise she would be a lock for the GOP nom.

    Anonymous - I think you are correct. If she were “right” on abortion, the race would have been over a while ago.

    I don’t think she has any public stance on taxes honestly. At least nothing a tax cut proposal would not take care of.

    She has to do something to break away from Jim and Ken.

    The candidate sponsored by BIC has already separated herself from JP and KB, unfortunately for her, it was in the wrong direction. She needs something to catch-up.

    Perhaps now that she has admitted to having backbone, maybe her campaign can move forward by convincing potential voters that she is a mammal.

    Betty is being an elitist, by snubbing used car salesmen.

    She lost me when she signed on to the tobacco settlement; I do not support highway robbery.

    Sounds like Betty flipped her lid.
