Condescending TV by Heinrich

So I have seen two recent commercials in support of Congressman Martin Heinrich and if there was a reason at all to support him in them, it didn’t come through.

The first tout’s Heinrich’s “achievements” in the senate, not in any specificity, but in the kinds of generalities that are easy to feel good about because he has done sooooooooo much for New Mexico over the last two years. If one is gullible enough to mistake the publically stated intentions of legislation other than actual results then I suppose it would be easy to swallow this tripe. Make no mistake, Heinrich is obsessed with moving his career as a “Progressive” politician and is a total ally to the democrat leadership in Washington. His votes are the evidence and attempts to hide behind vague characterizations of happy motives with zero results.

The second ad is an attack on Heinrich’s opponent, Jon Barela in which the claim is made that Barela wants to take us back to the dark period of the Bush presidency. Oh, the horrors! In a stunning visual cue, a truck with a Barela ad on it backs up! Apparently Heinrich thinks that the voters are stupid. You mean go back to the lower unemployment and lower deficits and growing economy of the Bush years? Beginning with the 2008 campaign the democrats have attempted to sell the fiction that our country was in ruin and only they could save it. It was true that during President Bush’s term that there was too much spending but democrats who have spent even more become hypocrites when attacking those years. Most of the economic problems faced by the country came after the 2006 election when democrats took control of congress. Besides, some recent polls show that a majority of voters prefer President Bush today! What a dumb campaign commercial.

Heinrich has been nothing if not one of the most reliable democrats in congress for the speaker eagerly voting for legislation that will harm the country to include cap and trade, the stimulus, multiple bailouts and of course “Obamacare”. Both of these commercials demonstrate an out of touch person who views political opponents whom disagree with his preferred policies as cartoon villains. It seems as though he really believes that supporting legislation that has failed is still good based only on objective and assumes that the public can’t determine for themselves what to think. It is time that we send him home, wherever that is, or on to a democrat think tank where he can bask in his “achievements” while leaving us alone.
