Congresswoman Dahlkemper's TV ads clearly adopt the old adage "if you can't convince them, confuse them."
Mike Kelly (R-Butler), in response to Congresswoman Dahlkemper's first round of TV ads in the Erie media market, made the following statement:
"Congresswoman Dahlkemper continues to mislead voters in Erie County and beyond by taking credit for opposing the 2008 bailout (TARP). Unfortunately for her and the taxpayers she represents, the paper trail just doesn't support that claim. The fact is, Congresswoman Dahlkemper had numerous opportunities to railroad this outrageous government spending. Instead, her loyalty to Speaker Pelosi trumped her commitment to 3rd district voters."
