The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s misleading new attack ad attempts to hide perennial candidate John Kennedy’s history of pay-to-play politics. The NRSC is the same organization who four years ago accused Kennedy of “furthering [his] career through state funds.” Unleashing his partisan attack dogs against Sen. Landrieu does nothing to hide John Kennedy’s record of taking campaign contributions from people with business before his Bond Commission. The NRSC’s new ad is an overt attempt to mislead Louisiana voters into thinking Sen. Landrieu has taken money from Jack Abramoff. She has not. But the NRSC’s chairman, John Ensign, has taken $4,000 from Abramoff. In fact, the NRSC — which is funding John Kennedy’s campaign — has accepted more than $430,000 from Jack Abramoff’s clients.
