The Dems and Sleazy Political Ads

The Donks are the Master of the Sleazy Political ad, and this story illustrates their low-life methodologies in politics.

DENVER -- Republicans are criticizing TV ads that show a look-alike of a Colorado congresswoman fleecing a corpse and an American soldier during battle.

In one of the ads, a pink-clad actress with a purse climbs over rubble to rob a U.S. soldier.

''Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave claims nobody supports our troops more than she does, but she voted to slash veterans' benefits by $14 billion,'' the narrator says. The new ad also says Musgrave voted against a $1,500 bonus for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. In another ad, the woman in pink creeps up to a corpse and takes off his watch. A voiceover says that while she served as a state senator, Musgrave opposed a bill that would have prevented nursing homes from billing patients after they are dead.

''I think they have reached a new low in sleaziness,'' Colorado GOP Chairman Ted Halaby said of the ads' sponsor, a group called Colorado Families First.

Musgrave faces Democratic challenger Stan Matsunaka in her bid for a second term.

Musgrave spokesman Guy Short said Monday that although Musgrave did vote against the $1,500 bonus, she supported a $2,700 pay raise for troops in combat zones. He said veterans' benefits also got a 15 percent increase.

Every time I think they can't get any lower, they prove me wrong. That is pretty sleazy, and a outright lie. Hopefully the voters are smart enough to recognize the Donk sleazology.
