Menze buys ads against Peterson

The first campaign ads of the season are hitting radio stations in western Minnesota. Glen Menze, who has unsuccessfully challenged Rep. Collin Peterson twice — losing by 50 points in 2008 and 40 points in 2000 — has made radio buys in Fargo-Moorhead on AM 1100 AM, and on 100.7 KKKV, and 94.3 KULO in Alexandria. Here’s the script of the two ads:

Hi, my name is Glen Menze. I’m running for Congress here in the 7th District. Let’s talk cap and trade. It’s a job killer. It will cost more for energy and gasoline. I vote no. Collin Peterson said no then voted yes like a spring crappie on a dock: Flip, flop, flip, flop. Sounds fishy to me. On health care, I vote no. We need a congressman we can trust. That’s why I approve of this message. Paid for by Friends of Menze. Help retire Collin Peterson by going to menzeforcongress.com. We need to elect a conservative congressman.
