Ya think maybe it's because the Republican voters are already going to vote for them? Hmmm... This politics stuff is hard. :-)

False advertising, huh? Hopefully the repubicans will see the ads and be disenchanted with and stay away from the polls. BTW - Democrats are too smart to fall for the lies.

It's the swing voters that have the power. Fickle bastards.

You know, Maggie, you could have been helpful and courteous, and just posted the first sentence. But, no, you had to add that second sentence, trying to show that you are superior. Is your inferiority complex so huge that you must take every opportunity to try to show how much better you are than everyone else? This kind of post is why conservatives make me want to puke. It's not so much the ideology as it is the personality of the typical right wing asshole.

Don't you think it's more than obvious that the purpose of political advertising (which is rather expensive) is to get more people to vote for the candidate, rather than to preach to the idiological choir?

Maybe that is kind of an obscure concept...look at the chairman of the DNC these days (speaking of assholes). Not to mention the Senate race in Connecticut.

I wasn't addressing the content of your first sentence, my post was directed at your snide second sentence.

My snide second sentence was mocking how obvious a point it was. If you expect a Cellar without mockery you'll be sorely disppointed. Especally in view of how much a pot you are to that kettle.
