From Progress Iowa: We're Smearing Him?

[rurallib]

Governor Branstad accused us of 'smearing' him in our latest TV ad... by showing him in his own words!

You've seen our ad, the one I sent you on Sunday. It shows the Governor denying, and denying, and denying knowledge of the scandals in his own administration.

In a statement to the Des Moines Register last night, Branstad's spokesman "accused Progress Iowa of smearing the Governor and said Iowans know the true Terry Branstad..."

But after Branstad denied knowing about his speeding SUV, the improper influencing of an Iowa judge, and hush money paid for secret settlements to fired state workers, very few believe him any more. According to a recent poll, only 17% of Iowans trust the Governor when he says he had no knowledge of his administration's activities.

We want as many Iowans as possible to see the real truth about Governor Branstad (even if he calls it a smear). Will you donate today to keep our ad running?

Thanks for all you do,
Matt Sinovic
Progress Iowa

1. Branstad is a mealy-mouthed douchebag.

Most people will only hear the he was smeared, and won't notice that his own words were used. It seems all one has to do is make the accusation, and people will buy it.
