An Unqualified Ditto for "Dewine’s Treachery: Blogosphere Reaction"

Porkoplis sees Nixguy's 'Dewine’s Treachery: Blogosphere Reaction' and raises him one 'DeWine: Ohio's Schizophrenic Senator'.

While we're at it...'Report from Red-State.com on Senator DeWine at a luncheon meeting' is thrown in for good measure with suggested questions his constituents could pose to him:
  • Why are you supporting the give-away of government land to lobbying groups?


  • Why are you cosponsoring a huge new government entitlement with Ted Kennedy?

  • Why do you allow your Senatorial colleagues to propose legislation that will affect the returns of Ohio Public Employee Retirees?

  • Why are you blocking Pension Benefit Guarantee Corp reform?

  • Why did you vote against Senator Coburn's amendment to limit pork barrel spending earmarks?

  • What's the deal with the $176,000 in farm subsidies you're personally benefitting from?
