Hat tip to Martha Zoller for posting it first, but House Speaker David Ralston is up with his first, in-person TV ad of the GOP primary season. The speaker is being challenged by Sam Snider, a Gilmer County High School wrestling coach.
Ralston doesn’t mince words about the people he thinks are behind Snider. From the script:
"Growing up here, I was raised on some good, solid conservative values. That's why I've run a positive campaign. Sadly, we've seen a bunch of crazy radicals from outside our district talking sleaze and nonsense. You deserve better…."
The words you use don't always matter as much as the ones you don't. Notice that Ralston, in his condemnation, didn't utter the words "tea party." So who's the speaker talking about? Here's the background.
