DCCC Ad Attacks Sean Duffy

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has released its first attack ad.

Sean Duffy is its target.



FactCheck.org, where are you? Busy carrying water for Obama and other Dems?

Sean Duffy's campaign responds to the Democrats' lies:

The ad flat out lies to Wisconsin seniors by saying Sean Duffy wants to privatize Social Security. But the record is clear. Sean opposes privatizing Social Security and in Congress, will fight to keep Social Security safe and sound for current recipients and future generations.

As Sean told the Wausau Daily Herald's Editorial Board last week, "One component I don't think is part of the equation is privatizing Social Security. Privatizing is not an option."

The fact that national Democrats would make Sean the first candidate in the country to get this kind of attack speaks volumes. They've seen the polls, and they know they could lose this seat for the first time in 40 years. The DCCC isn't disclosing how much it's spending on these ads but they say the ads will completely saturate the Wausau area.

To fight back, we need you to do two things. First, arm yourself with the facts. Don't let the national Democrats win another election by scaring seniors like they try to do every election.

Next, contribute whatever you can so we can fight back on the air and online. The fact that we're first means there's more to come. They're running scared. They've seen what you've built. Let's knock them back on their heels and show them they've picked the wrong fight.

There's a word for the national Democrat strategy in the 7th district: Desperation. Don't let them get away with it. Stand with Sean and fight back now.

I suppose in a way it's an honor to be the DCCC's first victim. The Dems obviously consider Duffy to be a real threat. Maybe the attack is payback for pushing David Obey out of his seat.

Whatever, the Dems are lying.

I don't think Wisconsinites will be buying the Dems' lies this time around.

Sean Duffy's statement on the attack ad:

"Today, Julie Lassa and her pals at the Democratic National Congressional Campaign Committee will begin airing what is projected to be at least $100,000, and two weeks worth of negative, false attacks against me in the Wausau TV viewing area. Given our strong polling, Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District is the first race in the country that national Democrats are targeting.

"In the attack ad, Lassa and her Democrat friends in Washington accuse me of supporting the privatization of Social Security. This ad is a lie. This ad confirms that Julie Lassa is the same old career politician who will do and say anything to get elected, and that the only job she is worried about protecting is her own. Democrats pretending Social Security is just fine, scaring seniors, and making partisan attacks pose the biggest threat to securing Social Security for future generations, as well as to getting our country headed in the direction it needs to go.

"This is my first campaign. I'm not a career politician and I don't claim to know all the answers. I'm a father of six kids who saw a serious problem with the government mortgaging our children's future with outrageous spending and decided to enter this race to make a difference. I'm worried that my children, and the children in Wisconsin, will not grow up in the same great America that I grew up in.

"Our residents deserve to hear facts in campaigns, not constant mudslinging and distortions. I call on Julie Lassa to stop this fear mongering and start focusing on what really matters: getting government spending under control, putting Wisconsin back to work and passing a fiscally sound budget so that we leave our children with a promising future."
