Father Bothered By Political Ad Campaign
So the guy knows his daughter was one of those referenced by a political Ad yet the daugher’s name is never mentioned in the ad itself? According to the apparently partisan article the ad says:
“Just last year in another case, an inmate convicted of robbery walked away from Ellsworth’s safe house and murdered three people.”
One would also think that the father of a victim would like to know who was running the program that let the murder out in the first place. What does party have to do with that? I guess it depends on who’s party it is, doesn’t it.
And, I suppose that we now can’t talk about Iraq in political ads because someone’s child died there? Yet it is the Democrats campaigning on the deaths of American Soldiers in Iraq. And they are using the names and images of the dead in anti-Iraq campaign materials against the wishes of the wishes of the parents and next of kin.
Back to the father, of course the guy is mad! He lost a daughter! He’d lash out at Santa Clause if he happened to wander by too closely. I feel for him, I truely do. But, this is partisan sensationalism, pure and simple.
And, for the record Congressman John Hostettler is my Congressman and I will vote for him in November.
