Republican Lying and Whining

Republicans are lying and swiftboating their opponents and then turn around and whine that anyone would have the gall to criticize them. Whereas Perdue's ads point out McCrory's extremist views on cultural and deficit exploding issues such as vouchers for rich people to send their kids to private religious schools with my tax dollars, McCrory and his cronies are running the stupid, inane "status quo" ads that are based on a few things taken out of context and an incredibly immature ad aimed presumably at Republican dittohead lemmings who can't think for themselves. In any event, at least stop whining about it. "The Difference, Is Hypocrisy."

It is not whining. You have your Beverly talking about positive ads and her campaign is running misleading negative ads. McCrory is only pointing out that we need to move past negative ads and focus on issues that are impacting education, jobs and crime. Hypocrisy is Perdue! Let's get them both to eliminate all the 30 second sound bites and agree to do a series of debates across the state.

Since you are uninformed concerning campaign finance laws i will inform you. He is not allowed to communicate with 3rd party groups about content or where and when it will be broadcast.

I can use the same tact you use against Obama, Hagan, Miller , and Blue. But since I believe that 3rd party ads are unfair i will not. But I can bring up Perdue's campaign illicit activities concerning the State Ethics Commission and her receiving numerous campaign contributions she has had to return.

I just saw a McCrory ad that whines about negative ads. This from the candidate who is benefitting from the inane and deceptive "status quo" swiftboat style ads against Perdue. "The Difference, Is Hypocrisy." If he doesn't like negative ads, then he should stop running them or benefitting from negative ads by his surrogates.

Can you please note that this is a Democratic polling consultant company just like when you note that Civitas is a conservative think tank.
