It's no great secret that the Democrats are holding out much of their hope for winning ANY office this year for the Secretary of State race, where Jocelyn Benson is locked in a close race with Republican Ruth Johnson. While Johnson has been targeted, and rightly so, as a partisan political opportunist, the Democrats haven't had a lot of luck with getting anything to stick in the minds of voters. Until now, perhaps. Ever since a Benson spokesperson labeled Johnson as "No Truth Ruth" in recent weeks, it seemed like that may become the defacto attack they attempt to pin on her. Last week I noticed that the domain name notruthruth.com had been registered under MDP Chairman Mark Brewer's name, and today, I see that website has gone live. It essentially goes through, point by point, the attacks the Johnson campaign lobbed towards Benson in recent weeks, everything from her being an operative of George Soros (she's never met him nor spoken to him), to being behind the "fake tea party" (she learned about it through the press, and immediately called for an investigation). It effectively paints a portrait of Ruth Johnson being the hack politician that she is, and someone Michigan clearly doesn't need anywhere near the Secretary of State's office. I think it's worth people taking the time to send their friends a link to www.notruthruth.com so they can see for themselves the desperate measures that Ruth Johnson and the Republican Party are using to keep their partisan operative in charge of our elections. Michigan needs Jocelyn Benson! |
