Dole's Challenger Up In Polls After "Godless" Ad

U.S. Senate candidate Kay Hagan launched legal action against Sen. Elizabeth Dole's "godless" attack ad Thursday as a chorus of critics joined her in accusing Dole of crossing the line with the controversial TV spot.

...

A new Rasmussen poll, taken Wednesday after the Dole ad began airing, showed Hagan ahead of Dole 52-46. A new survey by Civitas, taken Monday through Wednesday, showed Hagan up by a smaller margin.

A strong indication that Liddy has given up the race :

Her mother just put a "room for rent" sign in her front yard...

Hopefully you will remember the old jingle for Libby Vegetables:

When you've got Libby Libby Libby

on Election Day Hagen Hagen Hagen
When you've got Libby Libby Libby

I find it interesting that Dole thinks being linked to Bush is equivalent to being an atheist.
Her ad was in response to and ad attacking her for attending a fundraiser at the home of a Bush supporter,

"In one week, you can put an end to the politics that would divide a nation just to win an election; that tries to pit region against region, city against town, Republican against Democrat; that asks us to fear at a time when we need hope. In one week, at this defining moment in history, you can give this country the change we need.....In one week, we can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo. In one week, we can come together as one nation, and one people, and once more choose our better history. That"s what"s at stake. That"s what we"re fighting for."

GO VOTE NOW! Make History! Obama is need of all the votes necessary to create a landslide. Let's make sure that our state turns blue! Bring your friends and family - make it a group thing! Wouldn't you want to say 1 year from now, 5 years from now, or even 20 years from now that you contributed to the most highlighted election in US history? Wouldn't you be proud to tell your kids/grandkids years from now that you voted for this election? It will be the most talked about election for centuries. Voting is a right and a privilege. Let's all make history together!

Whether or not Hagen attended a fundraiser with "godless" Americans is irrelevant. Even if she did I believe it was Jesus that spent most of his ministry with sinners and "godless" people. Seems like a pretty good role model to me, Libby!

Dole should be ashamed of herself.

""The ad "turns the table on her," Dole said, asking "why in the world" Hagan would attend knowing the host's affiliation.""
Because there's freedom of religion in the U.S. you arrogant p!nhead. The founding fathers didn't say you 'had' to practice religion because if they did, I'm sure they would have made an exemption for the church of lies and hate you attend.

liddy, you miserable old b*tch!! God is gonna get you for your unchristianlike lies. Wait for it! The punishement will be that you lose this election.

[wordvarc]

Blowback.

Dole sold her soul, her credibility, and lost her Senate seat for these rovian lies.

[JennyJay]

OUT WITH THE DOLE - IN WITH THE NEW!
Her base must be living in the middle ages, America is way, way, way past this kind of crap.

This is just ridiculous..when did it start that the republicans claimed God? My aunt used to work in the house of reps and she worked for an ohio democrat (years ago) and she talked about what a great guy he was and that he was also a Christian. She is very serious about her faith and she hates seeing that the republicans claimed it. She knows God is better than that...He doesn't care about demo or repub...it is just insane. I hope after these last 8 years the republicans get spanked this year...so that they can see exactly how horrible their message has been!

"when did it start that the republicans claimed God?"

1980 (first Reagan campaign)

It really took off with reagan, but it was nixon who was the first claimer of God. Guess we all should have paid closer attention.
