LETTER: Reject greed, obstruction, prejudice (GOP)

To the Telegram:

Now that we know that Mitt Romney is not part of either the 47 percent or the 99 percent but part of the out-of- touch elite 1 percent, we can focus on to those in congress who support Romney’ss horrible policies. Yes, I am talking about Sean Duffy.

Here is a man who cannot live on his congressional income.

Here is a man so out of touch with his district that he votes to destroy Medicare. Not once —but twice — as he voted for Ryan’s neanderthal budget. I care, not for me, I’m over 65, but for those in their 30s, 40s and 50s who will have their contributions taken away; and make no mistake, they are trying to end Medicare, Medicade and Social Security.

Here is a man who votes to end health insurance reform every time he had a chance, 30 times, and who, with the rest of his caucus refused to vote for the president’s jobs act.

Here is a man who voted 92 percent of the time with the radical GOP congress — the other 8 percent he was probably chopping wood — as they try to control women’s lives and block everything the president proposes to get our economy back on track.

Here is a man who is the personification of what the GOP has become — the party of Greed, Obstruction and Prejudice.

In short, Duffy represents his corporate bosses and not the people of the 7th District. On Nov. 6, vote Duffy out.

Vote for Pat Kreitlow, and while you’re at it, don’t forget to vote for Tammy Baldwin and President Obama too.

Terrance L. Stratton,

Trego, Wis.
