DFL Blind Ad

The DFL party mailed a flyer as an attack ad against Republican candidate Don Taylor (R-17B) with the theme captured by this picture and [un]developed on the reverse side.

The DFL claims Republican party bosses demand blind obedience. And since Don Taylor has been handpicked by them, he too will follow in blind obedience. Oh that sounds downright dangerous as if Jeremy Kalin isn't blindly obedient!

The DFL party that is constantly condemning negative ads from the GOP, used an attack ad against the GOP. Obviously they don’t play by the rules they expect others to follow. That’s not new; the DFL party plays dirty politics and continually warns that the GOP is playing dirty politics. Democrats love to condemn the GOP for using the “politics of fear” and then in the very act, use the politics of fear.

The DFL incrimination gets rather old. It is extremely childish, but one expects it from a party full of children who have never matured.

An attack ad, using the politics of fear, doesn’t need substantiation, just as children don’t need a reason more than “cuz.” It is alleged that Taylor is handpicked by state GOP bosses on the basis of footnote number 3 which is a link to the state GOP site.

On that basis, then all the DFL endorsed House candidates were handpicked by their party bosses and the dozens of their local endorsing conventions were a sham. This is the childish reasoning of the DFL, so childish that they can’t even see it can be turned upon them. Nor do they see it becomes an insult to their own grassroots party members.

When the Override Six voted for the Transportation Bill (HF2800), they were obviously not blindly obedient to the GOP bosses. So the blindly obedient message of the DFL has at least six holes in it. The fact that the Override Six were stripped of their caucus leadership positions is besides the point. The point is they were not blindly obedient. The DFL ad designers can’t even select an example that is consistent with their message of blind obedience.

They get farther off theme when they say, “justice should be blind.” Here, the DFL mixes the judicial branch of government with the legislative branch! The judicial branch is expected to administer justice and the legislature legislates what the judicial branch is called upon to interpret.

If they stayed somewhat on theme, they would have to say, “justice should be blindly obedient.” Of course we don’t want judges who are blindly obedient to legislation. With this confusion in the DFL, no wonder we are in trouble. They can’t even do enough critical thinking to write a consistent theme in a one page attack ad. Thank you for wasting so much DFL money on a lousy attack ad. Keep up the great work!
