Seems issue advocacy groups, long used by the GOP to push their adgenda and get around limits on campaign contributions, are suddenly bad. LOL Poor Conrad, crying foul, AGAIN,
that others are using methods the GOP put into play AND into law!
An advocacy group for the elderly in Montana, the Montana Legacy Fund, comes out with ads on their web site which point out Burns' votes to fuck benefits while claiming to be for the elderly. Burns is not happy. Hey, the man seems to have a real problem when the truth comes out. Maybe he will invite Cheney to Montana to shoot some messangers?
http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2006/02/21/breaker/doc43fa35a7641b9779122762.txt A voice-over demands that Burns "explain why you voted for cuts to Medicare and Medicaid - and you turn around and say you voted for Montana seniors?" The ad then urges viewers to "help him remember Montana comes first."
It is the second anti-Burns ad run by the Legacy Fund and only appears on the group's Web site. The group's treasurer, Nathan Goodman, said Sunday group members had no plans to take it to television yet.
Burns campaign spokesman Jason Klindt called the ad the work of "a shadowy third-party group engaging in scare tactics."
Last week, a group of Democrats and people who work for organizations helping older people criticized the cuts and urged Montana's congressional delegation to take steps to combat their effect. Burns and Rep. Denny Rehberg, also a Republican, voted for the plan. Sen. Max Baucus, a Democrat, voted against it.
Conrad, what have you got against voters being reminded of the things you have done in the
service of the good people of Montana, hmmm? Why does the flow or REAL information and verifiable facts about you trouble you so?
