Mitch McConnell's first ad in this year's Senate campaign in Kentucky is so silly and pointless that it seems like a spoof from a political satirist.
If only it were. Then maybe there would be hope that the minority leader of the United States Senate was going to talk about real issues, instead of probing the political depths to determine how many voters can be fooled one more time.
The Herald-Leader added:
McConnell has launched an attack ad that suggests ”automatic tax increases“ are to blame for $4 gas. Furthermore, McConnell accuses his opponent, Bruce Lunsford, of being responsible because he was part of the John Y. Brown administration 28 years ago when the legislature approved the gas tax formula.
McConnell's commercial is essentially dishonest.
Unfortunately, Mitch McConnell isn't alone in trying to blame his opponent for high gas prices -- even so-called "straight talker" John McCain is doing it.
