The Guinta campaign is calling out the Shea-Porter campaign (I’ll call them Team Lenin), for continuing to run ads about her opponent that are not just fuzzy on the edges but outright distortions or lies. I’ve not seen the ads, a side effect of not watching television–which I highly recommend by the way–but I know Carol and I know Democrats. Carol’s record in office is wretched. Failed Stimuli, auto bailouts, Obama-care, debt, deficit spending, refusing to pass a budget in 2010 for political reasons–they wanted to spend even more and knew America would object, J Street money, voting with Pelosi 98% of the time, so I think I can take the Guinta campaign at their word.
Oh, and then there’s this…
Nashua Telegraph’s Politifact called Shea-Porter’s first ad where she lies about Frank Guinta’s record on veterans’ issues “a distortion” of his record. In Shea-Porter’s second ad, her claim that Frank Guinta would “end Medicare” was called the “lie of the year” by Factcheck.org.
Lie of the year. Nothing builds the confidence of the voting public than a politician who has been awarded ‘the lie of the year’ by an organization that leans left to begin with.
That’s pretty bad.
