David Pearce (r) in the 31st Senate District – we've got mail!

We’ve previously covered the extravagant (and minutely targeted) mail plan of those “independent” republican friends on behalf of David Pearce (r – advocate of automotive deer hunting):

David Pearce (r) in the 31st Senate District – the republican money floods in

Well, we’ve got more of that mail, most of it paid for by the republican “Majority Fund” and some of it paid for by Pearce’s campaign. All of it looks the same, even down to the fonts and photos. These mail pieces contain all of the usual tactical right wingnut wedge issue themes. Uh, David Pearce ain’t no moderate when you read his mail. I bet the voters in Johnson County would be interested in that fact, huh David?:

The details are even more fun. From the piece above:

Sometimes it can be nice to have your “independent” republican friends drop $75,000.00 into your primary.

Hmmm, boasting that he made sure poor people and poor children have no health insurance. That’s republican family values for you…

All by his lonesome self. Yeah, dumping that MOHELA thingy means that it’s a lot more expensive for Missouri students to go to college. Way to go, Einstein…

Yes, there’s that fake movie set office, but there’s something vaguely familiar about that tie.

Ooh, look! Here’s another piece – this time David Pearce’s campaign paid for it. Gee, it looks kind of familiar, you know, with the same fonts:

If you scrimp and save and loan your own campaign $49,000.00, you too, could send out familiar looking mail pieces.

Evidently the cost of all that mail and those loans doesn’t leave you any money to buy a different tie for the photo shoot. Come on, work with us here. At least attempt to make those other mailings look like “independent” expenditures.

Yeah, on that jobs thingy, how have the last six years worked out for you? A word of advice – placing the word “cutting” in close proximity twice to the word “jobs” isn’t going to go over well with voters subjected to this limping republican economy. Just sayin’. You know, because anyone with a basic grasp of reality knows that the job situation ain’t exactly rosy.

And who paid for the next mail piece? It’s from the republican right wingnut campaign playbook – noun, verb, anti-choice:

If you’re a republican candidate you never have to worry about raising money for your campaign, your “independent” friends will pay for things. And they’ll throw in a meaningless “fake” endorsement to boot.

Uh, yeah, we pointed this out last time. It’s just plain stupid to say that we should pass a law to make something illegal when it’s already illegal. And then there’s those raging radicals at Planned Parenthood, running through our high schools and forcing pregnant teens to get abortions. Next thing you know, they’ll plant tracking chips in our brains…

You all know what to do. Chris Benjamin (D).
