Sen. Kyl blasts sexual connotation of ‘goes both ways’ House ad

[meow2u3]

A new campaign ad from Arizona Rep. David Schweikert is causing a stir for appearing to suggest fellow Republican Rep. Ben Quayle is bisexual.

"Ben Quayle. He goes both ways ... " reads one side of the mailer. On the flip side, it clarifies: " ... on important conservative issues."

Following media coverage of the mailer, Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, who is supporting Quayle in the incumbent vs. incumbent Republican primary, spoke out Monday night, issuing a statement calling the ad "an example of the worst in American politics."

"It not only misrepresents Ben Quayle's positions on important issues, it includes what can only be described as the strangest of allusions to sexuality that have no place in a political debate," Kyl said. "Such campaign tactics insult the voters, degrade politics and expose those who stoop to them as unworthy of high office. All Republicans and all Arizonans should join in demanding that Rep. Schweikert apologize and clean up his campaign communications."

4. I'm amazed that this shit works, but I guess it does since

they keep doing it. Talk about the lowest common denominator. My only conclusion is that there are a whole lot of stupid people out there that they targeting.

6. Kyl's statements "are not intended to be taken as fact."

Or so he says when he lies about Planned Parenthood. I think that disclaimer says everything anyone ever needs to know about this guy.
