Amyway guy unloads two negative ads

Press Release DeVos Unloads Double Barrel Negative Attack DeVos spends over one million dollars on two TV ads lying about Governor Granholm’s Record LANSING- Today GOP gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos continued his onslaught of negative TV ads by releasing two ads in less than twenty four hours that distort and outright lie about Governor Jennifer M. Granholm’s record. In the ads, DeVos lies about the Governor and Honda Motor Company and has Republican actors criticizing the Governor. After promising not to go negative, DeVos has now released the first three negative attack ads of the campaign. “Dick DeVos doesn’t realize that this is an election not an auction. Only someone without a plan and without a clue would spend over one million dollars in less than a day on two negative attacks. DeVos already had the record for the most money spent on a Michigan gubernatorial campaign, but now it looks like he will have the record for the most negative attack ads,” Brewer said. “DeVos’ ad about Honda is an outright lie and his next ad clearly uses right-wing conservative actors to unfairly criticize the Governor. We have already seen DeVos pull or change two TV ads because he got the facts wrong and they were reprimanded by state newspapers for it. I’m certain we will see more of these distorted ads from DeVos.” DeVos’ ad “Grand Turnaround” was severely criticized by the Grand Rapids community because of its claim that Dick DeVos was the cause of the city’s turnaround. Even Dick DeVos’ father, Rich said the ad used a “little political license.” The ad was pulled shortly after the public criticism. In DeVos’ first negative ad “Newspapers,” he misquoted and used misleading statements from the Detroit Free Press and the Lansing State Journal. Both papers criticized the DeVos campaign’s use of the articles for an attack ad and had a version of the ad pulled from the air. In DeVos’ Honda ad he misidentifies WJR as 950AM instead of WJR 760AM or WWJ 950AM. “In his ads, DeVos fails to mention that the Governor is the only candidate with a specific and comprehensive economic plan, and he also fails to disclose that by cutting 1,400 Michigan jobs and shipping jobs to China, he is part of problem facing the state,” added Brewer. Full rebuttals to both of DeVos’ new attack ads are included in the links below. “Left Out” Ad Rebuttal “Leader” Ad Rebuttal The Amway guy is begging Granholm to hit him with the facts, I don't know how can this fool talk about jobs when he sent them out of the state and how he can he talk about ideas where he hasn't presented one in any of his ads just cotton candy rhetoric and false attacks. Hey Michigan Republicans I know it's asking a lot because of the tiny brains you guys have but how about telling your guy to come up with a plan.
