Alison Grimes Campaign Commercial So Deceptive It Earns 4 WaPo Pinocchios
NewsBusters ^ | October 7, 2014 | P.J. Gladnick

Just how deceptive is Alison Grimes' campaign commercial attacking Senator Mitch McConnell for supposedly being "anti-coal?" So deceptive that even fact checker Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post has awarded it four Pinocchios for extreme mendacity. To make matters worse for Grimes, this four Pinocchios award comes at the same time that James O'Keefe's Project Veritas released two videos showing Grimes campaign workers and a big financial backer stating on hidden camera that Grimes is only pretending to support the coal industry in order to get elected.

First up, let us look at the Alision Grimes 4 Pinocchio campaign commercial:

What does it say about the left that they have to constantly lie about their policies to get elected? What does it say about their followers that they keep coming back for more?

Liberals HAVE to lie to get elected. Not many people would vote for them if they didn’t.

She gets extra points for lying. That proves she will not let pieties get in her way. Willing to lie, cheat, and steal for the cause is one of the basic litmus tests for marxists.

Although McConnel is “sub-optimal”, at this point having Grimes win would be a crime.

What a disgusting, amoral group. They deserve each other only in another country. Where did all these low lifes come from anyway? I guess Pelosi and Obama emboldened them to come out from under their rocks.

This is why the DemocRATS latched on to the low information voter base. The DemocRATS remind me of child molesters giving candy to little girls.

Please I see no difference other than compromising oneself to vote for him.

Sorry i never bought into that well better than nothing thought process.

IT just perpetuates exactly what is DC and people that not only voice that conclusion like Rush, well, are just simply the reason why we are at the point we are at.

Buck up and Ditch Mitch.

Marxists believe that those who do not worry about morals or their own souls are superior because they are doing right by "The People" and for "The Cause!"

After you boo the mention of God at your convention, the rest is easy.

The Democrat supporters of Wendy “Abortion Barbie” Davis in TX chanted “Hail, Satan!” in the rotunda of the state capitol. There is no doubt as to whom they are following.

What does it say about the electorate since they know/strongly suspect theyre being lied to and still vote for the liar?

I’ve taken a lot of heat here for my proclamation that for the first time since 1972 I’m going to vote for a democrat - Grimes. My highest priority was to get rid of Mitch unless he’s running against Satan himself.

However, this is almost that bad. It’s absolutely dispicable what is getting discovered in her campaign.

I can’t in good conscience vote for her. I’ll either not vote in this particular contest or vote for Mitch. Not sure which, now...

Mitch McConnell is not exactly a friend of coal.

That being said, Grimes would happily have coal miners and coal industry management/executives hauled off into death camps powered by solar/wind/nuclear energy, so she shouldn’t exactly call herself a friend of coal, either.

I’m glad you changed your mind.

I won’t tell you to vote for Mitch, but no conservative should vote for a democrap witch.

To them, having to lie about their positions in order to get elected just proves the superiority of their positions - because the masses aren’t smart enough to understand them.

That they are the same as those they vote for, and richly deserve all they get.

But...they are too damn stupid to even know that they are going to get screwed and it's a damn shame that those of us who are ambulatory and potty trained are getting screwed with them and because of them.

You’ve just summed up the whole Saul Alinsky ethic beautifully.
