Deceptive Political Ad


Joe,

Have you seen the deceptive political flier that the Democratic party put out in support of Frank Kratovil?

I’m a “hard R” and not everyone received this, so I assume that the Dems mailed this to all of the “hard R’s” in the first congressional district.

While at first it looks like a negative piece, it is actually trying to get republicans to vote for the libertarian/tea party candidate for Congress. 

It uses phrases like “complete outside”, “too conservative” to describe the libertarian candidate.  Telling a “hard R” that a candidate would cut government spending and would drastically reduce the size of government, makes the candidate more appealing.

Frankly, my first reaction was “who the heck is Richard Davis” and then I saw he was running as libertarian for Congress on the sample ballot

Then, you look and see that the piece was paid for by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and you realize what they are trying to do.  They are hoping hard core Republicans and tea party supporters will vote for Davis instead of Andy Harris, thereby stealing votes away and giving the election to Frank Kratovil.

A vote for Davis is a vote for Kratovil and the Pelosi team!
Says who? Says the Democrats -- that's why they have mounted a massive slick advertising campaign publicizing Davis in their last-ditch, last-minute attempt to save Kratovil's candidacy.
The Kratovil false ad on taxes is now matched by this Democrat dirty trick.
Need more proof the Democrat elite think we voters are stupid??

Good points here John and anon 12:11. The Democrats are filthy, dirty thieves and will do anything to steal an election. We definitely need to do better so please vote Republican. Vote Andy Harris for Congress!!
