NRCC dumps another $750,000 into WA-08

by — ,

Who’s afraid of Darcy Burner? The Republicans, that’s who.

Yesterday the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) dumped another $750,000 into Washington’s 8th Congressional District, almost all of it on TV ads attacking Burner. That brings the NRCC’s grand total to $2,346,233.72.

I sure hope the DCCC is prepared to respond in kind.

UPDATE:
A little birdy tells me that the DCCC has booked $700,000 in airtime over the final week of the campaign. Tit for tat.

    Evangelical preacher Ted Haggard (pictured) of Colorado Springs has found himself in a bit of a sticky situation. The virulently anti-gay head of the massive New Life Church allegedly had a three-year relationship with a male prostitute. Terrible, no?

    The problem with the tactic [of running ads featuing Nancy Pelosi], Democrats and some Republican strategists say, is that many voters have no idea who Ms. Pelosi is. That can make the advertisements sound more desperate than menacing, or at the least, confounding.

    “It’s awful hard to make a boogeyman out of someone no one knows,” said Ed Rollins, a Republican political consultant. “The reality is, no one is going to vote for a Republican congressman because they are afraid of Nancy Pelosi.”

    A spokeswoman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee suggested that Ms. Pelosi fell into the same category of unknowns as Representative J. Dennis Hastert of Illinois, the Republican speaker.

    “We don’t run Denny Hastert ads because he is speaker of the House and no one knows who he is,” said Sarah Feinberg, the spokeswoman. “People know who the president is, and that is why we have used him in more than 90 ads in 35 districts.”

    Question of the day, Has anyone seen Dennis Hastert in the last three months? Or is he in rehab with Mark “JCH” Foley.

    Ted Haggard said he’s not sure if the claim is election-year politics.

    The leader of one of Colorado’s most popular mega-churches, Ted Haggard, said his church would investigate allegations from a male prostitute that Haggard solicited gay sex, 9News reported Wednesday.

    Now Republicans are against flu shots for blacks and Latinos:

    “Mayor Bill White ordered a halt Wednesday to the city health department’s privately funded drive to offer flu vaccinations at early voting sites in predominantly Hispanic and black neighborhoods, amid conservative criticism that the effort would boost Democratic turnout.”

    Now it’s true that you can’t exchange anything of value in return for a vote. But the shots were vailable whether or not you voted. It was just one way they were using to reach medically underserved communities. Maybe it would boost Democratic turnout. Maybe it wouldn’t. But vote suppression is more important to Republicans than public health. As if we didn’t already know that.

    By all means, people should watch those videos. Then they should go check the congressional record about the particulars of the debates on the relavant bills. Then they will know, with absolutely no doubt whatsoever, that the last thing wingnuts who call themselves “TheTruth2006” really want to have exposed is the whole truth. You should be calling yourself “HalfTruth2006”.

    Why are you Republicans so easily scared? I’ll bet you even sleep with a nightlight on. Fear is essentially an irrational response to the unknown. Promotion of fear lies at the heart of the Republican campaign strategy. That says something for your side. I have no doubt that the world and our nation would be safer under a Democratic government.

    Final New York Times/CBS News poll before the midterm election:

    “The poll showed that 29 percent of Americans approve of the way President Bush is managing the war, matching the lowest mark of his presidency. Nearly 70 percent said Mr. Bush did not have a plan to end the war, and 80 percent said Mr. Bush’s latest effort to rally public support for the conflict amounted to a change in language but not policy.”

    “…Among registered voters, 33 percent said they planned to support Republicans, and 52 percent said they would vote for Democrats…”

    “Mr. Bush’s overall approval rating was 34 percent, unchanged from a poll three weeks ago, an anemic rating that explains why many Democrats are featuring him in their final advertisements, as well as why some Republican incumbents do not want him at their side.”

    “That approval rating is 9 points below where former President Bill Clinton’s was in October 1994 — the election in which Republicans surprised Democrats by taking control of the House — and 28 points below where Mr. Bush’s approval rating was on the eve of the 2002 midterms.”

    What’s Mr. Bush’s plan again, wingnuts? Oh yeah, stay the course. Too bad no one believes him any more.

    ChristmasGhost: it’s not the gay sex – it’s the hypocrisy. The man is ostensibly anti-gay. It’s an “immoral lifestyle” according to him. He’s also an adulterer. And this guy purports to lead a flock of the faithful?

    And this fellow has the ear of your Dear Leader in the White House?

    He must be your kind of guy.

    Ted Haggard (Post file)

    Ted Haggard, one of the most prominent evangelical pastors in the nation, resigned today as president of the National Association of Evangelicals amid allegations that he carried on a three-year sexual relationship with a male prostitute.

    Haggard, founder of the 14,000-member New Life Church, has denied the accusations but said in a statement released by the church today that he could “not continue to minister under the cloud created by accusations made on Denver talk radio this morning.”

    re 27: You are strictly from lala land. A mental basket case. Do you know that O’Reilly makes $54 mil. a year cynically feeding you stuff that he doesn’t even believe!

    re 37: If Darcy doesn’t win we’ll at least have a compliant half wit who will do whatever the strong tell him to.

  47. 47

    A question to the wingnuts: is your Dear Leader in the White House Shrubya in any way tainted by the “moral” advice proffered by the Reverend Ted Haggard?

    Just think for a second. One moment he’s hot and heavy with a gay male professional, smoking meth and deep into adultery – the next moment he’s on the “horn” with the Preznit!!!!!

    Wingnuts!!! You gotta love this!!

    Just imagine how cynical the anti gay gay Republican Evangelical is.He’s been laughing all the way to the bank with a wad of your money in his hands and a wad of God knows what in his underdrawers.

  53. 53

    re 51: Yes. That’s exactly what he’s been doing to you. For years. Did the Preznit ever shake hands with him. Kinda makes you think.

  54. 54

    I’m guessing that at least once he was smoking meth AND fucking the gay hooker WHILE on the phone with the president, making plans to punish all those gay drug users.

    Now we know why Laura wants a divorce for George.

    She caught Bush, Rove, Jeff Gannon and Rev Haggard in a steamy, gay, man on man on man on man 4 way buttfucking fest. With Foley molesting young page boys with a priest’s blessing.

    All the while Hastert looks the other way while running the video camera.

    From Slate Magazine:

    Jodi Kantor, writing in the New York Times earlier this week, spotted an outbreak of Bushenfreude in the suburbs of Seattle, formerly “a stronghold of socially liberal Republicanism,” where Democrat Darcy Burner is giving incumbent moderate Dave Reichert a run for the money. Their overall fund-raising totals are roughly equal: $2.47 million for Reichert to $2.41 million for Burner. But factor out the PACs, and Burner’s winning the money race. She’s raised $1.85 million from individuals, compared with $1.25 million for Reichert. Some of that Democratic cash is doubtlessly coming from folks like the die-hard Republican with a Harvard MBA and a job at Microsoft who told Kantor: “The Schiavo case. Tapping people without a warrant. Whether or not people are gay … Let people be free! It’s not government’s job to interfere with those things.”

    A couple years ago, a friend of mine made the statement, “These people are so craven, it wouldn’t surprise me if I learned that Bush sits in the Oval Office staring at pictures of dead Iraqi babies while Condi Rice is on her knees under the desk!”

    So let me get this straight.

    The story of the day is that Ted Haggard, a bible-thumping, gay dissing, family values man is rumored to be getting it on with a gay hooker and using meth.

People who preach to the sky that wwhat I put in my body or who I get my freak on with is a sin are busybodies who deserve nothing but raw contempt regardless of their private behavior.

    When they get caught doing the same sins that they are scolding others for? Well, perhaps schnadenfreude is a failing of mine, but it’s one I’ll live with.
