IL-10th. Dold-Seals Endorsement Interview (Seals for Taxes)

Chicago Tribune video:

Seals keeps flipping on taxes. You know if he gets in he'll vote with the Dems. ObamaCare is one big tax. It's clear he's a big government guy. Individual choice and the private sector--that pays for everything after all [update: good Tribune editorial]--are an afterthought. Latest in the race, from Dold for Congress:

Seals Supports Stripping $560 Billion of Medicare

Winnetka, IL- At today’s candidate debate for the 10^th Congressional District sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), Democratic candidate Dan Seals couldn’t explain to seniors why he supported the health care reform legislation which will cost $1 trillion over 10 years and gutted Medicare by $560 billion to pay for it.

“Seals not only supported the health care law but thinks it didn’t go far enough and has publicly supported a further expansion of government into health care,” said Dold campaign spokesperson Kelly Klopp. “Seals was silent today when asked how he supported a bill that was paid for on the backs of seniors who can least afford it.”

Seals claims to be a fiscal conservative, and yet supports the traditional tax-and-spend policies of the current Congress. He supported the $862 billion Federal Stimulus bill and the health care legislation that will cost $1 trillion.

“Seals claims support for a pay-as-you-go system, and yet hasn’t explained how he would pay for his laundry list of spending, including the $862 billion Federal Stimulus and the $1 trillion health care legislation,” said Klopp. “His “fiscal conservative” language doesn’t hold up to scrutiny since he has supported a litany of spending projects and tax hikes to pay for it.”

“Dan Seals's only solution to every issue is to raise taxes,” said Klopp.

Latest bizarre Seals attack: Democrat slams rival (a Christian) for attending event on Yom Kippur:

Nothing in Jewish law or practice prohibits non-Jews from doing anything they would usually do on Yom Kippur or any other Jewish holiday, said Rabbi Michael Balinsky, executive vice president of the Chicago Board of Rabbis, a group representing more than 200 rabbis of all denominations.
