WAMD Radio – Is Patrick McGrady A Prevaricator When He Denies Any Connection With Alleged Robo-Calls Denigrating Mayor Bennetts Military Record?
November 8, 2011
McGrady2010Tactics EhrichDeniedRoboCallWAMD-Radion, The Morning Show, November 7,2011.
In an interview on WAMD radio,Maynard Edwards asked Patrick McGrady: “The Mayor said that several people said that you were sending out robo-calls disputing his military record and things of that nature–would you like to address that?” Patrick McGrady,Republican Tea Party candidate for Aberdeen Mayor, responded by stating ,”I would never ever dispute Mayor Bennetts military service record. I would never. I have not…I had nothing to do with any calls that might have gone out. And I condem them…I was not aware until the Mayor said something to me during the break. Thats absolutely horrendous. Micahel Bennett has a long history of service…I would never ever contest his service record.”
Negative robo-calls are a regular Republican tactic used during the lasts days of a campaign that is desperately behind. Republican Bob Ehrlich ‘s campaign for governor in 2010, used a last minute negative robo-call that attempted to suppress the black vote in Maryland. The campaign denied having anything to do with the robo-calls and said they did not know who was responsible. They also said :”We condemn the calls”. The robo-calls were later found to have been paid for by Ehrlich campaign funds and Ehrlich was dubbed “The King of Denials”.
Does Patrick McGrady belong on the Wall of Political Liars? He ended his campaign for The House of Delegates last year with a blitz of devious and deceptive campaign mailers.And the rest of McGradys past behavior is based on deception. Earlier in the year he lied about the Congressional redistricting maps, he also lied about the Aberdeen Councils reaction to the increase in bridge tolls ,he recently lied about the first ammednment of the Constitution during his YouTube Moment, and last week he lied to the journalists at AberdenPatch about his friendly relationship with the cuurent Aberdeen Council. It is all about trust.

MBRG – Libertarian Republicans On Steroids
July 3, 2011

The MBRG (Maryland Business for Right-Wing Government) is often defined as “A State business advocacy group with a bipartisan mission.” That doesnt quite describe MBRG. They are actually a very Libertarian Republican business group that is essentially anti-worker protection , anti-consumer protection and anti-environmental protection. Every year they rate Maryland state legislators based on a dozen or more legislative bills, and every year the far-right Republicans get 100% ratings and the progressive Democrats get zero or near zero ratings. Its a sophisticated political joke.
This year Harfords Sen. Nancy Jacobs (R-Dist34) even brags about her ridiculous annual MBRG rating of 100% by e-mailing it to the Dodgy Dagger . It’s as if she’s jumping up any down yelling “I voted against worker, consumer and environmental protection! Yahoo!.” Of course Sen. Jacobs doesn’t elaborate on how she voted to get her 100% score. And of course the Dodgy Dagger and the Aegis/Sun don’t elaborate or examine the matter . Knowlege is dangerous. The Suzanne Collins public relations job just tells us she got a 100%. Wow! Sounds cool! A good indication of how Jacobs got the high economic-libertarian score is the annual Maryland League of Conservation Voters (MLCV) legislative scorecard where once again she has made the top ten worst enviornmental legislators in Annapolis with a 20% score. [Religious right/Know Nothing Del. Glenn Glass (R-Dist34B) and Right-Wing Tea Party Del. Rick Impalliria (R-Dist.7) also representing Harford joined her in the Top 10 Worst circle . ]
Another indication of what the MBRG score really means, is to compare her voting record with the the legislation advocated by the Maryland Public Interest Group (MaryPIRG) ,which works for environmental, energy, consumer,tax, and open government reform. MaryPirg worked for one bill this year that seemed above suspicion by most observers, the Job Application Fairness Act,SB 132. The bill makes it illegal as of July 1, 2011 for most businesses to use credit information as part of the job application procedure in Maryland. Sounds like a good idea for the average citizen. But MBRG was against it. And Jacobs along with all Harford County Republicans voted against it. The Republicans and the MBRG seem to be saying, to hell with the fairness rights of Maryland citizens seeking employment.Republicans making the hard times, even harder.
The MBRG’s annual Roll-Call scorecard is a libertarian-Republican joke on the average voter. Its used by Republicans to raise corporate money for re-election while not bragging too much about the specifics that might offend even some Republicans. And the annual lack of analysis of MBRGs scorecard scam from the local and state media keeps the average voter in the dark about what its really all about. So, it goes.
