So when I think of it, I’ll post some campaign ads that caught my eye throughout the week. Here goes:
• Conservative Democrat Bobby Bright proudly announces that he votes 80% of the time with John Boehner. If you’ve given to the DCCC in the past two years, your money is going to someone like this.
I like how he says you can use numbers to tell lies, then he… uses a bunch of numbers.
• More Democrats are running ads increasing the profile of their opponents, particularly their unpopular stances on the issues. Here’s Richard Blumenthal going after Linda McMahon in Connecticut and her call to lower the minimum wage:
Blumenthal also highlights McMahon’s anti-worker business practices while a CEO, which leads us to…
• Barbara Boxer’s new ad against Carly Fiorina:
• Russ Feingold took a different tactic, playing up his support of the more popular aspects of the health care bill and painting his opponent Ron Johnson as someone dedicated to taking it away:
I wonder what would happen if Feingold ran an ad demanding a public option and making it his top priority in the next Congress.
• Finally, here’s longshot Democrat Scott McAdams in Alaska, positing his skills at being cursed at in Norwegian as a credential for the US Senate:

We need Feingold, but best not to bring the Public Option into this. Voters remember who stood up for the Public Option in the Senate: NOBODY.
Let me also say that if your Rep is Bobby Bright, you’re not voting for him you’re voting for Nancy Pelosi. So get out there and vote!
Patty-the-Dud-Murray is running an ad where the phrases “tax credits” and “tax cuts” are used twice and 5 times – I forget which number attaches to which right wing lie.
OF COURSE the fascists are running the biggest bunch of lies against her … prompting those Tomes of Truth from Washington Democrats and sternly wagged fingers and blubbering about mean meanies being mean … the usual worthless shit which was worthless for Dud-crap-kis or kerry or gore or mondale … BUT … it makes the upper middle class Dems all happy that they’re noblerer, gooderer, smarterer, and betterer, hencer more suitable for the Kennedy School.
yawn.
Maybe if Patty wasn’t a dud she’d realize that repeating right wing memes and lies does NOT inoculate you against right wing lies and memes?
ha ha ha. stupid me. expecting Dim-0-$hit$ to pull their heads out of their incompetent asses or $old 0ut A$$e$.
