ANNAPOLIS – Maryland Republican Party Chairman announced a new web video today that puts a spotlight on Congressman Frank Kratovil’s lack of independence. The video, entitled “Not So Independent,” can be viewed here:
“No matter how many times he repeats it, the fact remains that Frank Kratovil is anything but independent. After voting for highly divisive and unpopular legislation like Cap-and-Trade, the Stimulus and to make Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House, Kratovil has shown he is beholden to Nancy Pelosi and Democrat special interests at the expense of his constituents. No amount of spin or TV ads paid for through a war chest padded by Pelosi and Democrat special interests, can cover up Kratovil’s out-of-touch voting record.” – MDGOP Chairman Audrey Scott

TIME: 00:48
CHYRON: Frank Kratovi’s 1st Commercial, Rhetoric vs. Reality
Frank Kratovil: “That’s why I voted against the $3 trillion dollar budget.”
CHYRON: Reality: Yet Frank Kratovil supported the failed Stimulus that busted the budget. (H.R.1, Roll Call Vote #70; Passed 246-183; R 0-176; D 246-7, 2/13/09)
Frank Kratovil: “You see for me, it’s not about Democrats or Republicans.”
CHYRON: Reality: Frank Kratovil’s first vote was for Nancy Pelosi. (Election of the Speaker, CQ Vote #2, Jan. 6, 2009)
Frank Kratovil: “Maybe that’s why I’m ranked one of the most independent members of Congress.”
CHYRON: Reality: Frank Kratovil voted with Nancy Pelosi 85% of the time. (Frank Kratovil, The Washington Post’s Votes Database, Accessed 8/31/10)
CHYRON: Frank’s rhetoric, Isn’t reality.
CHYRON: 85% of the time with Pelosi, 100% wrong for the 1st District.

ill say it again,
he voted NO for health care AFTER it already PASSED.
Vote this piece of trash out of office
All of the democrats won't admitt they are true democrats anymore.
They use many different ways to get you to vote for them. Non-partisan is also one of them. They claim they don't like either party
and are independent. Non-Partisan is a party that goes way back and was originated as the socialist party ,then moved to the democratic party.DR. COWALL is also running the same format , claiming to be indepentdent as a democrat.
They are really true socialist and very close to the communist party.
You all should stop pickin on Krapovil. Thats pronounced CRAPOVIL.
I'll say this again, anyone that voted for Kratovil just because Harris beat Gilcrest made a huge mistake. Harris would have made a much better congressman. Gilcrest was much too liberal for me and Kratovil is even worse. Voters should know by now what the democratic party is all about. If you don't know it's all about tax and spend and controling every aspect of our lives. I'd say it's time for change.
Amen 2:41,but we all must vote if we do Kratovil will be gone if we don't vote,don't complain
What has Kratovil done other than vote FOR cap and trade and FOR 85% of everything Obama and Pelosi and Reid wanted? He's no independent, he is a typical liberal democrat. The democratic party is not spending money on his reelection efforts because he is such a good independent, that is for sure.
Look at the platforms. EVERY candidate is running on the "Fiscal Conservative, Smaller Government" platform this time around!
Don't fall for it. Google their past voting records.
If they have none, that means they are new, and not career criminals.
Vote accordingly. I have my sample ballot all filled out according to this method.
