A Letter to Hunt Downer
The following letter to Hunt Downer was penned by a voter within the 3rd Congressional District and is being sent to both The Daily Iberian and The Houma Courier in response to an election mailing by the Downer campaign. As you can see, and as the person that penned the letter most eloquently states, Downer is dishonoring ALL of the National Guard veterans that did not see active duty service, but served their country nonetheless.
Gutter politics has reached a fever pitch within the Downer campaign and is being fueled by his astute campaign manager, Buddy Boe.

Today I received the color announcement in the mail and also saw the TV spot from Hunt Downer stating Jeff Landry was being dishonest because he is “intentionally deceiving people about his service during the Gulf War.” The brochure shows a comment where Landry only drove a jeep for a general officer while at Ft. Hood. So what!!! He did what he was told to do during his active duty call-up which was to serve our nation.

Poor Jimmy? No, poor PCA! I receive these negative pieces of junk from Downer on a weekly basis and they sicken me. This man is supposed to be a major general? He ought to be running for dog catcher because his shoes smell like the trask he throws out of his campaign's mouth. Hunt, fire your campaign manager, sit back and relax on your two state retirements and retire.

It is a shame that Jeff Landry and his entourage has lied and called Hunt Downer pro-choice and a number of other things. Hunt encouraged a young lady about 30 years ago to not abort her baby, and he would adopt the child. That child has been the daughter of Hunt Downer now for 30 years. It is sick when the people (political groups) throw their endorsements toward someone who lies about another candidate to win votes. Jeff's foundation has started to crack already. Sure.

Sure. Jeff has done his homework to get all these endorsements from the republicans. But so did John McCain. Obama laughed when McCain won the nomination. Most of them are as blind as bats. The Republican party had better wake up before they make another huge mistake. Hunt Downer used to be a Democrat. So was Ronald Reagan. Hunt is in good company. If I was in his district, he'd get my vote. Wake up Republican Party. Get your head out of your butt! Stop voting politics over principle. That is why you are losing big over the last 10 years. Same ol' politics. You claim to be a Christian party. Then why don't you vote like Jesus and live like Jesus! Here is another case in point. It is a shame that the Republican candidate who won the primary on the Aug. 28th election for Senate is a known whoremonger. Oh Lord, please clean house. I dare The Daily Iberian and The Houma Courier to print my remarks in the same column as the story about Landry.
Please get a grip. It's obvious you have a bias toward Downer, which is fine, but if he was that qualified, why did he not carry more than just Terrebonne in the last election?
I'm not sure if this even needs to be said, but Hunt Downer is no Ronald Reagan.

Interesting how Landry supporters are crying over a response from Downer that states fact. I have family members in the military, those who did not serve in Iraq or Afganistan are my heros just as much as those who did serve in the war zone. But those who did not serve are always quick to point out that they did not serve in a war zone because they feels like it takes away from those who did. Landry is pandering for votes and puffing up his resume. He has run a negative campaign and apparently he can't take a little criticism? Jeff Landry is no Ronald Reagan either and he is proving himself to be a good old boy politician who will lie about anything to get elected.
Landry never said he was a combat veteran. He did deploy as part of Desert Storm.
Frankly, the fact that Downer has made this an issue shows what a vapid, content-free campaign he's running. And that's why he's trailing so badly in the polls. He should have gotten out of the race after his disastrous performance in the primary.
How is pointing out your opponents voting record considered a negative campaign?
