Stations Rescind Surrender To Sestak After Finding Ads Claims Legit

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce ads pointing out Congressman Joe Sestak’s support for job-killing economics and his lock-step voting record with San Francisco limousine liberal and crony-capitalist Nancy Pelosi are back on WPGH and WPMY in Pittsburgh after station management investigated the complaints by Sestak and found them unfounded.

Sestak, who represents Pennsylvania’s 7th District, is the Democrat nominee to replace Arlen Specter in the U.S. Senate.

He had objected to the ads because they claimed he voted with Pelosi “100 percent”  and he had voted against an amendment on the DISCLOSE Act, a bill which would impose restrictions on campaign financing.

Bill Miller, the Chamber’s senior vice president of political affairs, noted that Sestak voted entirely with Pelosi on every bill of substance including the final version of the DISCLOSE Act .

If you want to be technical the Washington Post says Sestak has voted with Pelosi 97.8 percent of the time.
