Dino… he’s not just another pretty face..

Facts on Rossi

• Called health care reform – or “Obamacare� – a “government takeover of health care� that he would repeal

• Recently led a seminar teaching wealthy investors how to profit from buying up homes Washington families lost in foreclosures

• His real estate firm failed to pay $20,000 in property taxes

• Helped raise money for an extremist right-wing group that wants to cut the minimum wage, family leave and unemployment benefits

One thing you can say for Washington State…

if these snapshots are any indication

we got the “nice guy” out of the bunch

but maybe that’s just because he has been unsuccessfully running for elected office for decades…

he hasn’t had so much opportunity to build his resume…

Fact checking Dino

his position on financial reform…

http://blog.thenewstribune.com/politics/2010/08/04/political-smell-test-rossis-wall-street-money/

the conclusion. the ad is misleading because it implies Rossi held a new position.. not so.. this was his position all along…

***

on his promotion of profiting from foreclosures..

http://www.thenewstribune.com/2010/07/23/1273978/state-democrats-call-rossi-a-foreclosure.html

loved this one.. the conclusion… he did buy a foreclosed property at 45 cents on the dollar and he does promote the purchase of foreclosed properties… but it’s too early to know whether or not he will make a profit. you can only be a profiteer if you make a profit ;->

***

on helping raise money for a right wing group that wants to cut the minimum wage, family leave and unemployment benefits…

i am going to leave it to you to fact check We the People… but as far as i can see the only fact in that description that is questionable on any basis is their designation as a right wing group… and i think that’s easily answered..

so.. from the horse’s mouth on Rossi..

http://www.redcounty.com/content/dino-rossi-checks-we-people

i know.. that only says he was endorsed.. and i admit i didn’t check to see if he spoke at one of their functions… but i am guessing he has.

***

on his real estate frim neglecting to pay taxes…

http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20100516/NEWS01/705169863/0/news02

Yup.. and there might be something uglier lurking in that story…

***

how Dino feels about Health care reform.. and other programs designed to assist citizens…

What Rossi had to say in Vancouver Washington on August 4…

http://www.columbian.com/news/2010/aug/04/rossi-still-disputes-job-saving-measure/

All i can say is that Rossi speaks for himself if you just take the time to listen.

so where does he stand on the issues that matter to you?

brought to you by the lovely people at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee

http://www.dscc.org/scorecard

i am not going to bother fact checking this short list because i read all that when i was fact checking the last set of charges…

yup.. that’s an accurate reflection of where Dino stands. so much for the image of a kinder gentler more reasonable republican.

and so much for the idea that both parties stand for the same things…

JoB, thanks for the infomation, everyone needs to be informed about him. Dino doesn’t have an original thought or plan. He will say whatever he thinks will get him elected, if that means pandering to the tea party or far right he will. I know him through a friend of a friend and I can say he has no true idealogy, he believes in money and his own advancement. He only wants the perks, not the work.

I am proud to call Patty and Maria my senators.
