Democrat Ads Attack GOP Over Scandal

[cal04]

More Democrats went on the attack Friday with campaign ads linking Republican candidates to the Mark Foley House page scandal while GOP candidates moved to distance themselves from embattled Speaker Dennis Hastert.


On Saturday, Democrat Patty Wetterling, a candidate for an open House seat in Minnesota, will continue the attack in the Democratic response to President Bush's weekly radio address as the party looks to reap political gains in coming midterm elections.

"Foley sent obvious predatory signals, received loud and clear by members of congressional leadership, who swept them under the rug to protect their political power," Wetterling said in the prerecorded address. "We must hold accountable all those complicit in allowing this victimization to happen."

"What is going on in Washington? ... Deborah Pryce's friend Mark Foley is caught using his position to take advantage of 16-year-old pages. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert looked the other way," says an ad for Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy, challenging seven-term Rep. Deborah Pryce, R-Ohio, the No. 4 Republican in the House in a particularly competitive race.
