Republican National Party Drops $3 Mil in OH
I have a front row seat I tell ya, but I do think by November, we're going to be tired of ads. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer Openers blog:
With Barack Obama poised to raise and spend money unencumbered by federal campaign finance limits, the Republican National Committee says it will help remedy any imbalance suffered by John McCain -- starting with a $3 million ad campaign to run in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to an online news alert from Roll Call.
The independent expenditure ad campaign will highlight differences between the candidates' energy proposals. It will take advantage of the fact that the RNC has vastly more money than the Democratic National Committee: $53.5 million on hand for the RNC, compared with $4 million for the DNC.
"Following Barack Obama's decision to become the only major party presidential candidate in history to not adhere to campaign spending caps, the Republican National Committee has begun an independent expenditure campaign in accordance with FEC regulations," RNC I.E. consultant Brad Todd told Roll Call in a statement. Todd's firm, On Message Inc., produced the ad, which Roll Call says will run from this weekend through July 15.
It's a nice effort, but the problem is that the average age of the TV viewer is 50. And while they may be the most likely to actually vote, it appears that there is a whole new demographic that has quit watching TV. I just hope this isn't a portent that the GOP is fighting the last war with the last war's weapons.

WAS OBAMA BEHIND THIS? DID SWIMMER KENNEDY, HANOI KERRY, PIG PELOSI, COWARD DEAN, RAT REID HELP? THIS STUPID BITCH SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR TREASON. SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BOOED OFF THE STAGE. WHY DIDN'T THE MAYOR STOP HER?
This just PI$$ES me off! Black National Anthem? This is really getting out of hand. THERE IS NO BLACK AMERICA. IF THEY WANT A BLACK ANTHEM --- THEY NEED TO MOVE TO A BLACK COUNTRY. LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO IMUS — SHE SHOULD BE SENT TO AFRICA — FOREVER. HOW DARE ANYONE DEGRADE OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.
DOES THIS MEAN WE'LL HAVE A RED ANTHEM, A BROWN ANTHEM, A YELLOW ANTHEM, A JEWISH ANTHEM, AN ASIAN ANTHEM?
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.

I have been told by WWII Vets that during WWII no person dared speak against the government. Once Americans found out they could speak against Wars, our probability of winning any is very slim. If the enemy sees that his enemy's people do not support the war they see victory at hand.
I CANNOT BELIEVE THE SIMPLICITY OF SO MANY AMERICANS!! ALL THEY CAN SEE IS THE FRONT OF THEIR FACE. I HAVE BEEN AROUND THE WORLD INCLUDING THE PLACES IN THE NEWS. TO THEM WE ARE THE SINNERS OF THE WORLD AND WE ACTUALLY ARE BASED ON THEIR VIEW OF US VIA HOLLYWOOD. ALL THE DRUNKS, MANY DIVORCES, BIRTHS OUT OF WEDLOCK, AND EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS. WHEN I WAS THEIR, THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT TEXAS WAS ALL COWBOYS!!
SO ALL YOU SIMPLE MINDED AMERICANS: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WALK AWAY FROM YOUR PROBLEMS IN LIFE? ONLY McCAIN HAS ANSWERED THAT QUESTION. I KNOW THE ANSWER! THEY DO NOT GO AWAY! THEY WANT THE DEMOCRATS TO WIN!!! THEY KNOW THAT ONCE WE PULL OUT WE WILL HAVE LOST THE WAR!! THAT MEANS THEY WILL HAVE TO COME BACK ONTO OUR SOIL!! MARK MY WORDS!!!! IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. EVERY TIME I ASK A SIMPLE MINDED DEMOCRAT, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN WHEN WE PULL OUT THE ANSWERS ARE VERY SIMILAR!! I HAVE NOT THOUGHT ABOUT IT. I DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT. THAT IS THEIR PROBLEM NOT OURS!! WHAT SCHOOL OR COLLEGE DID YOU GO TO? DRUGS, FREE SEX, DRUNKS, CHEATING, AND DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO GET AHEAD! I DID NOT HAVE THAT OPTION!! I EARNED MY EDUCATION THE HARD WAY AT A FEDERAL SERVICE ACADEMY SECOND 2 NONE. I DID NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO GO TO A PARTY SCHOOL. CLASS WAS MANDATORY AND THE TEACHER TO STUDENT RATIO WAS VERY SMALL FOR ALL OF YOU DEMOCRATS ON THE SIDE OF THE TERRORISTS, THE BOY SCOUT MOTTO IS BE PREPARED!! I SUGGEST YOU START PREPARING YOURSELF FOR ANOTHER ATTACK!! THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO ONTO OUR SOIL!! WE WILL HAVE TO CHASE THEM BACK TO THEIRS AND FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES!! MARK MY WORDS!! I CAN SEE THE BIG PICTURE MUCH FARTHER THAN THE FRONT OF MY FACE!!

Folk's just look at you shoes soles or the tires on you velhicle an then realize why that most of the black people are voting for Barack Obama. Most of them do not care anything about the issues or who is the best candidate with the most experience, knowledge, integraty, honor, or respedt. They are voting for him just an only just because he is half black of half white whichever you way you see him.
Of course a lot of the liberal democrat's are voting for him, of course no wonder why the have a donkey as their emblem, huh, ha!
Freind's if you don't want to see this happen, then we had better get it together a quit feuding amoung ourselves, an vote for a very good an decent man as Sen. John McCain is in Nov.!!!!!!!!
