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.
Yeah, so, what’s the problem?
No such luck.
Stupid Mary Loser!
If only they respected Obama down in LA...
What the hell is she thinking - that she lives in a Blue State?
No wonder she’s that clueless.
Why is her get out the vote effort targeting conservatives?
Landrieu throws herself under the bus?
She can’t even loose with dignity...
...so all you stupid African-Americans get out there and vote for me—Moonface Landrieu.
One can only HOPE
She has Occidental (Obama’s old college) students getting class credit working for her. Two of them.
Link is a brief goes back to the original Los Angeles Times story.
Old Cedric was never one of the sharpest tools in the shed. As a matter of fact the dems running this ad shows the entire left is a few bricks short of a load.
Absolutely! A win win!
“Hold it...vote for me or the n***a gets it...”
Mar’s going the full Thelma & Louis.
Not with Boehner in his lap, they won’t.
She’ll get 95% of the black vote.
But it won’t be enough.
And now she has the baggage of Obama’s endorsement and her very liberal Senate voting record...
She needs a life line but picked the wrong one. This should seal her fate. I doubt anyone voting for Cassidy will change their mind because of Obama. She may even lose a few thousand votes because of this.
