He's a Democrate but you cannot tell from this add

This guy called the President a SOB
He also said that he disagreed with IRAQ

Now I know he served, thats great, thanks for doing so, but don't hide behind a president you don't like.

Whay can't they just run as who they are, Tell the peolple who you are and let the chips fall.

Nah this is the guy in Ohio running for Congress.

He knows he cant get elected on his views in a largely republican county, so he doesnt divulge his views in his campaign ads.

Well, I know this is just a huge leap of logic, but you could simply check out his web site. It did take me all of three seconds to find it with a Google search, and another twenty seconds to locate and read his position on the war in Iraq.

He could be full of ****, but he seems like a nice departure from blindly playing follow the leader like a mindless drone.

Thank God i live in MN.

I thank this guy for fighting in Iraq, but it doesnt matter if you like Bush or not, calling him an SOB in public is kind of messed up, but thats just me

The district is 70% Republican. The consensus prior to tonight was that if he came within 15 points he woulda still had a great night. This is unreal. Obviously it could go either way, but it's a great result for Hackett no matter what happens.

That is kind of messed up, and I don't appreciate the comparison. Bush is actually a worthless ****, not an SOB.

Over half of the Democrats that hold office in my county have switched parties. Many after they just won election. I consider this a slap in the face to the voters that put them in office.

Of course I should realise they are true politicians and don't give a rat's arse about the people that vote for them. All they are interested in is holding office and not having a real job.

an 'honest' politician is one that stays 'bought'. Sadly 'successful' politicans are ones that know how to 're-negotiate' their consituent contracts when the tide comes in. And every time the tide comes in.

Local politics are where YOUR vote REALLY counts.. and boy I've seen some real hum-dingers out there... real catfights some times too.

Our tax collector race was one of those. The incumbant (D) versus 2 members of her staff. One ran as a Dem and the other as Rep.

Vote was split 3 ways pretty even, but the Dem challenger edged out a win then promptly switched parties.
