Another really bad web video from Kay's team...

The person that makes these "Tricky Ricky" videos has to be one of the very worst video makers in the admittedly short history of political web videos.


For example...


In politics people hate hate hate personal attacks that are not based on issues... these videos have Kay's disclaimer on them... they are official campaign videos... and far too many of them are personally very negative. What is the point of even attacking Rick for this mama bear comment. It is a little peculiar of a comment but it is really the kind of quirky thing people like about Texas politicians. If anything it is endearing, and the video showing him making funny faces is just a below the belt attack based on nothing but personal hatred against Rick. Really in many ways this video sums up Kay's entire campaign rationale... she doesn't like Rick, so you shouldn't either.

Kay right now is running a very negative campaign under the radar and getting away with it by playing the victim card... boo hoo Rick is a bully, poor me, and all of that. I am sounding the BS alert on that one. She is running a mean spirited personal campaign and because the issues are just not on her side she is resorting to distortions and lies and this kind of garbage. She misses the vote on ACORN, gets called out for it, so she sez, "oh yeah, well you took a picture with ACORN 5 years ago." The facts about that picture show that nobody opposed the bill coming out of the legislature. It was not a controversial bill, it did not give any money to ACORN, and nobody knew what ACORN was 5 years ago... but Kay doesn't care about any of that.

Compare those terrible videos to one of Rick's "negative" videos which is well done and full of facts...

Videos on the internet are usually seen by only a few hundred people, but they do influence bloggers and journalists and other influential people. They are also seen by far more people than traditional press releases and research hits...

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
