In the wake of Creigh Deeds attacking Bob McDonnell for something he didn’t say, it’s funny that the Democrat bloggers [1] have to lie to and attack Ron Villanueva for Will Sessoms’ proposal in the Virginian-Pilot [2] today.
The Democrats’ headline, just in case they change it, is “GOP House Challenger Ron Villenueva Suggests a Tax Hike”
Except he DIDN’T.
I was there. Ron Villanueva didn’t suggest, propose, offer, entertain, support or applaud any tax hike. Not one bit!
Of course, Villanueva’s opponent, Del. Robert Mathieson, has voted for lots of tax hikes (like THIS [3])in his short one term in Richmond, but I guess the Democrats aren’t bothered by that.
But just like Creigh Deeds attacked Bob McDonnell for things he never said, Democrats are attacking Villanueva for proposals he never proposed.
It’s pretty bad when Democrat bloggers can’t think of a single reason to vote for their candidates other than blasting out lies about good candidates like Ron Villanueva.
Voters in the 21st should ask themselves why the Democratic Party would try to misinform the public that Villanueva was proposing any tax increase, when it’s Del. Mathieson who has the actual record of tax increases.
