Virgil Goode has released a new false and misleading
television ad attempting to distract voters from his
questionable record and suspect dealing with
convicted criminals. Goode’s ad states that a recent
advertisement from Al Weed is “not telling the truth
about Virgil Goode,” and erroneously claims that local
newspapers agree. Al Weed’s ad states that Goode took illegal money from Mitchell Wade and Richard Berglund, and then wrote an earmark that rewarded those men with up to $15 million in wasteful Pentagon contracts. These facts have been consistently reported over the last two years, and are well documented at www.goodefacts.com. “I was looking forward to Mr. Goode’s response, as I thought he was going to come clean on his dealings with Mr. Wade and Mr. Berglund. I was disappointed to see that he, once again, underestimated the intelligence of the voters in our district and skirted the important issue of his record,” Weed said of Goode’s new ad. “Goode is recklessly distorting reality here, and should be ashamed. The citizens of the district have had enough of his manipulations and will get the honest representative they deserve when they elect Al Weed on November 7th,” said Weed spokesman Curt Gleeson. A correction was made to Weed’s ad when it was found that federal prosecutors decided to charge Richard Berglund with only a misdemeanor. The ad was quickly pulled, fixed, and put back on the air correctly labeling Berglund as a criminal. “I admitted my mistake and apologized to Mr. Berglund. The voters of this district are still waiting for Mr. Goode to apologize for his dealings with corrupt contractors. I imagine we will have to wait for a long time. This is not behavior fitting of a congressman,” Weed said. |
