The ad is in the video in between Chris Matthews of all people absolutely destroying Conway.

Figured some of you guys would be interested in this since, despite Conway saying otherwise, is essentially attacking Rand Paul's faith 30 years ago in college.

The funny thing about Conway harping on this club is that his own fraternity at Duke, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was shut down because of rapes and sexual assaults.

That ad is really classless and below-the-belt.

Still doesn't beat Jefferson calling Adams "a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman."

Personally, I'd rather there be no ads at all other than court provable facts.

Or the bit where Jackson's mother was called a whore, and he was said to be a mulattoe (which, back then, was a serious insult).

Not to mention "Ma, Ma, where's my Pa?" in reference to an illegitimate child that may or may not have been fathered by "Grover the Good" Cleveland.

Those must have been some brave attack add writers, they didn't call Jackson "Old Hickory" because he didn't enjoy beating people with a hickory stick, not even getting into his dueling record. I'd pay good money to see some of our current congressmen settle their differences with pistols at 20 paces, given the current state of things I can't see the results as being much worse than what we usually get.

It was also easier to remain anonymous back then.

I'd actually like to see the race in my district settled by a duel. My useless slimeball of a congressman is being challenged by a West Point grad.

I just wish I lived in a competitive district. It sucks living in a district where there is a 0% chance of incumbent losing.

I've got the same. My district has consistently voted exactly the same way since the Roosevelt administration.

My Senate race is competitive, but it's the initiatives this year that are interesting. I got to vote to force the state legislature to get a 2/3 majority on tax hikes, to repeal a sin tax on candy and soda, to dismantle the state's liquor monopoly and allow private sales, and against establishing a state income tax. I also voted against a county prosecutor who's trying to shut down an 80 year old rifle club because new suburban neighbors have been complaining about the noise... :roll:

New suburban neighbors are the worst. It damned near got the music shut down on Frenchman Street (think of it as the musician's street where all the bars have live music). Actually it did temporarily, then the rest of the city railed against it. Some freakin' people, man...they want a house in a certain spot so bad that they'll pay out the ass to try and get legislation moved to change the entire block around them.

Seattle's last mayor did that too, he got in bed with a bunch of downtown condo developers, then tried to shut down the pre-existing nightlife scene that was drawing complaints from the new tenants. Thankfully, we voted his ass out post haste.
