Bob Schaffer ducking the issues PDF Print E-mail

If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and bobs like a duck it's probably Bob (Schaffer) ducking?

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee DSCC recently produced a video called “The Disappearing Act,” available at BobSchafferontheIssues.com, depicting bobbing Bob Schaffer “ducking” the issues. “We could not have illustrated it better,” said Pat Waak, Chair Colorado Democratic Party.

“Bob has been ducking questions for 217 days now refusing to express views on anything that would tie him to the Bush Administration's failed policies. He can't bring himself to post issues on his web page and he ducks questions about expanding children's health care (SCHIP) and renewable energy,” said Waak. “You would think a career politician like Bob Schaffer who has held political jobs for most of the last thirty years would have an inkling about issues, but Bob Schaffer apparently doesn’t want Colorado voters to know what he stands for...or against.”

The Rocky Mountain News recently reported that Schaffer’s opposition has criticized him for not taking a stand on key issues. http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2007/dec/13/dems-attack-schaffer-on-web/ Schaffer has denied numerous requests and opportunities to state where he stands on the issues. He has refused to tell the people of Colorado his position on SCHIP, a Children’s Health Insurance Plan that has bipartisan support and has been vetoed twice by President Bush. “Do you support health insurance for Colorado’s Children or not?” asked Waak.

When asked if she had heard from Bob Schaffer lately Waak said, “not a quack.”
