Travis Childers(MS-1 D)'s New Ad: I don't know Obama(another rat distances himself from Messiah)

Is Barack Obama Really THIS Unpopular? I wrote yesterday about Travis Childers, the Democratic candidate for Congress in Mississippi's first Congressional District. Childer's Republican opponent has been airing an ad that points out that Childers has received support from Barack Obama. In what seems a desperate attempt to preserve his general election chances, Childers has cut a stunning new ad:

Childers describes the association with Barack Obama as an attack. Is that what's in store for the likely Democratic presidential candidate from other Democrats in targeted districts? It's going to make for an awfully uncomfortable campaign if Obama gets such negative treatment from the candidates that Democrats are counting on to expand their Congressional majorities.

I must say that Shuler has been working closely with those of us in the immigration movement, which has caused him grief with Pelosi and the Dem hierarchy. His sponsorship of the SAVE Act has been a major plus.

Numbers USA gives Shuler an overall grade of A-. . Do you know what has given Shuler religion on this issue?

Shuler knows that the SAVE Act is going nowhere. He admitted in a Christmas party for the Macon County Sheriff (the Sheriffs are the bedrock of local politics, here) that "Nancy Pelosi will never let that bill get out of Committee."

Furthermore, 29 of the 38 Democrat Members of the House who signed on as co-sponsors of the Bill, have refused to sign the Discharge Petition that would force it onto the floor. Speaker Pelosi has made it clear that she'll hurt the Democrats who sign that Discharge.

Although the SAVE Act is pretty good, were it to pass, its presentation with an election coming up is a fraud, pure and simple. Shuler wants to appear conservative -- as do a couple dozen other Blue Dog Democrats. But they all know that the Bill is dead as a duck, courtesy of Nancy Pelosi, whom they voted to put in charge of the House as Speaker.

Sometimes frauds are played out in public, in front of God and everybody. Shuler has voted 81% of the time with Pelosi, and nearly 100% with the national unions, who bankrolled him in 2006, and again in 2008.

Fear of being defeated for reelection has caused Shuler to pretend to get religion on this issue.
