Yes on 2 Goes After Bailey

The Pro-Casino Campaign has released a new ad attacking CasinosNo! spokesman Dennis Bailey for comments he supposedly made at a "Rising Tides" (I assume they mean A Rising Tide) training seminar.

The ad claims the group has a tape of the event, although only a transcript of the exchange is available on their website and no audio is played during the ad. The ad highlights the following quote from Bailey discussing how his group won the last casino referendum as an example of him admitting to scaring voters:

"Fear always overcomes common sense, always. Casinos talk about millions of dollars a year and then we come along and say there's crime, prostitution, whatever."



I imagine in a few months, at another training seminar, Bailey will be discussing how he won this election by annoying the opposition until they focused their time and energy on him instead of winning the vote.

This ad comes on the heels of a controversy about one of the group's other recent ads.

This ad certainly goes to show that Mr. Bailey is a liar and a fraud when it comes to this issue. He says so himself. Simple as that...

Bailey

I am so tired of Dennis Bailey preaching down from his Ivory Tower in Cumberland county telling the rest of us WORKING Mainers how WE should live. Hey Dennis, whats your yearly income? I bet you don't have to worry when your oil tank gets low- I just spent $250.00 of a $300.00 paycheck filling my oil tank! Ever live on $50.00 a week? Doubt It! Maine NEEDS jobs! Maine NEEDS the $50M YEARLY that a casino will provide- not to mention the various businesses in the surrounding area that will get a shot in the arm from a developement of this size. It's time the people of Maine take a stand and look past the scare tactics, and stop letting the 2 most prosporous counties in Maine (Cumberland & York) decide the rest of our fates! It's in your hands- make a choice - VOTE YES ON 2 on NOV. 4th!!!!!
