Coats: North Carolina's 'a better place' than Indiana

[ccharles000]

Washington (CNN) – Democrats have been hounding former Sen. Dan Coats since he announced this week he will challenge Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Indiana, in this year's midterm election.

Coats served as U.S. ambassador to Germany in his post-Senate life, but he also worked as a lobbyist representing Wall Street banks, health insurance providers and pharmaceutical companies. Democrats also pointed out that Coats is actually registered to vote in Virginia, not the Hoosier state.

Now, hoping to paint Coats as even more out of touch with the people he hopes to represent, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is pushing a video in which Coats suggests he'd rather live in North Carolina than Indiana.

"If you don't tell the good people of Indiana, Marcia and I decided that there might be a better place where some of these older bones can absorb, so we have joined her parents in North Carolina," Coats says in the video, which was recorded during a speech he delivered to North Carolina delegates at the most recent Republican National Convention in St. Paul.

3. Of course, the people attacking Coats don't give a damn about Hoosiers

anymore than their boy Evan Bayh does. Coats is a whore for the banking industry, just as Bayh is a whore for the health insurance and Big Pharma. The only reason why we even have a Coats and a Bayh is because we vote for politicians like them.

Neither Coats nor Bayh are worth a damn, and there isn't a nickel difference between them.

BTW, to the morons running the DSCC: people in Indiana are referred to as Hoosiers, not Indianians. It is bad enough you only care about who will represent the ruling class, you don't have to add your incredible ignorance to the equation.
