The Chicago Tribune headline on the internet was
Challengers for coroner in Lake and McHenry Counties question incumbents’ judgment
Charges fly in Lake, McHenry Counties
As one might expect McHenry County’s Democratic Party challenger Dave Bachmann said
“Republican Marlene Lantz was ‘out of touch’ and should have noticed a suspicious spike in deaths in 2006 at the former Woodstock Residence.”
Incumbent Republican Marlene Lantz replied that it was
“ridiculous to believe she should have noticed the death rate at a nursing home where most of the patients were terminally ill.
“‘No one contacted us to give us a heads-up to say there were any problems,’ she said. ‘If you look at the statistics for any nursing home, they go up and then the deaths go down for many reasons.'”
There’s an old saying about politicians running for office.
” If you don’t have anything to sell, you pick a fight. ”
Best case in point, Bachmann.
He has NOTHING to sell.
So he’s trying to pick a fight.
He’s shadow boxing with himself.
He claims to be over qualified, but has NOTHING to prove it.
Bachmann is Out of Touch.
Out of Touch with the truth, Out of Touch with reality.
By the way, the links to the original story in full at the Tribune are not working. Bachmann again takes out of context statements and gives them his own twists and turns.
