The Democratic National Committee is running radio ads against Republican Reps. Jim Gerlach and Charles Dent of Pennsylvania, who represent districts carried last year by Barack Obama yet voted "no" on health-care reform legislation earlier this month.
The ad says that each congressman "stood with the insurance industry, not the people he was elected to represent."
Per the DNC, the anti-Gerlach spot will begin running as early as tomorrow on WBEB-FM in Philadelphia, and the Dent-dinging spot will run on WCTO-FM in the Lehigh Valley. The ads will air at least through the week, and other stations may be bought.
Gerlach, of Chester County, and Dent, of Lehigh County, are among 32 GOP members in Obama-carried districts across the nation who are being targeted for opposing the legislation.
Why is Corbett being allowed to use the job he's repeatedly failed at to get the job he's not qualified for? It looks like this "Bonus Gate" affair and the pace of it's prosecution are being timed to help get Corbett free press for his election bid for Governor. We're paying for him and his staff to run for Governor...and then if he fails, he's still drawing a pay check, etc as a lame State's Attorney General! Why are we and our legislature letting him to get away with that? What about the Parole Board Corruption he's been told about, with evidence, for years now? What about the "Rendell Murders"? What about his repeated betrayal of public trust? Who investigates the Attorney General? Who does he answer to... by his own repeated lack of action... it's not the good, decent families of Pennsylvania! Why isn't the U.S. Attorney General (Eric Holder) investigating Tom Corbett!?— John Law- This is "news"? The Democrat party airing negative ads about Republicans? Next you'll tell us the pope is Catholic. The Democrats produce negative ads, send press release to the Democrat Inquirer/Daily News, and it appears in print, even with links to the negative ads. Free advertising. It's the Democrat-Media Complex.— fafafooey
- Sounds almost like the Republican plan to take fake quotes and information on theses and run them on their media outlets, except it's much more rare for the "liberal" media outlets to be disproved the next day.— HandNik
