Byrne Spins The Truth In New Ad

GOP candidate for Governor of Alabama Bradley Byrne takes some hefty liberties with his new ad*"more liberal than you know": attacking fellow GOP candidate Robert Bentley:
But a check of legislative records by The Associated Press shows Bentley's vote was cast on a proposal made by Republican Gov. Bob Riley and supported by the state Republican Party chairman. It passed 96-0.
The vote cited in the text of the ad also occurred in 2004 - four years before the teacher mentioned in the ad went to prison.
*Footnote:  If you missed the ad click the link above as I posted it earlier.
