All that begging - Wasted!

You remember the fundraising drive the Democrats were having to put up billboards smearing Rep. Jean Schmidt?

At least for now, stopped dead in their tracks:

Company Blocks Ads Critical of Ohio Rep.

Lamar Advertising Co. of Baton Rouge, La., refused to put up two billboards in Portsmouth, Ohio, and another in Cincinnati with a picture of Schmidt and the following message: "Shame on you, Jean Schmidt: Stop attacking veterans. Keep your eye on the ball — we need a real plan for Iraq."

Turns out the folks at Lamar have a conscience:

Lamar's Huntington, W.Va., regional manager, Mark Watts, rejected the billboards criticizing Scmidt as a personal attack, said Hal Kinshaw, Lamar's vice president of governmental affairs.

And the reason they have a conscience? They're not moonbats:

In 2004 elections, it gave Republicans 70 percent of its U.S. House race donations and 60 percent of its U.S. Senate race contributions.

Thank God the folks at Lamar aren't those greedy heartless Republicans the left is always telling us about. They might have placed profits above morals and common sense.
