Knox Paper Endorses Overbey

First, I don’t think papers should endorse candidates. That said:

The KNS has endorsed challenger Doug Overbey. I personally have stated I’ll be voting for his opponent, incumbent Raymond Finney because Overbey while in the house crossed party lines to vote for Jimmy Naifeh as speaker of the house. Jimmy Naifeh, you’ll recall, is our lying speaker of the house who keeps abusing his power to kill pro-gun bills. Likely it’s this reason that Finney has the endorsement of the NRA.

As to the KNS endorsement, they say:

Both men sponsored a number of bills that became law during the two-year session: Finney 25 and Overbey 38. In fact, Overbey’s total was more than any other House Republican and ran the gamut from revising medical malpractice laws to funding hospital trauma centers. Chairing a House subcommittee that dealt with health care issues put him in a good position to shepherd those measures, but it is important to note the bills passed with a Democratic majority.

So, number of laws is good? And one wonders why government at all levels is out of control. It’s because, by golly, there ought ta be a law! Sorry, not impressed. Less is more. On Overbey’s sell out of his party, the KNS opines:

And, beyond the rhetoric and spending, Overbey’s effectiveness in working both sides of the aisle and his energetic approach to issues give him the edge in this race and our endorsement.

    I wish that I could vote in this primary, because I would take Finney (who is an unknown quantity to me) any day over Overby for exactly the same reason you have stated.

    I vote for Naifeh is a deal-killer to me.

    Absolutely.

    Did Kurita sell out her party or do the right thing and was bipartisan in voting for someone of the other party for Lt. Gov?

  5. Mike Says:

    People should vote their conscience. If Overbey did that he needs to switch parties and so does Kurita. It is strange though that when Republicans vote for (or with) Democrats they are “bi-partisan,” but when a Dem votes for (or with) Republicans they’re traitors.

    On a national level, the “blue dog” Dems (like Heath Shular) don’t dare cross their leadership which means they implicitly endorse their positions. If they voted what they say is their conscience, we’d be drilling for oil tomorrow.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
