Today we have a rather unexpected “Moron of the Moment.”
Facing the prospect of losing her Senate seat, Elizabeth Dole has opted to utilize a Rovian tactic to keep her sinking campaign afloat; lying. In a 30 second ad, Dole asserted that her opponent, Kay Hagan, is godless. And the ad concludes with a female voice saying, “There is no God.”
The trouble for Dole is that it is not Hagan’s voice, and she never said such a thing.
Hagan has responded with two ads, and is seeking a “cease and desist” order against Dole.
While this is a typical Republican strategy, it is unfortunate, and I would like to believe that it is beneath Elizabeth Dole, who has spent many years as a public servant. This seems a classless way to end a political career.
