Political Ads

Post by MrCrowesGarden »

I've grown sick of seeing this commercial so much. (And maybe someone can help me out on this...are the Middle Eastern men actually prominent people, or is he just using pictures of Middle Eastern men to drum up fear?)

Nevermind that Lee Terry's been in Congress for 10 years and has had one piece of legislation passed (renaming a post office).

I don't ever watch commercials, so they don't bother me.

I don't ever read Leroy's posts.

Hence why I never vote "shaddup leroy" on those polls.

That ad is delightfully vague and uninformative.

A vote for Lee Terry is a vote for lower gas prices. You don't want higher gas prices do you? Then the funny looking dudes win and we lose.

The best part is that Terry, who is on the Energy Committee, was challenged to a debate on energy by his opponent about two weeks ago, and Terry never replied.

I honestly haven't seen a political ad this year. But I guess they aren't airing on FSMW or during Nocturnal State.

I see McCain ads on FSNMidwest all the time, some Obama. It's a swing state after all.
