What's The Word for Chutzpah in Spanish?
Sunday April 16, 2006
Spanish-language ads -- funded by the National Republican Party -- that are scheduled to run next week in Las Vegas, Reno, Tucson and Phoenix will accuse Democrats of "vot[ing] to treat millions of hardworking immigrants as felons."
The ad also attacks Sen. Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), even though the bill in question is House Bill 4437. The bill was fast-tracked by Republican leadership in December (from introduction to full vote in 10 days) and the final vote was 239-182: Republicans, 203 for - Democrats, 164 against. Only 36 Democrats voted for the bill -- and only 17 Republicans voted against.
The New Mexico Republican party is sponsoring a similar ad in Albuquerque and Las Cruces. Not only is this the epitome of chutzpah, it points to the fact that truth-in-advertising is AWOL where political ads are concerned. From the Las Vegas Sun. (tip 1 and 2)
