The GOP negative ad barrage is starting courtesy of a political ally of Bush, DeLay and Ken Lay:
A previously unknown group led by a Republican political consultant in Houston is financing television advertisements against nine Democratic House candidates from North Carolina to Arizona.Talk about a misnomer. Americans for Honesty on Issues is being headed by an ally of three Americans who don't know much about honesty:
The group, Americans for Honesty on Issues, is spending more than $1 million on the advertisements, which accuse Democratic candidates of carpetbagging, coddling illegal immigrants, being soft on crime and advocating cutting off money for troops in Iraq.
The leader of Americans for Honesty on Issues is Sue Walden, a close ally of Tom DeLay, the former House majority leader who left Congress amid questions on ethics and fund-raising. Ms. Walden has also raised money for President Bush and served as an adviser to Kenneth L. Lay, the former chief executive of Enron who died in July.This just shows how delusional and deceptive the Republicans are this year. Seriously, think about it. An ally of Bush, DeLay and Ken Lay is heading a group called talking about honesty on issues.
