Burns Brings It To Tester
Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT) is up with a new radio ad, just 2 days after the primary, demonstrating he fully understands on what kind of terrain he needs to keep this campaign: namely a referendum between liberal vs. conservative values. State Senate Pres. Jon Tester (D) is still a blank slate to most voters, and the Burns campaign intends to fill in those blanks before Tester can.
Full script "Congratulations":
BURNS: "This is Conrad Burns. 'Thank You' Montana -- after all those false, partisan attacks against me -- you've given me a chance to set the record straight. And congratulations to Jon Tester for winning the Democrat primary. Jon is a good man and I look forward to debating him... Because there are real differences between us. On defending marriage -- I voted for the Marriage Protection Amendment. Jon has said he would not support the amendment that protects marriage. On taxes -- I've never voted for a tax increase. Jon has voted for many. On immigration, I voted against amnesty for illegal aliens. Jon refuses to say -- he ducks the tough vote. But 90% of Senate Democrats voted for amnesty -- and these national Democrats now help fund Tester's campaign. And Jon -- a Senator can't vote 'maybe'. I'm Conrad Burns and I approved this message -- to congratulate Jon -- and begin the debate on issues that matter to Montanans. Thanks to Friends of Conrad Burns 2006 for paying for this message."
