Maryland: Kratovil

From Red Maryland
…Because Frank Kratovil is pissing on my leg.
I received a four-page letter (paid for on the taxpayer dime) from Kratovil’s office defending his vote for the American Clean Energy and Security Act better known as Waxman-Markey. The letter is not so much a reasoned defense as it is bag of rhetorical tricks, non-sequitors, [...]

Rep. Frank Kratovil of Maryland has been fined $3,860 by the Federal Election Commission for failing to report more than two dozen last-minute donations to his successful House campaign last fall. The FEC assessed the penalty under its administrative fine...

Some group with a nice name, but that I never heard of, praises Congressman Kratovil for voting against the bankruptcy bill HR 1106. Is this really another example of his "independence" or was he given permission (again) to just appear independent of the Obamassiah? Does anybody know about this group, Americans for Limited Government? At least they called on him to "go a step further and persuade his colleagues to do likewise and stop the bailouts once and for all”.

How vulnerable is freshman Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD)?  Not half as vulnerable as he, and his pals in the media would have you believe.

Sure, common sense dictates that Kratovil will have some tough sledding in 2010.  The First District has historically gone Republican since the early 1960's.  However, less than two months into his term, Kratovil and the DCCC are doing all they can to make sure that Flip-Flop Frank will get over the hump in 2010 so that his Democrat pals in the Maryland legislature can gerrymander a nice safe seat for 2012 (and beyond).

If you follow congressional seats around the country you will quickly find that this disingenuous stab at fooling the voters isn't limited to Maryland's 1st congressional district.
