Stouffer: Skelton one of Nancy Pelosi's chief enablers

In a news release issued this morning, Fourth District Congressional candidate Sen. Bill Stouffer, R-Napton, continued to hammer on incumbent Ike Skelton:

In a meeting with the Kansas City Star Editorial Board on February 8, 2010, Ike Skelton defended his votes with Nancy Pelosi and his liberal majority in Congress for "Cap and Trade," the failed
stimulus plan and the TARP bailout as "the right votes."[1]

However, that should not come as a surprise. After all, Ike Skelton has been one of main enablers to Nancy Pelosi's speakership. Since 2001, Ike Skelton has contributed a whopping $865,000 to Democrat efforts in Washington to build a liberal majority we see governing today.

"I wonder if Ike Skelton thinks that Nancy Pelosi is the right speaker?" asked Aaron Catron, spokesman for 4th District Congressional Candidate Bill Stouffer. "Then again, he must since he votes with her over 95 percent of the time. In rural Missouri, we need common sense solutions and jobs. We cannot afford more of the Nancy Pelosi/Ike Skelton agenda of higher taxes and bigger government."
