Conservative PAC Leader Blasts Ohio's 'Ultra-Liberal' Senator-Elect

(AgapePress) - - An Ohio pro-family activist says it is really a shame that the state of Ohio is once again sending another extreme liberal senator to Washington. Democrat Sherrod Brown defeated incumbent Republican Mike DeWine in one of the high-profile Senate races yesterday. Phil Burress of the Citizens for Community Values Action Political Action Committee (CCV Action PAC) says DeWine's defeat was somewhat understandable. That is because, outside of being pro-life, the defeated senator did not support many key pro-family issues, the Ohio activist observes.
But as bad as DeWine's record was, Sherrod Brown will be much worse, Burress contends. He says there is no question that things will be "quite a bit more serious with Sherrod Brown going up there for six years."
After all, Burress points out, for decades Ohioans had Democrat senators Howard Metzenbaum and John Glenn representing them. Brown is in the same vein as these two "ultra-liberal senators," the CCV Action PAC spokesman says, "and it's really a shame that we're going to have to go through this again."
Still, even though Ohio elected both a Democrat governor and senator, Burress does not believe the Democratic Party will necessarily have an easy time pushing its agenda through the legislature. "I guarantee you it'll be another heated debate," he says, "because the Democrats don't have a solution to any of the problems that we have in this country today."
