Simmons Now Distorting His Record in Congress AND His Record on the Campaign
West Hartford, Conn. — Rob Simmons sent out a press release earlier today claiming he never supported leaving the public option “on the table,” but press accounts make it clear Simmons is yet again distorting his views.

Candidate Rob Simmons (October 2009) “An interesting story from the Republican primary in Connecticut, where the front-runner has flip-flopped on the public option…” (Michael Goldfarb, “Lieberman Shows The Way For Northeast Republicans,” Weekly Standard Blog, 10/28/09) “Former Rep. Rob Simmons (R-Conn.), who is considered the top challenger to Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), last week said the public option should be ‘on the table.’” (Jordan Fabian, “Dodd Challenger Simmons Says Public Option Should Be ‘On The Table,’” The Hill’s Briefing Room Blog, 10/27/09) |
