Kendrick Meek’s debut ad — no Rubio or Crist mention, but a swipe at George Bush
by George Bennett | September 7th, 2010Democratic Senate nominee Kendrick Meek’s first general election ad is a clear appeal to Democrats in a three-way race that will require a mere plurality rather than a majority to win.
General election candidates — particularly Democrats this year — often play down their party affiliation. Not Meek, who identifies himself at the beginning of the ad as “the Democrat for Senate, and with three of us running, you should know what makes me different.”
The ad doesn’t mention Republican Marco Rubio or independent Charlie Crist, but includes Meek saying he’s the only candidate “who took on George Bush.”

Of course he attacked George Bush, that is the only thing the Democrats can do because they have failed miserably in the past 18 months. Where are the jobs promised from the stimulus? What happened to the “no more than 8% unemployment” promised by passing the stimulus? (unempolyment in PBC is near 12%) The Health Care Law is going to cripple our economy not help fix it. They took a Bush annual deficit of $600 billion and made it $1.3 TRILLION! The national debt increased by $4 TRILLION under their watch in only 18 months. Not anything to brag about and the only thing they can do is blame Bush.
They have had the majority in Congress since 2006 and have not taken any responsibility for the sorry state of the economy or the massive out of control federal spending, after all they are the ones that control the purse strings of the Executive Branch. The time of the Democratic Majority is over, Liberal Progressive policies are ruining our country!

That is all we need, another politician looking BACKWARDS instead of FORWARD!!! So he can’t take on who he is running against but only someone that is not even in the race…..NICE…..NOT!

LOL, George Bush is GONE.
The democrats are so pathetic they can’t even talk about what THEIR votes and plans are.
NO to ALL democrats.
JUST to Balance OUR government, we need 40 seats in the Congress and 10 seats in the Senate and that is JUST to balance this one party domination in OUR country.
Pelosi controls the Congress
Reid controls the Senate
And Obama controls the Presidency and LIFETIME judicial nominees that will remain after his presidency.
We are NOT a ONE party country. We need to REBALANCE our country.
Remember what Obama said when he brought the republicans to the White House…”I WON” then the democrats went behind CLOSED doors and didn’t let the republicans participate.
WE NEED BALANCE! Vote in November, REbalance OUR country.
