Yarmuth's New Site Smells
Rep. Northup's team created a web site called theyarmuthrecord.com which is dedicated to citing articles that Yarmuth wrote for the LEO. There is nothing else on the site except excerpts from Yarmuth's columns. The sum of which paint Yarmuth to be a liberal elitist. Which he is.
Of course this doesn't jive with Yarmuth's new found moderation on the issues. He has spent much of the campaign fighting his liberal image. Why? Because liberals can't win elections when they are who they are. Instead they need to cloak themselves in moderation so voters don't know what they really believe. Otherwise the average person would be appalled and refuse to vote for them.
To combat the Liberal label that Yarmuth has effectively been branded with, the Yarmuth campaign has created a site called northupexposure.com. It's stated purpose is to respond to theyarmuthrecord.com
After going through the site I found very little defending Yarmuth. Instead it seems to be meant as a Northup parody site. The only problem is the web site isn't funny. Instead the caricatures of Bush and Northup are insulting and the entire hit piece seems both sophomoric and vindictive.
I don't understand why liberals get so mad and spiteful when all you do is point out what they believe. Maybe because they thought it would be easy to fool everyone and they hate being wrong. I don't know why, but whatever it is Northup struck a nerve. She had to in order to be the target of such vitriolic hate.
But in the end, this is just one more example of the childishness of the Yarmuth campaign. Instead of campaigning fairly, they try once again to stretch the boundaries of decency.
Hopefully the people of Louisville will reject his campaign and vote for the adult in the race and send Northup back to Washington.
