Do you support radio ads which attack Republicans?
Edited on Fri Oct-06-06 09:45 PM by Eric J in MN
For example, do you want this ad on the radio?

The group behind these ads is the Blue America PAC.

You can fund the Blue America PAC at this Act Blue Page.

I gave $100 tonight.

2. Yes, I hope these radio ads with that message...
...will be effective.

Please give to the "Blue America PAC" which is producing radio ads attacking Republicans:

3. That is a great ad...
because it points out what is wrong. It isn't really an attack ad per se, it actually has kind of a happy go lucky feel to it. WOW! We need more of that around the country. Unlike most of the ads which I hate, whether they are Republicans or Democrats, this I wouldn't mind because it is so catchy. GOOD JOB!

5. You are the greatest! This ad is the greatest!
The Democrats should run this ad for every candidate in every distict. I had to watch it a couple of times.

6. I am proud people in my party came up with this ad...
it is something that someone can take pride in, while on the other hand I just don't feel that people should take pride in vicious and petty attack ads. I wouldn't really call it that in fact, it is such a wonderful step in the right direction. All ads ought to be along these lines.

7. That's not an attack ad - i mean that's catchy
I guess any ad that criticizes your opponent is an attack ad, but i usually think of it more in the lineso f personal attacks that are unfair, mean-spirited, or don't have much to do with the issues -this ad is all about the issues, and the song is catchy.

I sent them $50.00

9. I Am Committed To Personally Sponsor A Certain Number of Ads
I was at a guest at a local political meeting the other night. One of the items on the agenda was a discussion of running information ads on local radio stations. I agreed to pay for 10 spots. What the hell, someone's got to do it and we're doing all right so lands on me. That's the way it should be.

This is identical to the Hastert one. How many different candidates are using it, do you know?

12. The ad is customized for at least 3 Democratic candidates...
Edited on Fri Oct-06-06 11:51 PM by Eric J in MN
...at YouTube.

After the ad ends, the option of viewing variations is displayed in the main video box.

They're similar, but not exactly the same.

17. If they work and don't backfire, sure. Why not?
It's not like the fucking republicans are taking the high ground, and it hasn't been hurting them at the polls. Sex scandals, sure, but not mudslinging.

18. I don't think a song asking radio listeners if they've "Had Enough?"
...will backfire.

Support the Blue America PAC for more "Had Enough?" radio ads.

20. Probably not, but stranger things have happened.
In the right spin, who knows? It just depends on who needs to distract from what and when, and everything's game. You're probably correct, however.
