In 2004, Tom Daschle tried to run as a conservative on issues such as abortion, guns and taxes, but the Thune campaign effectively proved that Daschle’s record did not support those positions. In other words, the Daschle Campaign tried to hide the true ideology of Daschle, but lost anyway.
Four of the Desperate Delusional Dumped Daschle Disciples went to Ohio to work with Democrat Paul Hackett who was trying to win a special Election. Yesterday Rush Limbaugh had a caller from Ohio note this:
RUSH: This is Rick in Milford, Ohio. Glad you called, sir. Nice to have you with us today.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Dittos from the Second District.
RUSH: Thank you, nice to have you.
CALLER: I thought it was interesting, Mr. Hackett runs television commercials here and nowhere on his commercials does he say he's a Democrat.
RUSH: Is that right?
CALLER: Either verbally or in writing.
RUSH: Is that right? Is that right? Well, he doesn't mention he's a Democrat?
CALLER: Nope. Nowhere. He plays the same ad over and over and it's all about he went to Iraq. He doesn't address any issues. It's just that he went to Iraq and you should vote for him because he went to Iraq.
Limbaugh then made this point:
RUSH: I'll tell you what, this guy to me sounds like a typical lib. He runs while trying to conceal his true beliefs, and he's running as a Marine. Of course the implication there is that he's to the right of Jean Schmidt. But, folks, he's not running as a Democrat, because if he were running as a Democrat, he would run anti-war. He would be an anti-war candidate -- and he's not saying that. He's not even saying he's a Democrat.
And he also says this:
But, you know, the thing about Hackett, you just said that a liberal Democrat message is not going to win him any votes. Well, okay, if that's the case, then why are the Democrats and the media looking at this as a bellwether? They are running a liberal Democrat who won't admit it. They're running a liberal Democrat whose trying to sound like a hawk on Iraq by the fact that he served there and he has a concealed weapon permit so he's supposed to be this big gung-ho conservative type guy. So once again they're participating here in a little deceit. "How can we fool 'em today?" I don't know if he's going to win or not, but if he does win, I'm not going to accept the notion that this is a bellwether anything until a liberal Democrat who campaigns as a liberal Democrat says, "I want to raise your taxes, and I want the state of Ohio's government to get even bigger, and I do think George Bush is the most dangerous man in the world," if that guy then runs and gets elected, then I will accept it as a bellwether election. But if this guy wins today and doesn't campaign on what he really believes, and what he has said elsewhere, then this is no bellwether whatsoever it. It won't mean anything and I'll be more than happy for the Democrats to take the wrong message from it. If a liberal Democrat message is not going to win in this district, then we'll just see what happens when the returns come in tonight.
Well the results came in and the Democrat lost just like Daschle. The Democrats can’t win by telling the truth, so their attempts to paint themselves as conservatives no longer work because too many people have learned not to depend on the Democrats’ MSM. Now the Democrats are losing more and more elections, but they are also losing more and more credibility with their lies being exposed for what they are.
Now watch for the lies of the four DDDDD as they return back to South Dakota. The lie that John Thune ran a dirty campaign. The truth: John Thune effectively showed South Dakota the true DC Daschle.
