Kevin Mannix, he of many statewide defeats and now running to lose in the race to replace Darlene Hooley in Oregon's fighting fifth, has released a campaign ad. Here we go:

The bold claims:

-Mannix fights crime... because locking people up and throwing away the key is that panacea we've all been waiting for.

-Mannix fights for jobs... by enacting ridiculous free trade proposals and by protecting our bloated agricultural lobby.

-Mannix fights higher taxes and for a better economy... by making the Bush tax cuts permanent and by keeping us in Iraq.

-Maninx fights for veterans... by opposing badly-needed healthcare reform.

-Manix fights for women... by opposing their right to choose.

He sure is a fighter. Just perfect for the fightin' fifth.

Send Kevin packing. For me, that means supporting Kurt Schrader for Congress.
