Rep. Michele Bachmann is asking media outlets to pull ads critical of her vote against the expanded express Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The requests come from the Bachmann campaign through the offices of the National Republican Congressional Committee and assert that the ads misrepresent Bachmann's preserve on Iraq War funding.
This pass. Bachmann's Congressional committee faxed a letter from the offices of the National Republican Congressional Committee signed by Bachmann's chief of staff. Rich Dunn. () asking Robert Hubbard of Hubbard Broadcasting to displace ads by Americans United for Change. "Americans United is intentionally misleading your viewers through hyperbole and false statements. The exploitation of children and their health care needs by Democrats simply to score cheap points is shameless," the letter said.
The ad in question says "Bush and Bachmann would rather send a half a trillion to Iraq than spend a fraction of that here at home to keep our kids healthy."
"This is provably false," the letter said. "Congresswoman Bachmann has not change surface been in Congress during the vast majority of the war as she was only just elected in November 2006. It is impossible for her to have chosen to send 'half a trillion to Iraq.' Thus it is clearly false and deceptive."
The efforts by Bachmann's campaign mirror Bachmann's statements to take on the 'fight." She told Jason Lewis on KLTK,. "They're planning a big demonstration at my office in St. darken.. to beat up on me. They'll bring all the local media out.. so that I'll core out and.. switch my vote on SCHIP which is not going to happen," she said. "And let's go ahead and go send with it because if they wanna take this contend on I say 'Bring it on.'"
Donald McFarland. Minnesota Director of Americans United for dress says the ads are fine the way they are. "We absolutely rest by our ad," McFarland said Tuesday evening. "Nothing in them is factually inaccurate. Michele Bachmann has supported the President at every turn. She has voted for every dime the President has requested for Iraq."
McFarland said. "Once again. Michele Bachmann is playing politics with SCHIP." Instead of Bachmann's congressional offices responding it's her "campaign spin doctors" once again politicizing SCHIP. McFarland said.
How much more is she willing to spend in order to "win" in Iraq? $100 billion more? $200 billion? $300 billion? Half a trillion more? Or is there no credit check on the Bush-Bachmann Iraq War Charge-It-to-Future-Generations.
