A new radio spot supporting Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) says that Republicans will impeach President Barack Obama if her runoff opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy (D-La.), wins.
“They have shown our president so much disrespect,” says Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) in the ad, which was first reported by BuzzFeed News.
“They said he wasn’t a U.S. citizen, they even sued him — and if Cassidy wins, they will impeach him.”
The ad ends with the message that it is "[a]uthorized by Friends of Mary Landrieu, and paid for by the Democratic State Central Committee of Louisiana.” Landrieu lends her approval at the beginning of the ad.
It’s the latest salvo in the runoff, which will decide Landrieu’s political future.
With the race in its final stretch, Landrieu’s campaign has sought to capitalize on new information that indicates Cassidy might have improperly billed the state’s flagship university.
Last month, she mounted a last-ditch effort to pass a bill approving the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, but came up one vote short.
Landrieu, who chairs the Senate’s Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, has argued that her clout on energy policy makes her an asset to Louisiana. Republicans have pledged to give Cassidy a seat on the committee, when they take over the majority in January.
The longtime senator is fighting an uphill battle. Polls before Election Day indicated that once a Tea Party candidate was eliminated, Cassidy would have an edge with voters.
The runoff will be held on Dec. 6.
Miss Piggy is better looking....
That would require John Boehner and Mitch McConnell to grow a total of four things they do not currently possess.
Hilarious. Everyone knows the GOP doesn't have the courage to make obscene gestures at Zero, let alone impeach him.

Is it too late to move to Louisiana to add a vote to the ‘R’ column? (Oh, I forgot, only DemocRATS stoop that low. My bad.)
So? Vote Cassidy
And all of His children said ‘AMEN’!
Well...they did elect her.
In that comparison...she's georgeous!
King Barry was going to veto it anyway. This let him off the hook; he can claim that no bill ever got to his desk. Some LIV's are bound to swallow this ruse, hook,line and sinker.
This act just reinforces her ineptitude. If you are 60 feet out and drowning and the rope is 59 feet long, you are going to drown. If you are the one drowning, would you call this a good try, or a total failure?
Here in Louisiana, pro-Cassidy groups, and Cassidy himself, are WISELY running this campaign as if he were 2 points behind. They send out superb, quality mailers several times a week, most of which show Landrieu and 0sama together, and point out specifics of her rubber-stamp support for him. They also run GREAT radio commercials. One I partially heard today said that “after 6 years of inaction, Mary finally tried to get the Keystone Pipeline through, but not for her constituents, only for her own career. Even then, all she could do was throw a Fail Mary!” It was much more, and much better, than what I’m posting here, and had me laughing out loud.
Early voting numbers for Republicans are up significantly compared to the primary, which is very encouraging.
One can never underestimate the dead voters in New Orleans, and the Rats’ dirty tricks. However, this time our side is playing it smart, and has numbers which reflect the trend. I’m cautiously optimistic that Landrieu is finally toast.
OK, run with that one, Mary. Let's all see what happens.
What? No burning of churches?
“They’ll put you’all back in chains” Biden the Idiot
In my dreams, Babyfat.
Just plain silly.
That's right Ced, he's your President, yours, not ours. Republicans should be commended for their restraint for not spitting every time his name is mentioned.
You really mean there is someone who doesn’t spit when the Traitor’s name is mentioned? Really?
Live by the Obama, die by the Obama...
