Democrats answer DeWine ad
Days after Sen. Mike DeWine launched the first negative ad of Ohio’s senate race, the Ohio Democratic Party unveiled today a 30-second response ad coupled with a $470,000 ad buy that will put it on every station and show that DeWine’s ad is running on.
The new ad criticizes DeWine for using images of the burning World Trade Center and mug shots of the 19 hijackers in his ad, and attempts to explain Rep. Sherrod Brown’s record.
"It's sad: Mike DeWine exploiting images of 9/11 to smear Sherrod Brown," the announcer in the ad says.
The ad also says DeWine "failed us" as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee for not stopping the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and for allowing President Bush to falsely claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
DeWine spokesman Brian Seitchik said the campaign stands by its ad, which comes just after Republicans lashed out at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for using images of flag-draped coffins of dead soldiers in a different ad. That ad has since been pulled.
Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern said the state party was in no way connected to the DCCC ad and declined to discuss the matter further.
Meanwhile, Ohio Republican Party Communications Director John McClelland e-mailed reporters an 11-page response to the Democratic response ad: "The Ohio Democratic Party has apparently joined Sherrod Brown way out in left field. Their new television ad, released today, stretches the facts (and some logic) about Brown’s positions on national security. Please review the attached document for a point-by-point fact check of the ad."
ORP Chairman Bob Bennett also chimed in on the ad: "The Democrats are trying to paint over a rusty bucket. Sherrod Brown can gloss over his pathetic record on national security, but the truth will eventually eat its way through. Brown has done more to leave our country vulnerable to terrorism than nearly anyone in the U.S. House. Anyone who looks at his record on national security knows it’s toxic, even his fellow Democrats."
DeWine and Brown will face off for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat at the polls on Nov. 7.

Post a Comment*Did Bob Bennett explain how he has a record of unlawfully deceiving and misleading voters in Hamilton county with his paid for advertisements for municipal judicial candidates ??
Did the fishwrap report about the unlawful, deceiving and misleading judicial advertisements ? (ask Sharon, Korte).
No one can trust the culture of corruption wRong wing nuts. They will do anything to suppress the truth including attempting to use a republican controlled courthouse to suppress free and truthful speech:
HCRP.info
over 2000 soldiers have been killed in iraq. we are in a no out war where thousands upon thousands have been mamed. we have taunted terrorists around the world to attack the western culture - now evident in israel - through our bravado and stupid cowboy comments. we have lost our reputation as a world leader and our international policy is viewed as a joke.we have korea calling our bluff and nuclear prolifin(sic) spreading to unstable countrieswho area part of the axis of evil- snickering openly atour country. our right wing courts have condemned our human rights policies regarding uncharged detainees who have sat without the judgment of our nation. we have good men being tortured and beheaded with no recourse, no response and little hope
AND WHO THE HELL HAS HARMED OUR NATIONAL SECURITY!!!!!???????
brown should stand behind every darn vote he has cast and do so proudly. cowboy, guns blazin' antics have put this nation in deep trouble - we need people who will refuse to vote in favor of this kind of crappola regardless of being labeled "unpatriotic" until someone thinks about the repercussions.
"cowboy, guns blazin' antics have put this nation in deep trouble"
I don't recall the force used by Pres. Clinton that incited terrorists to bomb our warships, embassies, and the World Trade towers--not once, but twice (Bush had been in office less than a year, and had commanded no military assaults at the time)!
Before copying rhetoric from the DNC, please stop and think for yourself and see if you can back up your statements with facts, rather than emotion. Otherwise, people like yourself will have this nation "peacefully" turning itself over to Islamic Fascists saying "we may not be free, but at least no one had to die"--until, of course, the new dictatorship regime starts killing and raping the citizens it owns at will.
AND WHO THE HELL HAS HARMED OUR NATIONAL SECURITY!!!!!???????
It is the culture of corruption wRong wingnut wackos.
It is the wRong wing wacko fishwrap embracing the elephant dung.
It is extremist who love their party more than their country. They are willing to click their heals and follow a cokehead misleader.
Those who call citizens traitor for fighting for our freedoms are enemies of the state, period. They are the traitors, willing to sacrifice freedom for an illusion of security.
Our freedoms have been stripped and our country has not exposed or caught one major terrorist ring.
Billions, Billions spent to chase a small band of radicals as our children remain hungry and lack competitive education.
Somewhere there must be a cost benefit analyses. I'm willing to sacrifice another 3,600 twin tower lives to restore my freedoms. We lost 50,000 in one civil war battle to gain freedom, equallity. I'm willing to be the first to lay down my life in exchange for all Americans to be able to talk freely, openly, and in private.
I have looked in the mirror and the enemy is our own government !!!
THIS JUST OUT !!
wRong wing wackos on their way to being sold down the river !!
Ralph Reed became the first political casualty of Jack Abramoff's lobbying scandals yesterday. Voters in the Georgia Republican primary passed judgment that they did not want someone who put political money before morals.
Together, we played a leading role in educating voters about Reed’s connections to the Washington scandals, and we ought to be proud today that our work paid off. In the critical final period leading to the primary election, we:
Ran a hard-hitting radio ad calling Reed out for his hypocrisy for calling gambling "a cancer," then taking millions in lobbying fees from tribal gambling interests.
Aired a television ad in the last days of the campaign that used Reed's own words to expose the work he did to oppose legislation that would have protected women workers on the Northern Marianas Islands from exploitation by their employers.
Delivered approximately 200,000 recorded phone messages to targeted Republican voters highlighting themes similar to those of our paid advertising.
Reed was supposed to waltz through this primary on his way to the Lieutenant Governor post, but our collective efforts ensured he couldn't escape his pay-to-play past. The generous support of our members made this effort possible.
We will build from this success in holding a politician accountable for pay-to-play politics. In the coming weeks, we will roll out an ambitious plan to take our voter education effort to many of the most hotly-contested congressional races in the country. We'll talk about where candidates stand on the Voters First Pledge, and what favors they've done for political contributors.
As I'm quoted saying in this morning's New York Times, "It’s clear that politicians that put money before their morals should be very worried by these results." They may be worried this morning, but I think you'd agree that far too few will change their ways without significant pressure from people like us.
Today, we thank you for making our work possible and for fighting alongside us to show that concerned citizens can hold politicians accountable for their actions. There's much work to do, and we should feel emboldened by these results to do it.
Thank you,
David Donnelly
Director

Why haven't you posted this morning's Enquirer report that Dale Mallory, candidate for State Rep., will be investigated by the FBI? And why in the world haven't the Dem's pressured him to drop out of the race?!
Many people questioned his qualifications to begin with, and he received less than 50% of the vote in the Democratic primary despite running in a district that was represented by his brother and father. Are the Dem's really so desperate that Dale Mallory is their best candidate?! What a disgrace!
Has the Enquirer talked to Tim Burke? Is there any thought to replacing Dale?

thanks - first time i have been insulted on a blog. i guess now i'm really a part of the club.
darlin' , it's called diplomacy - an eye for an eye only makes all of us blind.
but this administration and the republican party poked out the eye of the wrong guy - if you think about this, husseim may have been our biggest ally in the middle east against terrorists ( and possibly brought him into a more democratic fold). i know how nuts that sounds, but what's the old saying, keep your friends close and your enemies closer? sadam would never have allowed the insurgence in his country, giving them a platform for their attacks and media attention, a field to train and a civil war from which to gain numbers and "official" power.
our strategey ( did we really have one) was crappola and has elevated the status of terrorists and created the growth in the insurgency.
are you truly the only person in this country who honestly thinks going into iraq was a good move? what has this country gained? are we safer or bigger targets? are democracies around the world now under greater threat from these religious zealots on a mission ( oh yea, they took that play from the republican elections -preying upon the praying)....
by the way, i am a long time registered republican from the west side who used to volunteer for the party and am disenfranchised with the party and its abandoning my catholic, religious doctrine and beliefs.
what did bush say... fool me once...( da, umm, da) ....I won't be fooled again. (forget the abortion issue (it's not up to legislators anymore it is inthe hands of the supreme court), burn the flag but not my newspapers, share the wealth and let god judge moral values of gays, not man [we're really not qualified to do his work])
i will vote democrat across the board and get these corrupt liars out of office.
Listen to someone who knows:
A Real Leader
Wow, that was a great interview. Everyone should listen to it. I highly recommend it.
Do your research. Clinton didn't have to invade other countries because he used diplomacy and our economy was strong. When Bill did misfire in trying to smoke Osama out of his tent, you probably don't remember Congress and the lazy media cared more about Monicagate while accusing Bill of using the desert attack as a distraction......
Freedom on the March? Mission Accomplished? How come the Texan who thinks you'll are addicted to oil can't control gas prices? Or, maybe he doesn't WANT to....
