Now when I see Bustos responding by saying that Schilling wants to keep the Congressional Gym opening, I think that is pretty weak, as well. Neither side came out a winner in this skirmish.

Weak sauce. But thanks NRCC for reinforcing the idea that rich people are untrustworthy in case any Iowans whose presidential votes matter are watching this in the Quad Cities market.

It was easy to see that Schilling has no education and only talks in these safe type environments. His son Terry who is paid by lobbyists to be the official spokesman for the dad speaks for him and that is why you never even see Rep Schilling quoted. Rep Schilling goes so far as to have his wife speak at forums for him why he stays at home and watches all of the kids. At least The Washington politician Schilling knows his limitations.

As you know, it's impossible in 2012 to communicate with constituents without spending half a million in taxpayer dollars on mail.

Kind of the same deal, big house, ritzy neighborhood. I don't think either has much merit. Brings back memories of the ads attacking Rezin during her State Rep run.

True. If Schilling is forced to defend the ad, forced to defend his vote to keep the Congressional gym open, its a win for Bustos.

If not, my guess is Bustos’ ignores the ad or counters with one attacking Schilling for voting to protect Aaron Schock’s abs.

Just ask Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. She read books written for children to help her learn the difference between English sentence construction and Spanish sentence construction. She was criticized by Republicans for that admission. Properly speaking Spanish, does not make it easier to learn English. Just ask Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
