A new television advertisement from Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) may be the most inaccurate spot of the 2006 campaign season.

It's the latest desperate gambit by Santorum, who has trailed his Democratic opponent, Bob Casey Jr., in polls for several months, often by 10 points or more.

1. Santorum has the nerve to run an ad like this when he is the

second largest recipient of money from Big Oil. How about the accuweather fiasco.

Santorum is known as one of the most corrupt senators. He's also certainly one of the most hypocritical.

2. it's amazingly hypocritical

he cites seven donors of Casey's, none of whom actually gave money to Casey's Senate campaign, but two of whom gave money to Santorum's senate campaign.

3. Like ALL Dem's need to, Casey has to hit back hard, Bill Clinton never

let them get away with lying...he struck back immediately...The War Room !

5. he should run one of those ads

that has santorum's ad small and in the corner, and casey sitting in front of the tv saying,

"Rick Santorum is lying again. He can't run on his record, because he's voted with the president 96% of the time, and that has created a record of failure, both at home and abroad. So he's running this ad (points) that says that my campaign has some terrible people donating to it. The funny thing is, none of the seven men mentioned in the ad has donated to my campaign, although two of them have donated to Senator Santorum.

Isn't it about time that Pennsylvania was represented by someone who doesn't have to lie to get his way? Tell Rick Santorum that he ought to run on his record, instead of lying about mine. Pennsylvanians deserve that much from their elected leaders.

I'm Bob Casey, and I paid for this commercial."

8. another idea for a commercial

I don't have the skill nor equipment/software to do this.. so I'm putting the idea out to whoever wants to run with it..

-------


run santaroums attack ad "silently" in the back ground with a voice over..

Rick Santorum paid $x.xx to produce this attack ad. Rick Santorum paid $x.xx to actors to be in this attack ad. Rick Santorum paid $x.xx to air this attack ad.

Money well spent? Maybe not since none of the named persons have made contributions to my campaign, but two of them did make contributions totally $x.xx to Rick Santorum's campaigns.

If Rick Santorum is wasting his own money on false attack ads - how well do you think he's managing YOUR money in Washington?

haven't we had enough?

6. Tarring and feathering sounds like an excellent idea.

I can't think of a more deserving recipient than Santorum.

Welcome to DU! :toast:

7. "Modernizing" the weather service MY ASS!!

Someone needs to do an ad showing the text of Insanitorium's weather "modernization" bill which would gag the NWS from filing weather reports while showing the damage from Hurricane Katrina or whatever local tornadoes or blizzards that people might remember in Pennsylvania and end by asking "Just whose side is Rick Santorum on anyways?"

THAT would be enough to sink him by itself.

11. I just found one that tops that - an ad in MD saying Dems founded KKK

Black Republicans Run Racially Tinged Ad

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=2474012&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Sep 21, 2006 (AP)— A national black Republican group is running a radio advertisement accusing Democrats of starting the Ku Klux Klan and saying the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican, a claim challenged by civil-rights researchers.

Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, the black Republican nominee for Maryland's open Senate seat, disavowed the ad Thursday as "insulting to Marylanders". He said his campaign asked the Washington-based National Black Republican Association to stop running it.

At an event in Baltimore, Steele said, "I don't know exactly what the intent of the ad was" but that "it's not helpful to the public discourse."

The ad does not mention Steele or his Democratic opponent, Rep. Ben Cardin.

12. the difference is

that's a third-party group trying to "Swift Boat" the Democrats.

In this case, it's Santorum doing the lying -- which apparently is what he does best.
