Vulnerable Democratic Representative Embraces Bush In Latest Ad

[Freddie Stubbs]

ABC News' Amy Walter reports:

We’ve seen plenty of Democrats in tight races trying to distance themselves from President Obama. But one Democrat, North Dakota's Rep. Earl Pomeroy, is taking this a step farther by actually embracing President George W. Bush.

Pomeroy is locked in what’s shaping up to be the toughest contest of his 17-year House career. He faces GOP state Rep. Rick Berg.

In one his first ads this cycle, Pomeroy highlighted his vote against cap-and-trade.

"No. I told the president and Congressional leaders no, on cap-and-trade legislation which would raise our electric rates and cost us energy jobs,” says Pomeroy in the ad, “It comes down to North Dakota common sense. It's not about party, it's not about politics. It's about doing what's right for North Dakota. I'm Earl Pomeroy, and I approve this message."

1. Uh, wasn't George W. Bush in favor of cap-and-trade too?

As I recall, Bush went all over Europe telling them how good cap-and-trade was.

I'm a big liberal myself, but I'm no fan of cap-and-trade. I too think it is a bad idea for the middle class. Sorry, because I know that a lot of good liberals don't agree with me. Still, if Bush was for it, doesn't that tell you something?
