This Is Why The Democrats Are Losing.

Heres an example of the kind of commercial that the Obama team is airing. Not only is this ad disgusting, but it also represesnts the Obama base: Young, stupid women. Rush Limbaugh refers to these Obama worshippers as morons. He couldnt be more right. Yuck.

KD Note: I just had to comment on this video that The Tamminator found (honestly doesnt she do a great job in picking up these things? Im grateful she keeps on top of these ads).
One of the courses I took in college for my political science major was a class on American political ads which went all the way back to the colonial period. This was in the late-90s, so I think the last campaign we studied was Clinton vs. Dole and I believe the last ad we talked about wasnt even an ad, but was the news networks repeatedly playing images of Dole falling off a stage at an event and cementing the idea in peoples heads that he was a doddering old man who was weak and mushy. Which is sad, because Ive met Dole and hes a very nice guy and a HERO for his WWII service but he was a terrible candidate to run against Clinton.
Ive never seen a political ad as disgusting as the video above. I actually thought the mocking of Dole for his age was sick in its own way. There is no faster way to get on my bad side than to mock anyone for their age or say someone is too old to run for office (especially not a woman because its usually just men that clowns do this to). There were some pretty disgusting things done to both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin in 2008 when the Left was pulling out all the stops to attack them in service to Barack Obama but I dont think any of them made me stand there with mouth agape thinking this is so sick the way I do when I see the above video.
This is sick.
People affiliated with a presidential campaign actually made a commercial thats a double entendre and they dont care who will see this. Thats amazing to me. Democrats really crossed a line here, but I thought they had done that during their convention in Charlotte. This is the kind of stuff that the party would have vetoed back in the days when the Clintons ran things it not only would not have been allowed to air, but no one associated with it would have been used for any PR work in the future. This ad is just bad on so many levels and really leaves me with an icky feeling.
Speaking of which tonight I was checking to see what the Leftists I monitor on Facebook were up to and I really wanted to screen grab some of the best things they are saying but theyre surprisingly quiet. There was some bluster after the last debate, with them thinking that Bathhouse Barry had won and they were crowing that the polls would suddenly show this and that miraculously (for them) all of a sudden Americans would want Obama in office another four years. There was some busy-work on their part posting Big Bird, Binders, and Battleship/Bayonets stuff but it was half-hearted. None of these posts got very many comments or likes. It seemed pretty perfunctory.
So, I gave it a few days to see if the lefties would perk back up but all they are talking about is Halloween. A lot of gay guys are going as the cast of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, which is some reality show about a little beauty queen in Georgia with a bad attitude and a pet pig named glitzy. Gays who arent going as that are just dressing up as jockstrap or speedo clad Olympians and a few are going as Big Bird. It looks like this is a year without a lot of big things to dress as, so many are just wearing generic drag. A few black gay friends here in Chicago are doing tributes to Miss Whitney Elizabeth Houston, which I think is great .and one troupe is doing Whitney through the years (which unfortunately includes a Being Bobby Brown/Crack is Whack Whitney but also includes an angel Whitney too for her home going).
No political stuff, really. Well see what happens as things get closer and Ill have to see what goes on at the Halloween parade itself in Boystown but you would not really know theres an election happening on Facebook.
Here and there, someone will say something bad about Romney and some gays are making fun of Ann Romney and saying she looks like The Bride of Chucky but more often than not someone will leave a remark (thats allowed to stand on Facebook) saying It feels like Obama is going to lose in two weeks.
