Stouffer: Skelton thinks we're all stupid

A spokesman for Sen. Bill Stouffer, R-Napton, a candidate for Fourth District Congress, criticized actions taken by Rep. Ike Skelton during the health care battle. From a news release issued today:

Ike Skelton today had the chance to help force an up or down vote on Healthcare. Instead, he chose to back Nancy Pelosi and allow her to execute a parliamentary trick to pass the bill without a direct vote on it.

"Apparently, Ike Skelton thinks we are all stupid," said Christian Morgan, a spokesman for Bill Stouffer's campaign for Congress in Missouri's 4th Congressional District. "Why else would he say he's against the bill, then vote to support a legal trick to ensure its passage? Skelton is consistent in only one thing these days - and that's voting with Nancy Pelosi 95% of the time. Rural Missouri's voice is no longer being represented in Washington."
