O’Malley blasts Ehrlich’s “fairy tales”
(My latest for WYPR, linked here. – TL)
COLUMBIA & TOWSON, MD (wypr) – Gov. Martin O’Malley says he has a problem with the “fairytales” former Gov. Robert Ehrlich has been telling. Before a cheering crowd of supporters in Columbia Wednesday afternoon, the governor shot down some of the fallacies he says his opponent has been spreading.
“His campaign is based on a number of fairy tales. That might be believed when he’s on right-wing radio. But it doesn’t stand up to the facts, it doesn’t stand up to the truth of the matter. And I’m looking forward to having this conversation directly with him whenever he’s up to it.”
The rhetoric may be new, but the political hits are the same in this race as when the governors first ran against each other four years ago.
Ehrlich claims that O’Malley will raise taxes and kill business in Maryland. O’Malley, in effect, calls Ehrlich a right-wing demagogue, who is incapable of governing.
