Republican Voinovich to Be Target of Ad Campaign Over Bolton

Move America Forward to Begin Ad Campaign in Ohio Beginning Thursday

(SACRAMENTO) – The organization strongly backing the nomination of John Bolton to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org), expressed outrage today that a Republican United States Senator would refuse to vote to confirm the President’s nominee in committee. As a result, Ohio U.S. Senator George Voinovich will be the target of radio ads criticizing Senator Voinovich for his obstructionist conduct in today’s Bolton confirmation hearings.

“Shame on Senator Voinovich. President Bush nominated a terrific man to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations in John Bolton. Senator Voinovich indicated he was absent from the Bolton confirmation hearings, which explains his ignorance of Mr. Bolton’s qualifications to serve as a voice for America’s interests at the United Nations,” said Melanie Morgan, Co-Chair of Move America Forward.

“Senator Voinovich is in effect serving as an agent of the obstructionist Senators who have already smeared Bush appointees Condoleeza Rice (Secretary of State) and Alberto Gonzales (Attorney General). He has now empowered Democrat opponents of Bolton to conduct a fishing expedition to dig up every unsubstantiated charge against him as they frantically work to embarrass President Bush by once again smearing another one of his nominees,” Morgan said.

Move America Forward has already aired television commercials supporting Bolton’s nomination on national television networks.

“We are going to put our resources into putting the heat on Senator Voinovich until he sees the light. Standing up for American interests at the UN is urgent, and further delays only aid those who merrily wear the ‘Blame America First’ label,” said Morgan.

In addition to the ad campaign, Move America Forward has also put out an alert to its 200,000+ members to contact Senator Voinovich’s office via email, phone and FAX to register their outrage for his actions today.

A copy of the ad targeting Senator Voinovich will soon be uploaded to Move America Forward's website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org

Voinovich needs better "interpersonal skills" and some
wall to wall counseling.

Voinovich "didn't have time" to attend the committee meetings and let himself be swayed by the demorats.

Luger needs to take control and run the committee - he to easily let the demorats dominate.

I just called his office, told the lady on the phone 'to thank the Senator for voting against those repukes'. She sounded stunned. I followed up by saying 'we need more senators like him to vote against those repuke fascists'.

She hung up.

More than one way to get your point across.

Yes. He should be thoroughly punished for doing what he thinks he should do instead of what he is instructed to do.

Yeah you should have heard our Board Members today - they were just out of their minds. They made John Bolton's temperment look calm :)

Watching Voinovich open the door and then Chafee and Hagel gleefully follow with "OK, we don't have to vote to confirm this guy now, right?" just made them furious/disgusted/embarassed to be Republicans.

My Mom lives in Ohio so I just sent the traitor a webform email on behalf of her. She is cracking up laughing at what I had to say -- she cannot stand him and thinks Voinivich is only slightly better then a Dem since he cannot be counted on -- traitor if you ask me.

Lugar needs to find another job instead of being Chairman he is so lame!

Yep, he should be embarrassed for playing into the hands of the "Smear the Republican Nominee" train.

Let's see... there was Clarence Thomas, Robert Bork, Negroponte, Rice, Gonzales, Judge Janice Brown.

I know I've left some off. It's embarassing to see people as clueless as the likes of Voinovich fall for the same tricks from the likes of the Boxer's, Biden's, Kerry's over and over.

Well we know Voinovich can't stand Bush for supporting tax cuts. Now we know Voinovich can't stand Bush for standing up to the UN

Voinovich sure takes issues with Bush for odd reasons from a Republican standpoint.

Laughable comment.

He should be thoroughly punished for his self serving, back stabbing, drama queen approach to the Bolton nomination. No pork for George, nothing for George. A man who betrays his friends for self aggrandisement and a cheap 5 minutes deserves nothing but opprobium.

Well, I don't feel comfortable voting again for George Voinovich then.

This is unbelievable! Frist needs to be replaced! How could he let that happen? His presidential aspirations are getting in the way of supporting this president. The Republicans need a pit bull for Senate Majority Leader. Someone that will instill fear and discipline into their own party! I want someone leading the Senate Republicans that would not only yank Voinovich off every committee, but take away his parking spot and cancel his library card.

He should have told Lugar BEFORE he stabbed Bush and the committee in the back. There is no way around that.

He was UNLOYAL to a president who campaigned for him.

LOL! I have to say, I'm hard pressed to think of any worse job than answering the phones in a Senator's or Congressman's office. The amount of vitriol and plain old moonbattery they must have to deal with every day...
