Letter; Ruben should save venom for Republicans
I am new to the County and was leaning toward voting for Sen. Rubin until I read the scurrilous brochure that came to my home yesterday from her campaign. No matter whether one supports all his positions, Mr. Raskin has worked hard for the Democratic Party. As someone who spent 10 years working for an organization at the forefront of the pro-choice movement (the Guttmacher Institute) I know Jamie is staunch in his pro-choice stance. Frankly, the brochure’s gross distortions offend me and insult my intelligence. Before moving to Silver Spring, I lived in New Jersey, where vicious campaigns are the norm. I was hoping for better here. Even in NJ the venom was usually reserved for the opposing Party.
I guess since Republicans in Montgomery County are weak minority party, I guess insecure Democrats like Ms. Rubin feel it is OK to go after fellow Democrats.
