Arthur Brown – 9/24/08

Blame game doesn’t work for McCain; Arthur Brown; Beaver County Times; September 24, 2008.

Despite the fact his letters back to at least 2004 tell a different story, Mr. Brown claims to be a Republican. It’s more than likely Mr. Brown is simply another Republican impersonator along with Messrs. William A. Alexander, William G. Horter, Edward J. Hum, and George Reese.

Mr. Brown’s most recent previous letters told us “McCain would be worse than Bush” and “Bush can’t leave soon enough.”

Below is a detailed critique of the letter.

“John McCain has blamed Barack Obama for the rise in gasoline prices.

“That shows what he knows. Obama opposed off-shore drilling in California. People who live in California should be concerned because geologists can’t agree how dangerous it could be by drilling into the shelf that runs off the coast up into the Northwest. California is earthquake prone.”

[RWC] Does Mr. Brown just make this stuff up? Though there’s been no new drilling for a long time, but oil and gas have been (and still are) produced cleanly and safely from offshore California oil fields for decades. There’s also quite a bit of onshore oil produced in “earthquake prone” California.

“McCain says Obama will raise taxes. How is he going to handle the $85 billion of taxpayers’ money that President Bush said was necessary to keep foreign investors from thinking badly of the United States?”

[RWC] Cut spending perhaps? I know that’s a foreign concept to lefties, but that’s what we do in our personal and business lives.

You’ll note Mr. Brown doesn’t deny “Obama will raise taxes.”

“I am a Republican, but I cannot vote for McCain and his running mate.”

[RWC] I wonder if Mr. Brown went the extra mile and actually registered as a Republican as did Edward “Fellow Republicans” Hum.
