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.
If only it were true, but heck, LA politics is notorious. My conscience would hound me for lying like that. Guess that’s why I’m not a politician.
“If only they respected Obama down in LA...
What the hell is she thinking - that she lives in a Blue State?”
As I noted in the other thread, this isn’t directed at you.
It is directed at BLACKS, and getting them to the polls.
Apparently she doesn’t know the RINO leadership too well
This is the best possible ad promoting Bill Cassidy!!!
The GOP would be able to do that regardless. Removing him would be a harder thing which is why I believe pursuing impeachment would be a distraction and pyrrhic victory.
>> “If Cassidy wins, GOP will impeach Obama” <<
.
From her lips to God’s ears!
LOL
Did Landrieu just endorse Cassidy?
Sorry, Mary, but the ONLY way the Republicans will even consider bringing up impeachment is if they have a few Democrat senators who are secretly saying they would vote against Obama in the Senate trial.
That would mean the Democrats approve bringing Articles of Impeachment.
I wish.
Senator Guillory is great, he tells it straight.
Suppose there was a high black voter turnout. It only helps if the race is close.
Race-baiting works only up to a point.
I was excited getting Mary ousted....until I heard that Jebby is coming in to campaign for Cassidy.
She says that like it's a bad thing.
See my post at #34.
Argh!
If only it were true. Alas.
She’s running ads for Cassidy?
Wait, the GOP will impeach Obama..Im trying to understand why that would be considered a bad thing
Dear Cedric Richmond (Dummy-La.) :
I so wish you were correct, but alas, Boehner has no balls.
