To the Editor:
As the beautiful four color 8.5x11 bi-fold political propaganda piece dropped out of my copy of the Paducah Sun yesterday, and I began to read Representative Ed Whitfield’s claim of responsibility for the so-called “Economic Stimulus Package” I had to scratch my head in wonderment. Surely Mr. Whitfield cannot think that sending a $600 bribe to the taxpayers of America will cure the economy’s ills? This package is like placing a band-aid on a hemorrhaging wound. It’s as though Mr. Whitfield and the Republican Party are saying, “Sorry we messed up your economy. Here, go buy yourself somethin’ Purdy”.
But then again, the point of Mr. Whitfield’s expensive, colorful printed piece wasn’t meant to be about the logic of how irresponsible he and his party have been with the economy for the past eight years. Instead, it was intended to convince you that a bribe will prove he’s working for your best interests. I’ll wager my $600 check that this election year the voters of KY-01 will see through this shoddy façade.
