Minnick ad backfired

I didn’t need another reason to vote against Walt Minnick other than the fact he’s a Democrat and voted to install Nancy Pelosi as speaker, which has heralded in the greatest destruction of the American way in our nation’s history, but I got one recently. I heard Minnick’s radio ad against his opponent Raul Labrador and I was appalled by the lies it represents.

The ad insinuates that Labrador used illegal and costly legal maneuvering to get illegals into the U.S. There is no “amnesty”! There is only legal immigration that is confusing and time-consuming. Using an attorney to help is wise and is equal to using one to apply for Social Security, patents, trademarks and copyrights.

Minnick shows how disgusting he is with this ad, especially since he used the exact same legal services to adopt an Asian child. What a hypocrite. Seems to be the say-one-thing-and-do-another philosophy that defines the Party of Destruction. I’m voting for Labrador.
