I was moved to write to the local paper recently when the Republican candidate in our newly-redrawn congressional district started painting herself as bipartisan and bringing people together, when in fact, she has been as partisan as anyone when she was in the state legislature. Now she has unleashed an attack ad on her opponent. Originally from Indiana, he now runs a small business to assist veterans in Washington D.C., and is now moving back to Indiana. He does not hold a government job, but he is a "Washington insider." She criticizes him for "liking Washington so much he owns three homes there." She fails to mention these are investment properties which he rents out.<br /><br />Enough already with the lying!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461006644312781883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343122535318547716.post-43455521567835970372012-09-04T07:03:17.770-07:002012-09-04T07:03:17.770-07:00Unfortunately, what you've written above is ex...Unfortunately, what you've written above is exactly why I just don't pay much attention to political arguments. They are nothing more than longer political advertisements, meant for attack, not illumination. It's sad when most speeches need a follow-up news article to "fact check" what was said.<br /><br />Political reporting must be a frustrating exercise.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14379632263749879058noreply@blogger.com
