Tea Party candidate in the Louisiana Senate race, Rob Maness, compares America during the Obama presidency to his old truck in a new television ad.
“My truck reminds me of our country under Obama: running on empty, needs a tune-up and a good wash,” Maness says in the ad, while washing the truck he has driven through every parish in Louisiana.
Maness says that “Washington politicians can’t fix our problems or our trucks.”
“As Louisiana’s senator, I’ll always put Louisiana over Washington, and I’l make Obamacare roadkill,” he says in the ad.
Maness lags in the polls behind Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy and incumbent Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, but Tea Party groups have continued to support him. Though Maness is a long-shot candidate, he could pull votes from Cassidy in the state’s jungle primary, leading to a December run-off election.
Watch the ad:
Rob Maness seems to have missed that the ACA is a LAW that has been upheld by the Supreme Court. Consequently even if he were elected he cannot by himself affect the law. He would need to get a majority of both chambers AND the President (or a veto proof majority) to sign onto his idea and I don’t see that happening.
“Washington politicians can’t fix our problems or our trucks.”
The idiocy…make it stop! PLEASE!
Maness is running on the platform that there is nothing in DC that some bailing wire and duct tape can’t fix.
If this nitwit is not capable of taking better care of his own truck then what is his argument for taking care of Louisiana in the Senate?
Oh waaaiiit!
Tea Party Candidate… snap!
