Two Dem House candidates, two deceptive ads

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) gained notoriety during the ObamaCare debate when with the aid of posters, he claimed that the GOP health care plan is for people to "die quickly." Republican Daniel Webster is challenging Grayson this fall.

Now he's fanning the flames again, as LibertyCentral reports:

The clip in Grayson's ad shows Webster saying that "wives should submit to their husbands." In fact, the unedited clip shows Webster cautioning men not to use Bible verses like that. Grayson has been reprimanded in the Orlando Sentinel, who said that this ad may have cost him support among independent voters. Grayson's campaign has not wholly retreated from the ad, arguing that Webster's support for social conservative groups in the past means that he supports an anti-woman agenda. Webster's wife defended her husband and said Grayson "should be ashamed of his nasty smears."

In that ad, Webster is referred to as "Taliban Dan."

Things aren't much different in Kansas. Raj Goyle is the Democratic nominee for the open seat in the Sunflower State's Fourth Congressional District. The Republican candidate is Mike Pompeo. Goyle is running a sneaky TV ad too.

From the Wichita Eagle:

In Goyle's ad, a shortened version of a video shows Pompeo saying, "My role, as I see it in Congress, is not to bring jobs back to Kansas. Fundamentally, not my job."

Really? Uh, no.

The full quote, which is displayed on Goyle's website, reads:

"My role as I see it in Congress is not to bring jobs back to Kansas . . . fundamentally not my job. My job is to create the environment where y'all can go create the next great company and create jobs, or Sentry International can, or Cessna or Spirit or Learjet. The federal government is not a job creator. It is a job destroyer — every time."

Pompeo should run the entire clip for one of his ads. I approve of that message.
