Does Nancy Johnson have anything besides attack ads?

Does Nancy Johnson have anything in her arsenal besides negative attack ads?

You would think after more than two decades in Congress, she could come up with a positive record of accomplishments, like heading the Congressional commission that investigated corruption in Iraqi contracting, or the one investigating Hurricane Katrina malfeasance. Or, how she has spearheaded fiscal responsibility in Washington these last 5 years, or how her efforts to raise the minimum wage bucked the leadership of her own party, or how she defied Dennis Hastert to call for continuing the Paris Hilton estate tax cut.

Oh, wait, she has not done any of that, or even made the attempt.

I heard an ad of hers this morning on the radio, and they kept repeating, over and over again, about how her opponent has raised taxes 27 times...27 times... 27 times...27 times. Over and over. Like the guy in “Clerks” who found our his girlfriend had had oral sex with 37 guys. 37...37...3... I don’t know why, but that old movie just popped into my head when I kept hearing the ad over and over again.

How about an accounting of how we could have spent the $300 billion+ from Iraq on improving and securing our own country? How about calling Republican leadership to account for out of control deficits, incompetence in Iraq, Medicare donut holes, corruption in government contracting, etc, etc?

1. You know what I hear everytime another one comes on?

"Head on. Apply directly to the forehead"...

Hers are getting almost as annoying. Not to mention misleading.

She's got the one warm and fuzzy (cough, cough) one about how nice it was of her to go to the memorial service of a guy in her district who died on 9-11. Big of her, wasn't it? I think we should all run out and vote for her just for that!

She's got nothing. And I love that she's running scared. Chris has always seemed to be a very nice smart young guy. I LOVED that he really, really does the door to door thing. He's a hard worker, and he listens.

Almost wish I were in his congressional district so I could vote for him!

2. I cringe every time one of these ads come on

By the end of the "commercial", I was saying "27 times!" involuntarily. And Chris Murphy wants to tax FIDO??!! WTF?! Sounds like crap, like everything else.

I seen a Simmons ad that does the same thing to Courtney. The kicker: Joe Courtney wants to tax war veterns... give me a break Simmons. I seriously hope people don't buy that crap.

I'm too far away for Shays' ads.
