Here is part of his press release

"Section 633 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-58), which Strickland wrote, ensures workers' rights in regard to Workers would be able to keep their accrued service credit or rights to transfer into the DOE contractor's Multiple Employer Plan or the Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement, a retiree health care plan."

Too bad Strickland voted AGAINST THIS BILL THAT HE WROTE on April 21st. The bill did pass 249 - 183, despite Strickland's best efforts to defeat the bill he wrote.

Our Junion Senator voted against the repeal of the Death Tax....thanks RINO.

From Larry Kudlow

Our rich people don’t need another tax break. No, they need higher taxes. And they should be vilified, too. That’s right: America should attack rich people. In fact, we must abolish wealth, which is a tremendous drag on our economy. It’s high time that we made the rich poor.

As for all the xenophobes who want to deport the illegal immigrants who toil in this economy, may I respectfully suggest that their generals (i.e., Lou Dobbs, Pat Buchanan, and Tom Tancredo) consider expanding their dragnet? Let’s deport rich people, too!

These rich people are bad for America. We don’t need their ingenuity, their entrepreneurship, or their capital investment. In the name of egalitarian socialism, the only thing we need from them is more tax dollars. We now tax their incomes as salary, corporate profits, dividends, capital gains, and at death. But we must do better.

Perhaps we can tax their huge contributions to charities. That’s the ticket. We can tax them when they fund the building of a new church or synagogue, or when they create another college, or when they finance private scholarships or inner-city educations.

But we can’t stop there. Let’s criminalize the entire class of successful American entrepreneurs. Let’s haul out the distributional tables from the Joint Tax Committee and the Congressional Budget Office and target all upper-end earners for special wealth taxes.

And he had a primary!

The American Thinker: Haditha: Is McGirk the New Mary Mapes?
June 9th, 2006

Evidence accumulates of a hoax in Haditha. The weblog Sweetness & Light has done an estimable service gathering together the articles which cast substantial doubt on the charge of a massacre of civilians at Haditha . Because the blog is too busy gathering and fisking the news, I offered and the publisher accepted my offer to put what he has uncovered in a narrative form.

Having done so, I can tell you that the story has a whiff of yet another mediagenic scandal like the TANG memos or the Plame “outing.” While the Marines quite correctly will not comment on the case pending the outcome of their investigation, I am not bound by those rules, and I will sum up the story for you...

Read the rest.

From my perspective, having been on the same side of a shooting investigation, under no circumstances should the Marines be denied their constitutional rights. How this flushes out, from our perch here in Ohio is anyone’s guess, but these young men deserve to be treated justly and as Americans. I will point out that a week before the alleged incident CNN was with the same unit and praised the Marines for their unparalleled fire discipline.

I think too many conservatives either because they oppose the war or have been conditioned to back down when the media makes a full frontal assault on an issue are recoiling and not combating the MSM (I personally think it’s the latter). Who is going to stand by these men, the great humanitarians of Amnesty International, MoveOn.Org, or the Democrat Party? If those Americans that believe in the rule of law desert these men, what hope is there for our country?

These men deserve the better.
