One has no doubt that both Democrats and Republicans are preparing to wage the most clean, ethically pure campaigns in 2012 to win or keep Congressional seats since Jesus ran for student council.
Still, if you have a chance to link your opponent to an accused sexual predator, why not do it?
The National Republican Senatorial Committee apparently couldn’t help itself when it recently took the low road by linking Democratic U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow to U.S. Rep. David Wu, an Oregon Democrat who is accused of making unwanted sexual advances toward a young girl.
This week, Wu indicated he would resign his post due to the scandal.
“Throughout this disturbing situation Senator Debbie Stabenow has remained silent, perhaps because she wants to keep the campaign contributions she received from Mr. Wu,” the NRSC stated.
Jahan Wilcox, NRSC spokesman added: “Given the very serious nature of the allegations against Congressman Wu, and his support for Debbie Stabenow’s political career, it’s time for Senator Stabenow to return the money Mr. Wu gave to her campaign.”
According to the NRSC, Wu gave Stabenow’s campaign a whopping $1,000 contribution.
At last check, Stabenow had assembled a $4 million war chest for her re-election bid.
Something tells me Stabenow is not keeping silent because she cares about a measly $1,000 contribution.
