Someone once said, "Two looked out through the self-same bars. One sees the mud, the other sees the stars." The Matheson campaign should be ashamed. TV political ads depicting Mia Love as an unattractive African-American are disgraceful. She is a lovely person, a good neighbor, a highly respected mayor of Saratoga Springs and undeserving of the characterization shown.
Jim Matheson says, "I approve of this ad." How sad — disparaging any fellow human being in this manner. But such seems to be politics as usual.

I must have missed the ads depicting Mia Love as unattractive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I think she is a beautiful person, even in Matheson's ads, and even though I disagree strongly with her politics. Don't the ads More..
Unattractive African-American???? I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. This is a strange letter.
An example of partisans who can dish it out, but they can't take it. Welcome to modern day political campaigns, the offspring of Newt Gingrich and his henchmen.
