Facing the toughest election since his first win in 2006, Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mt) is investing $640,000 in an ad campaign aimed at convincing voters that his Republican opponent Tim Sheehy "will be a puppet for shady special interests. He's taking thousands of dollars from special interests. He won't be an independent voice for the common people of our state like I am."
Ironically, lobbyists have donated more than $458,000 to Tester in the last two years making him the biggest Congressional recipient of lobbyist cash over for the time span. Tester was also the intended beneficiary of $6 million in campaign donations spent by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) in an unsuccessful effort to help Sheehy's primary opponent.
Tester rebuffed charges of hypocrisy, insisting that "my 18 years of experience has demonstrated that I know how to remain uninfluenced by the millions lobbyists have donated to me trying to buy my vote. Sheehy is a total rookie by comparison. As a case in point, I just introduced a balanced budget constitutional amendment."
Sheehy observed "a guy who has spent nearly 18 years in the Senate, during which time he has voted against a balanced budget amendment eight times, does not seem to be a very reliable champion of the taxpayers' desire for an efficient government. Actions speak louder than words. Tester's actions mark him as an advocate of big government and big deficits."

The hallmark of all Democrats - accusing others of what they themselves are doing.
You really cannot make this stuff up. Please televise all RATz executions following U.S. ‘Bastille Day’.
Here in Ohio, Sen. Sherrod Brown is attacking his opponent Bernie Moreno because he made his fortune as an auto dealer/salesman.
What a joke of a choice, a smarmy career politician vs. a used car dealer!
