The Brutal New Attack Ad About The Senator Who Doesn't Live In Kansas Anymore (Amazing ad)
Breitbart ^ | 2/17/2014 | Jonathan Strong

Posted on 02/17/2014 6:29:16 PM PST by Viennacon

The ad opens with a photograph of Sen. Pat Roberts' home in Alexandria, Virginia and proceeds to a La-Z-Boy recliner in Kansas it says he rents “at a donor's house. On a golf course.”

“Pat Roberts doesn't live in Kansas,” the new web ad from Milton Wolf, the conservative doctor who happens to be President Obama's cousin, says.

Wolf's campaign gave Breitbart News an exclusive first look at the ad.

As first reported by the New York Times, Roberts established his voting address at a donor's house the day before Wolf announced his primary bid against him. He previously rented out a house he owns in Kansas to tenants. His wife is a real estate agent in northern Virginia.

Roberts pays $300 a month to his campaign donors to occasionally stay at their house and suggested to the Times he sleeps on a recliner.

After the story came out, Roberts' campaign said his recliner rental does count as a residency.

The campaign put out a radio ad pushing back, saying that people outside the state are trying to influence the election and noting that many of Wolf's campaign donors are in Texas.

However, Roberts has refused to answer questions from the media about how much time he does spend in Kansas.

I have been luke warm on the Kansas movement to oust Pat Roberts. On the one hand, the guy has been there too long, and has significant missteps, and on the other, I would much rather spend money defeating the disasters like McConnell and Gayham.

All this being said, I have yet to see a more effective ad this cycle, being run by anyone. This is well put-together and razor sharp in its cutting power. Wolf has not wasted a dime, and has gotten a great result witth his ad. Of course, its effectiveness will depend on how many T.V. screens he can get it on.

But I really hope our candidates in Mississippi, North Carolina, Alaska, Kentucky, and South Carolina can do something similar.

Yes, the connection is distant though. It’s not as straightforward as just ‘cousin’ I think. Maybe something like second cousin twice removed.

That tears it. Roberts is not getting my vote. Wolf will get it.

When I wrote an email demanding an explanation for Roberts’ obamacare exemption, he didn’t even have the decency to write back and lie.

47 years is easily 25 years too many.

Question: What if Dr. Wolf was a Democrat PLANT? Saying all the right things and voting conservative until the Rats really needed him for any particular vote. They can call it a Profile in Courage. I think that the Tea Party can be easily infiltrated and our movement compromised and we wouldn’t know it. Unknown upstarts may not be the answer. Look at the ‘Libertarian” in Virginia who helped take out Cooch. We may not be smart enough to be careful. I mean Akin and Mourdock had the proper ‘experience’ -just not the brains.

Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore, and neither is Pat Roberts.

Why did the people re-elect him? No one knew?

The Brutal New Attack Ad...what's brutal...the truth?... that he does not live there, that he detests the ones he represents.

I'd vote for a requirement that congressmen have to stay within their state 50 weeks a year and who ever proves they left even for an hour would get the congressman's forfeited yearly salary.

I want my congressman in the line with me at the Piggly wiggly and driving the potholed roads with me, not eating a $100 steak in DC with a 'K' street lobbyist...

“Question: What if Dr. Wolf was a Democrat PLANT?”

What if Dr. Wolf is just trying to fix the damage done to his family by his female cousin’s whoring around with a Kenyan layabout which resulted in her getting knocked up? There is no way to equate Dr. Wolf with either Akin or Mourdock (or O’Donnell or Angle either). He looks to be a very solid conservative candidate. The business in VA WAS a third party candidate, who, in all probability, WAS a RAT plant.

Yes and just as much a phony as Obama is!

Danger in throwing in with someone about whom you know mostly nothing (you know nothing because the guy's done absolutely nothing with which any conservative can identify - or remember) but wants to gain national office because ...........wait for it, he's a distant cousin to Barack Obama, oh, and he thinks Roberts has served long enough!

Fair enough on Roberts but who is he, what has he ever done to assist in conservatives getting elected, getting pro-life bills padded, getting Defense of Marriage bills voted on, oh and how long has he actually been a registered Republican?

There are actually some great conservatives who deserve the nod after working in the KS conservative trenches but not this one!

I have a relative who is gay. He is a cousin I have nothing to do with and haven't seen in over 30 years. This is roughly the connection between this person and 0bama.

Using your logic, I very well could be gay, but I'm not.

What the heck is wrong with your head? What makes you seek to smear someone with such a tenuous connection?

People like you really should seek professional mental help.

Wolf isn't a democRAT plant, he is also not a conservative!

We conservatives would have met, heard of or known the guy before last fall.

When was the last conservative event Wolf attended before he went out to collect money for his campaign?

Really? Based on what? You have admitted you have nothing to base your concern on, save for things you admit you don’t know. However, you seem to believe you can call this guy a “phony.”

Your profile makes you out to be a GOP fundraiser. Thank you for whatever good you’ve done. However, it makes me believe you are likely a RINO sympathizer. Your support for Roberts and for what some of his votes over 47 years were tell all you gladly support a RINO. By the way, McCain has voted for some good things over the years, too, but that doesn’t mean his butt should continue to stay, either.

The Senate Conservatives Fund backs this guy.

I’ll take that over your self-professed words of your own ignorance, any day.

Don’t know since I don’t live there. Roberts is part of the “old guard” in the GOP and after 47 years, he needs to go if we are to have any hope of making the GOP work. For the most part, I vote against incumbents, which is easy for me because all of them are RATS where I live.
