A tea party Senate candidate is going after one of his Republican primary competitors over a supporting ad that does not include the phrase "repeal Obamacare."
North Carolina Senate candidate Greg Brannon's (R) campaign is attacking North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis (R-NC) Senate campaign over a new ad by American Crossroads in support of the state House Speaker, establishment Republicans' preferred candidate in the race.
The narrator in the ad said Tillis has the "conservative guts" to replace Obamacare with "honest healthcare reforms." The ad however does not say Tillis wants to repeal Obamacare and that's where the Brannon campaign pounced.
"You’ll notice it makes no mention of repealing Obamacare which would take real guts and surprisingly it even references the same radio interview in which Thom says Obamacare is a great idea that can’t be paid for," Brannon campaign manager Reilly O'Neal told The Plum Line's Greg Sargent. "What I’m not at all surprised to see is an ad touting his conservative credentials launch on April 1st of all days. Seems fitting."
The Tillis campaign responded that the House speaker strongly opposes Obamacare.
"Speaker Tillis obviously does not think Obamacare is a great idea, and in fact he wants to repeal it and will do so in the U.S. Senate," the Tillis campaign's Jordan Shaw said.
Tillis, actually, has said there are a few good ideas in the health care law but that he still opposes it over all.

Must be something in the water down in Florida.
No. Voter fraud gave the White House to Obama. I will never be convinced otherwise. States were called for Obama with 1% of precincts reporting. I watched it happen on Fox News with several of my friends. When the AP says it's over, it's over. The early voting setup in this country is nothing but pure unadulterated DEMOCRAT fraud!
Not only voter fraud but McCain shilled for the creature.
Pretty much....
True, that!
