The Truth According to Kratovil

Does Frank Kratovil ever tell the truth?  I'm sure he does.  Like the the broken clock which tell the correct time twice a day, congressional candidate Frank Kratovil probably tells the truth on occasion.  Unfortunately for the citizens of Maryland's First District, he hasn't been doing it much lately.

Case in point - the Trillion Dollar Federal Bailout. (I know that they said $700 billion, but the price tag seems to be rising by the minute.)  On Monday, I stood in Holloway Hall at Salisbury University and watched Frank Kratovil state that he supported the bailout proposal which passed the US House last Friday.  Tuesday night, Frank Kratovil stood before a crowd in North East and said that he opposed the bailout.

From PolitickerMD -

Harris continued: "Mr. Kratovil supported the bailout plan passed last Friday. Now you don't get a bigger break for Wall Street than that bailout plan. In fact, he went so far as to say, just yesterday, that the crisis is solved. Ladies and gentlemen, the crisis isn't solved," said Harris.

Kratovil denounced Harris's claims, saying he didn't favor the bailout at all.

"I didn't like the pork either, and I would not have voted for it. And I did not say the crisis was solved. What I said is our country tends to deal with issues on a crisis by crisis basis," said Kratovil.

Harris refused to step back and continued questioning Kratovil's motives.

"Mr. Kratovil. Just pick up The Daily Times," said Harris. "It's in quotes. It says quote 'we solved the crisis.' Now which is it? What you said yesterday in Salisbury or what you're saying today in Cecil College? I don't get it."

Either Kratovil is detached from reality, in which case his family should seek medical help for the man, or he is lying.  Read More ...

The more I hear about Frank the more he turns me off.

Just searched the "Andy Harris for Congress" blog and saw nothing about his position on the bailout, just the normal spouting about cutting taxes and spending as his "prescription for our economy" (it's inder "issues").

If he has something to say why does it not appear there?

It was quoted here by Andy Harris. Open your eyes.

Please give me a freaking break. I am so sick of listening to lying politicians and beauracrats. From the Feds all the way to our local Wicomico County, we are lied too and treated like fools. It's no wonder that there are so few honest people who will run for office. Thank goodness for the ones that are there trying to make things better.

Frank looks like a mini O'Malley! Another $$ sucker that needs to stay out of politics and stay out of my wallet!
