Bucks Dems hit Fitzpatrick in new ad (VIDEO)
“I have no interest in becoming a career politician.”
That’s what former Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick said last week, and in a new web ad, the Bucks County Democratic Committee is blasting him for it. The video has no narration, and features a timeline of Fitzpatrick’s political history, which began in 1990 when Fitzpatrick ran for state Representative.
FROM pa2010.com
Bucks County Democrats on Wednesday criticized former Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick for claiming he has “no interest in becoming a professional politician,” unveiling a Web video that juxtaposes the comment with 20 years worth of electoral campaigning as both a candidate and a political operative.
“It’s hard to believe, but Congressman Fitzpatrick, a guy who has been running for political office for 20 years, claimed that he has ‘no interest in becoming a professional politician,’” Neil Samuels, deputy chair of the Bucks County Democratic Committee, wrote in an e-mail sharing the video (embedded above) with supporters. “Problem is, Fitzpatrick already is one. In fact, that’s all he’s ever been.”
Fitzpatrick’s original comment was made in pledging to serve only four terms if elected, including the one he served before being unseated by Congressman Patrick Murphy (D-8) in 2006. He told the The Morning Call that it’s “ironic” being called a career politician when Murphy hasn’t made the same term-limit pledge.
As an insider political news Web site, we have absolutely no problem with career politicians here at pa2010.com Central—heck, they make up a big chunk of our readers. But we’ll give the BucksCo Dems this one: It’s tough to think of a guy in his 40’s who’s spent two decades in politics as anything but a professional politician. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
