WASHINGTON – It’s 19 months until the next congressional elections, but the anti-war folks are getting an early jump on the opposition. Americans United for Change – a Democratic-leaning umbrella group – is airing television ads this week targeting six House Republicans whom the group sees as vulnerable because they are not voting with Democrats on the Iraq war.
Those under siege are Mary Bono of California, Dean Heller of Nevada, Timothy Johnson of Illinois, Randy Kuhl and Jim Walsh, both of New York, and Heather Wilson of New Mexico.
“These guys have a choice whether to break with the GOP or face political extinction,” said Tom Matzzie, Washington director for MoveOn.org, which is helping finance the ads.
Walsh opposes mandating a deadline for withdrawing forces but voted against the recent troop increase that President Bush ordered. His spokesman, Brian Baluta, said that the last time an antiwar group attacked the congressman in an ad, the office was deluged with calls – and most were supportive of Walsh.
Riiiiiiiiight. As if Moron.org would lay off the Republicans if they changed their positions.
If these Republicans deserve reelection, they will point out just who it is that is opposing them.
Let’s sit back and watch this one backfire too.
Pelosi butt boy of the Brazos Valley... he's the only one to save the vet here in Texas. Otherwise the evil Republicans are going to shut down the VA hospital and put them out on I-35
Newspeak for yet another Soros funded group.
