Rove, Chamber ads widely debunked as false or misleading

Citizens United... the gift that keeps on giving.

Most destructive court opinion ever.

Please, give details about how Citizens United overturned a century of law and precedents to allow corporations to donate to campaigns. :cuckoo:

Or, maybe you could act like an adult, educate yourself on the real issues involved, and stop spouting nonsense that makes you sound like rdean.

And the GOP will fight to keep the advantage that this decision gives them. As for the ads, lies worked for Rove and Bush, why won't they work here?

You do know that McCain-Feingold was a bipartisan bill, and that it is widely supported by all incumbents, both Republicans and Democrats. The reason it passed was to prevent people from being able to spend money of their own to campaign against incumbents, not to prevent people, or corporations, from donating to those same incumbents. Yet you keep blaming the Republicans because you do not think for yourself.
 
LOL, now the whiny lefties are whining over ADS being run. OH, and it WAS ONLY Judge Roberts who voted on this I see.

good gawd, how much more can we all take.

Interesting to see a conservative so easily dismiss foreign money being used to influence elections. That's quite a principled stand.

Look at your own party before you start pointing fingers at the GOP.

This is a Red-herring. Remember George Soros dumb-ass?

An in addition to George Soros..lol...a few other major contributors to the DNC:



Goldman Sachs donated $98,500 to the DNC this year, and they list six offices in the Peoples Republic of China on their website. Where did THEIR money come from, and are they SURE it wasn't foreign money?

Blenheim Capital Management donated $106,200 to the DNC. Their HQ is in the U.K., as is most of their business. They have an office in Washington, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, and Kuala Lumpur. Where did THEIR money come from, and are they SURE it wasn't foreign money?

Lakeshore Trading donated $121,575 to the DNC. They're a precious metals broker headquartered in South Africa that conveniently allows their overseas clients to buy/sell through tax-free Switzerland. Where did THEIR money come from, and are they SURE it wasn't foreign money?

Thank you Judge Roberts for your boneheaded decision in Citizens.

Rove, Chamber ads widely debunked as false or misleading

...

Here's a partial list of debunked ads hitting Dems from the Chamber, and Rove's groups, Crossroads GPS and American Crossroads:

* A Chamber ad was yanked from two Pennsylvania TV stations after they determined its claim about Pennsylvania Senate Dem candidate Joe Sestak and Nancy Pelosi was false.

* A Crossroads GPS ad slamming Sestak over health care reform and Medicare was skewered by FactCheck.org for its "wild exaggeration" and dismissed as "badly misleading."

* A Crossroads GPS ad attacking California Senator Barbara Boxer for voting to cut Medicare spending by $500 billion was rated by Politifact as "barely true" and "seriously misleading."

* Two Chamber ads attacking Boxer for favoring freshwater fish over jobs were dismissed by Factcheck.org, though with some caveats, as follows: "Strictly speaking, both ads are untrue."

* Also in the above link, FactCheck.org slammed Crossroads GPS for making similiarly misleading claims about health reform in an ad targeting Kentucky Dem Senate candidate Jack Conway. FactCheck.org's conclusion: "Don't let Crossroads GPS steer you down the wrong road."

* An American Crossroads ad blasting Harry Reid with various claims about unemployment and the stimulus was dismissed by the Las Vegas Sun for "egregious" stretching of the facts and "gross distortions."

* That same ad was also ripped by FactCheck.org for distorting the truth and by Politifact as "false."

* An American Crossroads ad hammering Ohio Dem Senate candidate Lee Fisher over job creation and tax hikes was skewered by the Cleveland Plain Dealer as "incomplete" and "mucked up with distortions."

* An ABC affiliate in Colorado found that a Crossroads GPS ad attacking Senator Michael Bennet made a misleading claim about Bennet on government spending and conflated opinion for fact on the stimulus.

And so on.

...​

Barbara Boxer did vote for obamacare and a 960 billion dollar cut in medicare to fund it. so you're an asswipe as usual. Tough shit for ya. Your still gonna lose in Nov.
