KS Senate: Democrat Jim Slattery Debunks Lies Of Republican Incumbent
By Logan Murphy Tuesday Jul 29, 2008 5:00pm
Remember this ridiculous ad from John McCain that attempts to blame Barack Obama for high gas prices? Well, the same tactic is being used against Democrat Jim Slattery by one very nervous Republican Senator from Kansas, Pat Roberts. Roberts (a good buddy of indicted GOP Senator Ted Stevens) broke his pledge to run a positive campaign, and has resorted to nothing but negative ads full of distortions and outright lies -- he even has the gall to link Slattery to current high gas prices, a sure sign of desperation. Julie Merz from the Slattery campaign cuts through the spin:
When you are in Washington D.C. for forty years, you develop bad habits. You start to think there is only one way to compete in a close election - and that is to personally attack your opponent with t.v. ads full of half-truths and misleading statements. Is it really that hard to run on your ideas for the future? Or stand by the votes you've been casting and explain them to voters? Apparently Pat Roberts believes his record is so indefensible that his only option is to attack Jim Slattery.
Fact: Pat Roberts has accepted over $300,000 from Big Oil companies to fund his campaign and voted for tax breaks for those same companies. Kansans pay for that at the pump.
In his latest ad, Roberts uses some creative language to suggest Jim Slattery had something to do with the Big Oil lobby in D.C. This, despite the fact Jim released a list of his lobbying clients long ago and big oil is not on the list. Jim's lobbying and legal work was largely focused on assisting Kansas City and Midwestern companies compete in the global economy. End of story. Read on...

not frist!
that's right! keep fighting back!
Is this a DNC pushback? they don't get enough credit.
in your face!
I like his Balls. I hope Colbert recognizes this ad.
its like getting dumped on over and over and over over and over
"Apparently Pat Roberts believes his record is so indefensible that his only option is to attack Jim Slattery."
Substitute Roberts for McSame and Slattery for Obama and there you go. The same M.O.
Jail Rove NOW!
Speaking of that slime Roberts, whatever happened to his phase 2 report about 9-11? You know, the part about WHO was responsible?
Send this to Obama. This is the ONLY way to fight republicans. 10% defense, 90% offense to any smear. And the offense isn't "gosh, that's so negative, let's be nice to each other", it's "gosh, the lying scumbag is revealing a character problem again".
Obama might already know this. Gore and Kerry didn't.
Make the voters think "there they go again" at the next republican smear, and there will always be a next one.
Is the Slattery rebuttal a TV ad? If not, it sure should be......I'll contribute if that's the case.
Roberts: hoist with his own oily petard. Just like Stevens.
Let us celebrate the come-uppence and dead reckoning due to GOP folks like Internet-Tubes Ted and Oil-Ho Roberts. A toast!
Fingerpointing, suggestions, voting, etc. All of these have worked, oh so well, so far. Right?
In the mean time, while we do all the above, the NWO is still on plan, on track, and on schedule, to totally collapse the entire American economy. They are distracting us with such pure ease. Those who have the power to stop it are doing nothing. The few in high places or in the know are telling us something really big is going to happen very soon. Normally, I'd take what they say with a grain of salt, but these are not anywhere near normal times.
Look at our food supplies. Look at our energy prices. Look at all our financial systems failing. Look at the severe transfer of wealth. Look at our typical health problems, lack of medical care. Look at our job problems. Look at our borders. Look at our infrastructure. Look at the investments being made elsewhere. Look at the gold\precious metals hoarding. Look at corporations, retired ceo's, politicians going elsewhere after retirement. Look at the number of FEMA camps. Look at the 600,000+ FEMA coffins stacked up in georgia. Look at the elaborate underground cities that exist. Look at the nose thumbing to the laws by lawmakers. Look at the number of laws being broken, the Constitution. Look at the hearings they have, repeatedly, discussing "if" the blatently wrongfull should be punnished, or anything at all, should be done about it. Look at the rights we lost. Look how close and simple it is to declare marshall law. Look how close we are to world war III. Had enough facts? I have.
Ron Paul, for one, keeps saying, something really, really big is comming soon.
In magicians circles, it's called distraction. Watch the left hand while the right hand is doing something. So simple, yet so very, very effective.
Keep the suggestions comming. Is it really working, while their plans are being carried out, totally unimpended, on schedule? We suggest, they act.
Kansas is full of dumbasses who love Roberts.
Meh, Octavian would have punked every GOP operative since 1856 beyond all reason anyhow. Or Sulla. Especially Sulla. You guys blow these clowns way out of proportion. They're fools. They're worse than the Nazis, who failed to get 50% of the vote with intimidation that was worse than anything Mugabe's done. Go ahead, you guys like fractual, who think there's some sort of "NWO", go right ahead. In the meantime, the clowns in office will have already looted everything and the world will keep spinning with the US entering Stagflation Mk. 2. There's no "NWO" except the one in the WWE. The GOP is full of asshats that become legends in their own minds, and somehow some people believe them. Considering the GOP has no chance in Hell here, I question the wisdom of those who expect them to somehow magic competence they never had.
All I can say is I hope the Dem candidate is not another Dim-bulbed Dem who wants to "take the high road", and end up losing.
You have to go on the attack against the Repubs.
Otay @ 13:
Do the Dems have anybody willing to throw that much shit?
Are any of the facts that fractual stated incorrect? Please, make him wrong.
Can McCain become president? Easily.
As easily as:
Private bankers controlling everything, from directly inside the government, unchecked.
A republican who removed who the gold standard of money before he resigned in disgrace, after being caught red handed breaking the law.
A republican who came into power after a lone uneducated man who was not a marksman in any shape or form, who had ties with the CIA,, pulled off what profesional marksman called shear perfection. With a cheap mail order gun, with a cheap junk scope.
A lone, dillusional nut, who killed a presidential, well loved, hopefull, with a cheap gun that shot more shots than it can physically hold.
A lone uneducated confused nut, with a cheap pistol, almost put GHWB, the NWO mover, in power ahead of schedule. CIA ties to the gunman. Mear rumors.
A few uneducated, free pass to roam wherever they wanted, party-hardy guys, with "do not go to jail" passes, totally "turn your heads the other away" passes, from the CIA, who haven't got a clue how to fly a Cessena, took over multiple, multi-jetted engine huge commercial planes simultaniously, with cheap simple boxcutters and executed manuvers professional pilots say were out of this world diffucult for even them. They made a wishfull dreamer republican son, of a NWO mover, into the dictator he wished for.
What are the Bilderbergers? What is PNAC? What is NAFTA? What is the CFR? Skull and Bones? Etc. Are any of those members in any way serving inside the government right now, with any power? Did they repeatedly bring up the preposition or refer to the NWO on public media (they own)?
It's all just sheer, bad coincidence. What exactly has changed since gwb was "voted" in twice?
bill @ 15:
No, what it is is ill-disguised bullshit that should be buried in the past with all the other nonsense. NWO conspiracies are bullshit, and seeing a secret hand of societies controlling the world distinguishes you from 19th-Century Know Nothings and 20th Century Nazis, how exactly? What exactly would be gained from a NWO? How would a global unification come into being exactly? What government is going to manage affairs of rich businessmen in the first world and poor-as-sin !Kung tribesmen in the Sahara? The International Conspiracy of the Elders of Zion? You're a troll from the militia movement. Get the hell out.
This speech was given on national tv, by the President of the United States.
You saying that was pure "bullshit" comming directly from the mouth of the most powerfull man on the planet? Sleep well.

larry @ 17:
The period after the fall of the USSR and the end of the Cold War is a New World Order, the removal of the Soviets created a power vacuum that dramatically changed everything. If you can't see that, read a damn history book. Oh, wait, you probably think books are a tool of Satan, dontcha bub?
What is martial law? How easily can it be declared, right now? What happens under martial law?
Where is the record vacuum of debt? On to whom is that record debt placed? The World Bank? Whose bailing out the the consistintly corrupt corporations? Read the damn books and news! (talking at your level so you can understand).
You probably think the Federal Reserve System and the Bilderbergs are looking out for us. Dontcha?
What exactly is the net worth of the Rothchilds and their World Bank, who are the FED today?
Is it in any of the books? Can that be found anywhere?
Name calling suits you. By all means, keep it up. It's so NWO. Nite, nite!
Just about no one here gives a fuck about Kansas.
The only time they say it's name is to scorn the state and all who live in it.
.
I feel so sad for that G.roup O.f P.oliticians known as CONgress, 'bout now. They're loosing players right and left in this dirty game of governance. They never can manage to keep their noses or rears clean...
.
I would title this as , "A sign of hope for Kansas".
Kansans, grab a hold and don't let go !
Standard s.o.p. for Republicans ... when you have absolutely nothing genuine to run your campaign on you resort to lies.
The biggest problem for Kansas is that they sit in the middle of the "Bible Belt". They are good, hard working people primarily associated with agriculture and strongly connected to their faith. The unfortunate part of this picture is that they are directed by their churches who they should vote for. More recently, as a result of the economy today, they are beginning to more readily judge for themselves. There is definitely hope for Kansas and perhaps Mr. Slattery will be their stepping stone.
