Proof that Jeff Merkley is gaining fast in his quest to be the next Senator from the great state of Oregon increases by the day. In the latest, the Oregon GOP goes after Merkley’s supposed campaign finance violations and then puts up a pathetic website attempting to smear Merkley’s tax record. More below the jump.

The first item today is an ad put out by the NRSC opposing Jeff Merkley’s appearance in some issue ads sponsored by the OR D’s:
The ad makes referrence of a website (http://www.musttaxmerkley.com/) which supposedly proves Merkley has a pro-tax increase record. Some facts:
1. The newest article on this page is nearly four months old. Oh and as I was writing this, their site went down…
2. If you go to the “Jeff Merkley’s Record” page, they give two examples of how Merkley supposedly supports higher taxes and bad budget policies The second is his vote for a renovation of the State Capitol, which was supported by both parties. Trust me when I say that the pipes were in bad enough condition that the water that came out of them was brown, not to mention other problems the building had.
Enjoy the smell of fear folks, they’re reeking of it.
Oh yes we can!
Wow they really got him on an issue that people care about…..not!
What a boring ad. I hope the NRSC keeps wasting all their money.
Notice also that language. They like poking us with that name.
