At this stage of the game we have to assume that 2nd Congressional candidate David Boswell condones a second set of television advertisements that say his opponent, 2nd Congressional candidate, Brett Guthrie’s company sent jobs to Mexico.

As you might recall several weeks ago the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee released a television advertisement saying that Guthrie’s company, Trace Die Cast, was shipping work to Mexico that should have stayed in Kentucky.

We took issue with Boswell at the time and now we take issue with him and the DCCC again for running a more recent advertisement saying that Trace Die Cast shipped work to Mexico. In the advertisement, Guthrie is heard speaking and a caption said that he sent jobs to Mexico.

Mr. Boswell, this ad is simply not true and you have had plenty of opportunity’s to condemn these ads and tell the DCCC to stop running them, and instead you have sat idle while they continue.

That is a real shame.

During debate’s with Guthrie, Boswell has said he didn’t know the context of the advertisement, but he himself continues to appear in the ads.

This could suggest that he is working in lockstep with the DCCC.

The truth of the matter is that Trace had a contract to make a part and ship it to Mexico. All of the work was done at Trace Die Cast by employees of the company and shipped to Mexico and the part didn’t come back to Trace Die Cast.

Mr. Boswell, who has been in politics for a long time, should no better than this. He is allowing the DCCC, which knows nothing about the 2nd Congressional District in Kentucky, to run these ads that distort an American success story embodied in the Guthrie family.

Why doesn’t Boswell contact the DCCC and tell them to stop these inaccurate, distorted ads?

One can only speculate that Boswell condones the advertisements and is willing to ignore these distortions if they aid his campaign.

It is past time for David Boswell to admit that this advertisement was wrong and inaccurate and be a stand up guy and tell the DCCC to pull it immediately.

" Why don't you stop crying like a baby everytime a negative ad comes out and start owning up to your faults Guthrie? Kentucky's 2nd district needs a fighter not someone to roll over and cry for daddy Guthrie. "

" Speaking of coming clean, when is stand up guy (sic) Lil Brett going to tell the truth about his self-touted military career. This "artillery officer" was fond of the spit and polish, march in a parade version of the military. However, when the call to arms came, this toy soldier turned around and went south on his fellow soldiers. In short, while the rest of the Army was fighting in Desert Storm, Lil Brett got a two year early out and went to "work" for daddy. I guess handing out jobs to non-citizens was preferable to serving in Iraq with citizens. "
