From the MDP:
LANSING- Today the Michigan Democratic Party (MDP) unveiled a new television ad on Republican gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos titled “Twins”. The ad, which begins airing today, shows how there is no difference between DeVos and President Bush. DeVos’ family has given over a half million dollars to Bush’s political campaign and a strong supporter of Bush’s unfair trade and tax policies.
“A vote for Dick DeVos is a vote for President Bush,” said Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer. “President Bush has ignored Michigan throughout his term and has supported unfair tax and trade polices that have severely harmed our manufacturers. Dick DeVos has been a very strong advocate for these failed policies. Bush’s crony DeVos would be a recipe for disaster for Michigan.”
Michigan has been especially hurt by President Bush’s economic polices. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Michigan has lost over 180,000 or 1/3 of its manufacturing jobs since Bush took office. Many of those jobs were lost due to outsourcing.
Dick DeVos has a history of giving large amounts to Republicans. The Center for Responsive Politics reported that while Dick DeVos was President of Amway, the company gave nearly $7 million dollars to Republican candidates and organizations. Common Cause reported in 1994 that Amway made record-setting soft-money contribution of $2.5 million to the Republican Party. The DeVos family has poured millions of their own money on top of the Amway contributions.
They got the line wrong, though. It should go, "If you like George Bush, you'll love Dick DeVos." More punch that way.
Whatever. It's all good.
Awesome job, MDP.
The Disembodied Head tries to tell us the difference between the two. Um, I'm still not seeing it. Try harder, Dick.
