That's nothing. In 2002 Senator Max Cleland of Georgia lost his re-election bid after his opponent ran an ad morphing his picture with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, calling him soft on terrorism. Cleland is a triple amputee from the Vietnam War and was awarded the Silver Star.

One of the companies we compete against is supposed to be a "woman owned company" and they do get preference for some government jobs. The company my be owned buy the wife on paper but she is never there, and knows ZERO about the operation of the company. Legally she owns the company, but it is a farce. That is not the same order of BS as the dude in the video above.

Hard to beat this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clayton_Williams

During the campaign, Williams publicly made a joke likening rape to bad weather, having stated: "If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it" (the statement had previously caused controversy amongst women's groups over the same statement by basketball coach Bob Knight, and caused WABC-TV weatherman Tex Antoine to be fired after saying that sentence, ironically, on a weather report after a story about a child rape).[3] Also, during the campaign, allegations were made that as an undergraduate at Texas A&M, Williams had visited the Chicken Ranch, a brothel in La Grange, and the Boy's Towns of Mexico.[4][5] As a result of his reported comments, Williams was occasionally parodied, such as in the mock political ad, "Satan Williams," which appeared on Dallas/Fort Worth public television during the 1990 campaign season.[6]

Williams eventually lost the race despite leading Richards by 11 points as late as August[7] and outspending her by almost 2-to-1.[8] During his concession speech, Texas television stations showed Williams glibly telling supporters: "I've got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that we lost; the good news is that it is not the end of the world." When the crowd urged him to try again in four years, he told his supporters, "I may be an Aggie, but I am not crazy."[

We lost a contract a couple of years ago because my wife and I own the company 50/50. If I changed it to 51/49, we would have won the contract.
