Delegate Brian Moran spoke at the Richmond Obama HQ on Thursday to call for an end to the negative lies and distortions coming from John McCain’s campaign and the Republican Party of Virginia. He spoke the morning after automated phone calls full of distortions were launched against Virginia families, after a nasty ridiculous direct mail piece showed up in mail boxes, and on the heels of the RPV Chair’s nationally-noted negative remarks comparing Senator Obama to the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.

“I am disappointed that the Leadership of Virginia’s Republican party has fallen to this low. But it’s exactly the same Karl Rove divisive politics that we’ve seen for the last 8 years,” said Delegate Moran. “The Republican campaign is trying every attempt possible to change the topic and avoid talking about the failed economy. On the economic issues that matter to Virginians, John McCain is promising four more years of the failed policies of the last eight. His answer on the economy seems to be ‘stay the course’.”

Moran cited a non-partisan report that showed 100% of McCain’s television advertisements are negative. He announced that the Campaign for Change will be activating their grassroots network to contact the Republican Party of Virginia and urge them to stop the politics of division and fear.
