Plain Dealer Helps out With Democratic Talking Points

From Openers

But this week the top issue in the governor's race appears to be God: who loves him, who snubs him, who welcomes him into government.

The flare-up began last week when GOP candidate for governor Ken Blackwell told a Toledo audience that "Democrats still believe that government is God."

Democratic nominee for governor Ted Strickland said he was offended by Blackwell's comments because it left voters with the impression that Democrats are not people of faith, simply people who worship big government.

He demanded an apology from Blackwell.

What Strickland did not point out is that since Blackwell's party seized control of state government nearly 16 years ago, state spending has extended into the heavens.

Glad to see that if Strickland forgot to point that out, the Plain Dealer was more than happy to take up the slack and point it out for us. I wonder if they will give the same treatment to Ken Blackwell.
