Gomez (R-MA) calls his opponent dirty.

Who would have thought that I would regret Scott Brown (as a Republican candidate)?

He was bad, but far from the level of whining and stupidity than Gomez is showing, and frankly this is telling a lot about Gomez. After having whined about ads that were presenting his own positions accurately, he now has one calling Markey dirty for some supposed attacks.

It is bad enough that the Boston Globe feels compelled to get out of their usual "impartiality to call out Gomez.

Gomez releases new ad calling his opponent “dirty Ed Markey”

Republican Senate candidate Gabriel E. Gomez is releasing a new television ad that labels his Democratic opponent, Representative Edward J. Markey, “dirty Ed Markey.”

“Negative ads from dirty Ed Markey, smearing Gabriel Gomez, comparing him to bin Laden,” a narrator says in the ad, which shows clips of two of Markey’s ads attacking Gomez. “Now, Markey actually blames Gomez for the Newtown shooting. Disgusting. Thirty-seven years in Congress. Dirty Ed Markey.”

The ad, which will begin running statewide Wednesday, then urges voters to “try something new…Gabriel Gomez, businessman, Navy pilot, Navy SEAL.”

...
Despite what the ad says, Markey has not blamed Gomez for the Newtown shooting. Markey has released an ad that highlights Gomez’s opposition to an assault weapons ban and to limits on high-capacity magazines, “like the ones used in the Newtown school shooting.”


This election cannot finish quickly enough.

Scott Brown was a fluke - Massachusetts Republicans always seem to go back to nominating multi-millionaires.

Rich, out-of-touch, and he wants to be a senator in the same way you or I would want a cold beer.
