Connecticut governor questions GOP's patriotism

Posted by
CNN Political Reporter Peter Hamby	

Williamsburg, Virginia (CNN) - Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy, a Democrat, 
questioned the patriotism of Republicans on Friday, saying their sole 
mission is to defeat President Barack Obama instead of passing 
meaningful legislation.

"To be a Republican today, you have to deny reality and embrace a 
message that has no other purpose than to elect their candidate as 
President of the United States," Malloy said at a press conference with 
other Democratic governors in Williamsburg, the site of the National 
Governors Association annual meeting.

As proof, Malloy cited the GOP's inability to develop a coherent 
alternative to the president's health care reform law.

"They know what they're against, but they can't tell you what they're 
for," he said.

Malloy called the situation "surreal."

"In other times taking those positions would be described as 
unpatriotic, but our politics have become so distorted that to be 
against a jobs bill is a good thing, and to be against health reform is 
a good thing," he said.
