In a campaign of "dezinformatsia über alles!", Wetterling has adapted to doing what democrats do best in order to win: Lie through their teeth. From Mark Drake:

Team Wetterling's Latest Outrageous Attack Ad

• Latest DCCC Distortion Attacks Bachmann For Being Too Tough On Sex Offenders

"Patty Wetterling's smear machine has been leveling baseless attacks for months now and the DCCC's latest false attack ad on sex offenders is no exception. Wetterling knows she can't win in the Sixth District so she and her Washington, D.C. attack dogs are throwing mud at Michele Bachmann to obscure Wetterling’s far-left record.
- Mark Drake, Republican Party of Minnesota Spokesman

• DCCC False Attack: “Who would vote against a bill that would put repeat sex offenders behind bars for life?”

Reality:

· Bachmann voted in favor of an amendment that would have provided a life without parole sentences for all offenders who commit first degree criminal sexual conduct, including first time offenders and also provides indeterminate sentences for all other sex offenders. (Minnesota Senate Journal p. 3880, 4/7/04)

· Bachmann voted in favor of an amendment that would have provided indeterminate sentences for sex offenders on their first offense, which keeps sexual predators behind bars until a review board determines them fit for release. (Minnesota Senate Journal p. 3883, , 4/7/04)

• DCCC False Attack: “Who would vote against a bill that makes operating meth labs close to children a crime?”

Reality

· Bachmann voted for an amendment that included mandatory minimum sentences for those offenders who attempt to manufacture meth, restrictions on selling meth precursor drugs, consecutive sentences for those who manufacture meth in the presence of a child or vulnerable adult, and the creation of a meth lab cleanup revolving loan fund to help counties with meth lab clean up. (Minnesota Senate Journal p. 3899. 4/7/04)

• DCCC False Attack: “Who would vote against a bill letting police alert parents when sex offenders move to neighborhoods?”

Reality:

· Bachmann also voted in support of an amendment to increase funding to improve the predatory offender database to track sex offenders, including $1.5 million in FY05 for special agents and support staff to enforce predator offender compliance, scientists, and equipment to process DNA and other critical evidence, and to improve the predator offender database. (Minnesota Senate Journal p. 3852, 4/7/04)

But I guess desperate times call for desperate measures, eh Ms. Wetterling? I suppose if lying and obfuscation are the only ways that you can gain power, then have at it.

Just don't bank on any of the voters buying it.
