Baby Bear's Porridge

How desperate is Gordon Smith? He is trying to defeat Merkely by running as a Democrat, which has opened the door to an attack from his right. He must be feeling the heat, because he is running attack ads against Merkely and Constitution party candidate Dave Brownlow. Apparently, Brownlow is "too liberal" for Oregon. That's right, the man who says this on his website is "too liberal":

Our Constitution authorizes the federal government to perform a very specific - and very limited - set of functions; provide for the common defense of the states, secure our borders, coin (real) money, regulate inter-state and international commerce, protect our inalienable rights - and very little else!

Sounds like a commie to me, Gordo. Thank God your delightful blend of voting with Bush 90% of the time, but coming out against the war five years in when, it is widely upopoular, but then still voting for funding and against withdrawal is just right.
