This is rather shocking. Chabot is a staunch conservative, but this looks to be the reasons he is siding with Democrats:

But when foreclosures in his hometown of Cincinnati skyrocketed, Chabot found himself aligned with Democrats – and against his party’s leaders, his conservative colleagues and the White House.

I can say firsthand that foreclosures are skyrocketing here in the greater Cincinnati area. Part of my business involves photography of houses that are going on the market. We are starting to see a lot of these homes pop up. Yes it means more work for me, but you can’t help but feel bad for the people losing their homes.

I give Chabot credit for wanting to help the common man. Most conservatives won’t do that. Instead they choose to help big business.
