Here’s a new ad that “Common Sense Virginia” is running (at least on YouTube, haven’t seen it on television yet):
So, they claim that Bob McDonnell took no questions during his stop in Fredericksburg (technically Stafford), eh? My question is how the heck would they know? Sure, there was guy from the group tracking McDonnell but he left as soon as McDonnell finish speaking. Watch the video below and note the heavy set guy with his Sony HD camcorder on a tripod and a fluffy microphone that’s leaving the event as soon as possible:
I contacted Cheylen Davis of The Free Lance–Star who was covering the event and asked her if she was able to ask any questions to McDonnell following the event and she stated the following: “No, but I didn’t try to ask him anything.” ((Cheylen Davis. “RE: Question regarding the Republican kickoff event at Stafford Regional Airport.” E-mail to the author. 9 Jun. 2009.))
So, did Bob McDonnell take any questions or not? And regardless of whether he did or didn’t, how can “Common Sense Virginia” know for a fact whether he did or didn’t? Makes you wonder what else they may be lying about…
As for the stuff regarding the “Faith & Family Alliance”, I’ve got two different posts I need to write about that whole situation…
Common sense Virginia is just a union front group for the democrats, they have been running there attack ads for months and have received millions of dollars from the democrat governors association.
I rarely trust third-party ads such as this. Be it groups supporting Democrats or Republicans, their ads usually are based on a single piece of “truth,” and the rest is all spin.
Also, this group soils my good name!
