This type of advertising will win us elections!

I already donated to one about Mitch Mcconnell. I'm going to give to this one too.

Too many people do not realize how much their reps affect them beyond the local level. They need to be informed of things like their reps who blocked job bills and tried to take away their health care.

1. THIS is the kind of advertising that leads voters to stay home

Too many people don't realize bashing the opposition does not promote a positive image for themselves.

[nikibatts]

3. Huh? That is exactly how the GOP wins. STAY WOKE!

[AJT]

4. I agree.

A billboard about social security and madicare would be better. If a 50 year old whose been working for 25 years is informed his social security is going to be privatized and his medicare will be a voucher THAT would have an effect. "Those people" not getting medicaid won't matter.

28. I kind of wish

that my Social Security $$ could have gone into a 401k. Just sayin'.

[AJT]

29. Social Security is guaranteed income, not a crap shoot.

Many people near retirement when the crash of 2008 happened had to work for a number of extra years to make up for the drop in the value of their 401k because of the stock market loss.

[MichMary]

30. That can happen

but it is unlikely. People who rely on social security for their retirement income live in poverty. People who have invested in 401k's and other plans often have millions in their accounts by the time they retire.

10. The GOP wins when voters stay home

Ads that turn off voters lead to GOP wins. That is why they do it.

[BannonsLiver]

27. Yeah, it gave me a chuckle as well.

Where do people come up with this stuff?

[Maraya1969]

9. That's all the GOP does!!! Remember the presidential election?

[loyalsister]

11. And voter turnout was way down from 2008 and 2012

Low turnout = GOP wins.

[Dem2]

17. God damn it

Please delete your post.

23. thanks for some reality

12. Remember the "Swift Boat" ads against Kerry.

This type of negative can be pretty effective.

[loyalsister]

13. As I said

They uglier politics gets the better- for republicans, that is.

[thesquanderer]

19. Worse, it is the kind of ad that leads some people to vote for Ryan.

A lot of people think throwing people off Medicaid is a GOOD thing. This could practically be a Ryan campaign ad.

[dawg]

24. If that is honestly what most voters want, then it should happen.

As much as I want an adequate safety net, I want representative democracy more.

But I don't think the majority of American voters are really that cruel.

[AJT]

2. Sadly Ryan just got a deal for a Foxconn factory to be built in his district.

He will easily win reelection.

[SCantiGOP]

18. Yep, a $10 billion campaign contribution

[AJT]

26. It would be ironic if the pay and benefits were such crap

that only "brown scary" immigrants would take the jobs....

[ck4829]

25. It's ironic really, these people would protest and maybe even destroy a mosque if it was being built

But a factory with friggin' suicide nets around it is OK.

[guillaumeb]

5. It will, but only if it motivates the heretofor unmotivated 41% to actually vote.

[uponit7771]

6. Yeap

[Chasstev365]

7. This is more like it!

[TeamPooka]

8. Feels more like a "My name is Paul Ryan and I approve this message type ad"

[Hulk]

14. And every week they attempt to screw the little guy further into the dust...

...they need to ADD a billboard to mark their destructive intent to the poor and middle class.

Just absurd that the voting percentage is so pathetic in this country. Rile them up and motivate their apathetic asses to the polls in 2018.

[BigmanPigman]

15. I also got an email for this and the other ads.

I think it is effective. I have been contributing small amounts but I am probably going to be bankrupt in 18 months and have to use my 83 year old parents' savings to pay for my necessary surgeries before I die due to the ACA repeal. I wish I could chip in more. So many worthy groups need help while the GOP has money coming out of their ears. In a way I am glad I am going to die and don't have to deal with this shit anymore. It will be a relief. I called 17 senators today alone and will continue to resist my heart out any way I can while I have the ability. I hope people keep it up and don't stop fighting...RESIST! Peace.

[ProudLib72]

16. Way too nice

Needs to just state the fact, "Ryan wants you dead".

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. This exact kind of thing is what the DNC

needs to be thinking outside the box about. Yikes what an utter disappointment. To me anyway. Flame away...I don't care. We are missing the most golden opportunity of all time...an infinite amount of fodder and no ads.

[Raastan]

21. Democrats. DO win elections...

If we can keep the Russians out of them.
