'Mr. GOP’ Tom Latham Blames ‘Bipartisan Bickering’ For Lack of Accomplishments in Washington
Hypocritical Claim from Latham Who Voted with Republicans 92% of the Time
Des Moines – In Fort Dodge and Boone this week, Tom Latham blamed ‘bipartisan bickering’ for the lack of accomplishments in Congress. However, Latham voted 92% of the time with the Republican Party at the bidding of George Bush, hardly a sign of bipartisanship in Washington.
“Tom Latham is blaming a lack of bipartisanship while at home, and then going to Washington and voting 92% of the time with his party. That is an even higher percentage than Steve King,” said Jan Bauer. “Tom Latham can’t hide from his Republican voting record when it is convenient.” Latham&am ...

MCCAIN JUST LIKE BUSH ON THE ECONOMY: OUT OF TOUCH WITH AMERICANS' ECONOMIC STRUGGLES
Jobs numbers fell for the sixth straight month today as 62,000 American jobs were lost in June. Unemployment remains at a four-year high. Meanwhile McCain is in Mexico to tout his support of free trade policies that help CEOs but leave American workers behind.
