Living next to West Virginia we are subjected to WV political

ads constantly. West Virginia Congressman David McKinley (R) is running for re-election. He voted for the infrastructure bill
so TFG has endorsed Alex Mooney to replace him. McKinley has been accused of being a liberal supporting Biden's socialist agenda, pro-abortion, anti 2nd Amendment, a DINO, being for open borders, being anti-law enforcement, etc. But get this McKinley says he
supports Donald Trump too. Governor Justice endorsed McKinley because he says McKinley supports Donald Trump. I can't imagine
anyone being so spineless after TFG guy s--ts on you still support him. Both candidates are swearing allegiance to Donald Trump.
Then there are the constant ads for us to tell Joe Manchin to keep up the good work on destroying the Biden Agenda.

I hear you. I suppose you get the same non stop ads we do for the clown show running for Portman’s seat. They are all knocking each other over trying to proclaim who loves Trump more.
I would have thought Trump would be in jail by now and seeing them proclaim their allegiance to a jail bird would be hilarious. You’re right, though, Trump shits all over our country and they adore him even more. I constantly wonder what world they live in. I don’t think they want us to progress as a nation, seriously.

He will easily sail into his third term, but honestly, I've never seen the man live or ever heard him speak.
He runs professionally made campaign ads saying how hard he works for us and showing him shaking hands with whoever.
The only time I've ever heard his voices is when he says, "I'm John Boozman and I approved this message."

Apparently to address his absentee political style, this time around they're saying he's a "work horse, not a show pony."
They're billing him as, "Trump endorsed, pro-gun, pro-life, anti-everything MAGA world wants to hear.

The biggest lie I've heard so far is that "liberal Democrats" in Washington are trying to tear Medicare apart, but John Boozman is fighting to save Medicare from the Washington liberals. The ad then tells us to call Sen. Boozman and thank him for saving our Medicare and Social Security.

These lies go on day after day uncontested and without Sen Boozman ever appearing in public or ever saying a single word. He'll go back to Washington and be a reliable rubber stamp to vote however to party wants him to vote.

This is the pathetic position of the Democratic Party in red states like where I live. When I moved here fifteen years ago, Sen Boozman was serving the House, the only Republican, our other three representatives and two senators were all Democrats. Since moving here the Republicans have made the state redder than Texas with barely a shot fired from the Democrats.

They just rolled over and allowed themselves to be walked on.
