Hartzler: Ike Skelton lied

In a news release issued this evening, Vicky Hartzler, a Republican candidate for the Fourth District Congressional seat currently held by Democrat Ike Skelton, accused the incumbent of lying to his constituents:

Ike Skelton today voted for Nancy Pelosi’s plan of deception, to impose ObamaCare on Americans by trickery. Mr. Skelton voted with Pelosi against stopping the constitutionally suspect scheme to use Rep. Slaughter’s proposed scheme to pass ObamaCare without voting ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ on this terrible legislation. He believes this transparent trick has a chance of fooling people in Missouri, which shows how far out of touch he is. If Pelosi and the President succeed in the critical vote that may occur on Sunday, Skelton now is their willing accomplice, by his vote today for government by trickery.

Vicky stated, “Ike Skelton flat out lied to his constituents in saying that he would stand against ObamaCare. His vote today allowed Nancy Pelosi to sneak this bill by as having been passed without a vote. This sort of backroom wheeling and dealing is wrong and unconstitutional, and I am disappointed that our congressman has sided with liberal Washington politics rather than the people of the Fourth District.”

Skelton always acts conservative until they need his vote; then, he is always there for them.

Good ol' Ike needs to grow a pair and stand up to Pelosi. We need an up/down vote -- he should be man enough to stand up and be counted, whichever way he decides to vote.

Vicky Hartzler needs to remember not to throw stones when you live in a glass house - Hartzler has lied so much about her position that she doesn't know the truth! She is a pacifists, a lier about raising taxes, and a multimillionaire without anything better to do than pollute our government.
