This is funny shit. Gordon Smith is a Republican Senator from Oregon. That Oregon has a Republican Senator in itself is an oxymoron. In fact, he is the ONLY Republican Senator on the Pacific coast. But anyway, the guy is running scared. And he is running ads in Oregon that imply he is endorsed by Barrack Obama. Take a look:



The problem is, Barrack Obama is endorsing Jeff Merkley, Smith's Democratic opponent. Polls show that the race is tilting toward Merkley.

Meanwhile, Oregon's four Democratic Representatives are calling bullshit on the whole thing. Here's a story from KATU-TV in Portland.




It is so fun watching the Republicans eat shit after so many years. Hopefully the era of government for big business and nut-job Christians is coming to a close, and we can return to Lincoln's dream of "government of the people, by the people, for the people."
