2010 Election -- Political Ads

[VandalSquirrel]

I don't have television, but I heard one ad on the radio that cracked me up. Our Republican candidate for Congress, Raul Labrador had this commercial that pretty much called our current guy Walt Minnick out on not keeping Obama and Nancy Pelosi in check while in DC. Although Minnick is a Democrat, he would be a Republican almost anywhere else and I find it hysterical that his first term in Congress replacing the guy who made breast cancer survivors march against him in Boise (Bill Sali, he's a graduate of Boise State University and Idaho Law), he's expected to bring down the Democrat majority and everything is all his fault.

He didn't vote for "Obama Care" he didn't vote for the Reinvestment Act, so I'm not sure why Mr. Labrador thinks Walt is BFFs with Pelosi. Neither of them really represent me or my beliefs, and frankly neither do the other two candidates so I really do get to pick the least evil.

I am kind of bummed though that I have local candidates personally coming to my house and leaving hand written notes and have missed them every single freaking time. I'd love to have gotten into it with certain peeps and since I am registered Independent everyone contacts me with all their propaganda.

SCORE! You can listen and watch some of the awesome right here http://www.labrador4idaho.com/video-gallery/

I saw a sign the requisite distance from the polls that said "Support Obama, Vote Minnick" and I think it was actually a sign by his opposition to play on people's dramadary issues with Obama and not look at a candidate as an individual but because the are listed as a Democrat. When he ran two years ago his campaigns materials included pictures of him holding a firearm and he started out his political career working for Richard Nixon. Not really someone who is attending wine tasting at Nancy Pelosi's vineyard or planning white water rafting trips with the Obamas.

Sharon Angle lost. That is all.
