Rep. Walt Minnick is a Democrat. For all who haven’t heard, I’ll say it again, Walt Minnick is a Democrat.

In the 2008 campaign, none of his signs, pamphlets, news and radio ads, or even his campaign website stated this simple fact. Does Mr. Minnick hide his political party affiliation out of embarrassment or from the need to conceal it from Idahoans not disposed to vote for his party and its plans for America?

I think the latter since it has turned out that “conservative” Walt Minnick has voted along Democratic party lines 70 percent of the time over the last two years, and that President Obama’s Organizing for America group has been dispatched to help Minnick in next month’s selection.

Vote Walt out, not just for his political record, but for his dishonesty as well.
