Dino Rossi (Republican candidate for Washington State Senator) started of with some downright bitchy ads about incumbent Senator Patty Murray consisting of a litany of outright lies about what she has and has not done during her term of office. That has been the thrust of Rossi's whole campaign.
Patty Murray started a clean campaign, stressing her accomplishments and outlining her plans for the future, but has been forced by Rossi's libels and slanders to defend herself. She has, indeed, been able to point out where Rossi is getting his funding and has also uncovered a number of fairly shady deals Rossi has been involved with in recent times.
I know Murray's record because I've watched her in action, I know where she stands on the issues, and I know what she's done for both the state and the country. Rossi has run in several campaigns, most recently for state governor (defeated, thank God, by Christine Gregoire), and he has always run slimy attack campaigns.
That's all he's got!
And I see the same pattern all over the country.
So as usual, BB is talking out of his nether orifice. Why am I not surprised?
