It's Halloween kiddies and lots of treats are in store for voters fed up with congressional tricksters. Today's scary story comes from the 12th congressional district of Ohio, where baby faced "family values" incumbent Pat Tiberi (R), is putting on his monster mask in an effort to scare voters away from his opponent David Robinson.

"I, Pat Tiberi, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.

Columbus Ohio residents were treated to yet more of the Columbus Dispatch Printing Company's 'fair and balanced' judgment; Pat Tiberi has gotten the local daily newspaper's endorsement for Congress.

Hopefully, the CD readers will remember their past 'judgment' of the printing company's endorsements, including George W. Bush for president in both 2000 and 2004 (when shortly before the 2004 election, even the Dispatch seemed to know better.) In the midst of this latest economic crisis, that presidential endorsement has shown where the loyalties of the Wolfe family media empire really LIE.

First, the fact that a local printing company's public information monopoly would find it within their responsibility to endorse a candidate rather than inform the population of where the candidates stand on the issues that affect them most, is discrediting to not only the endorsement, but the legitimacy of the newspaper itself.
