Ralston: Heck Opponent Not Too Bright

How bad of a liberal politician do you have to be when Jon Ralston of the Las Vegas Sun and Face To Face rips on you this early on in the election cycle.
From Ralston the Las Vegas Sun:  The inescapable conclusion after congressional candidate JohnOceguera’s performance on television this week is either he believes innothing or is scared of everything.
Or both.
Either way, if there are any Democrats who can defend hisspectacularly evasive and all-too-revealing appearances on “Face toFace” and “The Agenda,” they should be ashamed of themselves.Oceguera’s refusal to take positions on seminal Democratic initiativessuch as health care reform and the stimulus are emblematic of a partywhose candidates hope to win by hiding their core beliefs or havedecided to discard them — at least temporarily.
This is as sad as it is pathetic, watching a major political partysurrender its principles to expediency, putting winning above standingfor what it believed only a few short years ago and then wondering whythe public won’t be eager to follow if its leaders win and miraculouslyrediscover their beliefs.
ceguera is the absurd personification of this phenomenon as he gave arguably one of the worst, most vacuous performances in “Face to Face” history Monday and followed up with a nearly identical encore on “The Agenda”on Tuesday. He could not/would not answer a single question on subjectshe should, by now, know inside and out, instead reverting to hollowtalking points that a Democratic National Committee boiler-roomteenager could have provided.

 Further:
Oceguera again refused to take a position, telling me, “You can goback and rehash the 2010 elections if you want,” something I haveneither the desire nor the temperament to do and which did not haveanything to do with my question.
Would you have voted for it? I gamely asked the speaker.
“I’m going to look forward,” he replied.
At that point, I was looking forward, too. To a commercial break. Or a stiff drink. Or a 16-ton weight falling on my head....
I walked off the set trying to remember when a politician running foran important office — not to mention one of the critical swingcongressional districts in the country — had so cogently made this casefor his opponent. I remembered that this was a man who held thehighest-ranking legislative position, and I didn’t ask him about anytopic that should have surprised him. And then I had the mostfrightening thought of all: Maybe saying nothing is his campaign platform.
It sounds like that Oceguera feels that since he was going to interview with Ralston, Oceguera was going to throw him softball questions, like they do at the Las Vegas Sun, but Ocegurea was mistaken.  Ocegurea also feels he in entitled elected to the U.S. House and so he really isn't trying that much.
Just another reason to vote for Rep. Dr. Joe Heck who has done a great job in the House.
