Defending Maryland

7:02 pm EST February 11th, 2006 | Politics | 4 Comments

Ben Cardin, Democratic candidate for the senate in Maryland, talked to MyDD

Singer: Your competitor on the Republican side of the aisle, Michael Steele, is extremely close to the Bush administration. I know they have raised money for him and cajoled him into the race. To what extent will you try to label him just a stooge for the administration?

Cardin: President Bush said when he came to Maryland to campaign for Lieutenant Governor Steele that he was campaigning for people who agree with his agenda. So I think it’s very clear that if Michael Steele were elected to the United States Senate, there would be another vote for George Bush’s policies to privatize Social Security; there would be another vote for George Bush’s reckless fiscal policies that have accumulated a lot of debt and are sending jobs overseas; there would be another vote for the oil interests – despite what the President says, the energy policy in this country is non-existent; there would be another vote for President Bush’s foreign policy. So yes, we will very much be making the issue that Marylanders want a voice in the United States Senate that will stand up to these Bush policies.

Bingo.

    Was it Clinton that balanced the budget? Indeed it was.

    Meanwhile… all Steele has to say for himself is:

    “I don’t need to talk about issues right now,” Steele said during a recent interview with The Sun. “I need to establish a relationship with voters.”

    Priceless…
