This clip from YouTube shows one of the most underrated Democratic challengers in the United States, Andrew Hurst exposing his opponent for blatant lies. Tom Davis (VA-11) is the Chairman of the House Reform Committee. He claimed to a newspaper he had "never taken a nickel from oil companies", even though he had taken $12,000 from Exxon Mobil ALONE!
Tom Davis represents a Democratic-leaning district in Northern Virginia. He claims to be a moderate, but has aligned himself with the religious right, supported the massive cuts in social programs that barely survived the House and Senate (Cheney had to break the tie), and has supported the most draconian of Bush's intrusions into our personal lives from the Patriot Act to Terry's Law.
Hurst is a brilliant speaker, with lots of appeal and a tremendous grassroots behind him. He is among the most passionate, charming, and exciting candidates the Democrats have this year, but he still is off most people's radar. He needs as much help as he can get to continue to pound on this 6 term Republican (who promised to retire in 2006 and then reneged to run again). Please watch the video to see how Democrats SHOULD be speaking out against Republican incumbents. If you like what you see, please recommend to get the word out about Andy!
Thanks to Lowell of Raising Kaine for his first posting of this video.
