Ok you got me. Obama has been office for 3 years 6 months. Your too smart for me.

The Democrats still have full control of the senate and lost control of the House.

Quick sucking Obama juice. Its going to you head.

Why did he not do this the first 4 years? He had full control of the house and senate.

Your math is pretty far off the mark. Maybe you'd have benefited from those extra math and science teachers?
Democrats had control for the first two years of his term, but he does not control all Democrats, they can choose their own vote, and they often fought him on issues. After the first two years Republicans controlled house and senate and chose to spend every ounce of their political muscle fighting every one of his initiatives instead of trying to forge some kind of middle ground.

clean coal ha?


Yah that sounds like oxymoron to me.

>> ^bareboards2:

Some of it is hogwash, but all political ads have some hogwash.


This is terrible justification.

Honestly who cares, it's just a political ad with emotional music in the background to pull the heartstrings.

>> ^Quboid:


Why wouldn't it be?
An attack ad is one that attacks your opponent, rather than, oh I don't know, TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING COUNTRY.
What's that about creating jobs? No, not the other guy destroying jobs, you creating them. What's that about taxes? No, not the other guy not paying enough, you reforming them, or not. What's that about foreign policy? No, not how the other guy would or wouldn't declare war on Iran, what would you do? What's that about the environment? No, not what the other guy drives, what you will do about clean air. What's that about the deficit? No, not how the other guy will increase it, how you will decrease it.
Jesus Christ, it's July and I'm jaded by this fucking election already. I like Obama, relatively speaking, but this is negative campaigning bullshit and I'm rather concerned that people can't even see that any more. Imagine how pissed off I'd be if I lived in the US!


Agreed, it is by far the worst aspect of American politics. I think there should be an advertising regulation covering political ads that you cannot mention your opponent, all you can do is promote your own policies, although that would probably violate the first amendment in the US. Maybe just have the candidates sign an agreement?

Actually, it's because the original photo has styrofoam breasts and pregnant belly on the younger man. Seriously.>> ^Payback:

Their torsos are pixelated because gay men have huge penises and they are visible in those shots.

So what is wrong with the video? Seems fairly true, for a political ad.

>> ^NetRunner:

>> ^bobknight33:
@NetRunner Can't you see the beauty in this? It was brilliant.

It is a remarkably succinct reminder of all the batshit fantasies and paranoid delusions running through the minds of the average Republican voter.

All political ads should be in this format from now on.

Yeah, I figured it'd be a key sitting outside someone's house rather than a massive collection. But if they're this quick to dismiss the people's concerns with the FD, it's only a matter of time before they claim they're acting for the "citizen's safety" and give it to the PD.

But they didn't actually quickly dismiss them. I'm guessing you skipped a lot of the comments (which I can't blame you for doing), but obviously the video up top was essentially a political ad put forth by the opposition to the law.

If you want to see the whole thing (and unless you're nuts like me, you really don't), there's the full meeting of the final vote:

Note, that's a meeting that took place weeks after the meeting this video contains excerpts of, which was the 2nd reading of the bill (apparently they have to read & vote bills 3 times before it becomes law). In that 2nd reading meeting, the opposition makes themselves look like total morons. In the one I just linked, they put a pretty good face forward, but pretty much still wind up defeated (IMO) by the counterarguments.

And yes, Hitler was indeed invoked at one point.

They're saving up to but guns dog.

>> ^burdturgler:
The really confusing part is why did these black people agree to do the video?

>> ^burdturgler:

Normally I'm all for exposing shit like this, and I actually had this ready to submit yesterday, but I cancelled it because it's a web only campaign and I have no interest in helping it. It probably won't matter, I'm sure it'll wind up on cable news anyway, which is exactly what they want. Free cable ads for their PAC.


pssshhhhh that was the most convoluted "you beat me by _____" excuse EVAR!!!

I think you're both right and wrong though. This is a "grass roots" or "guerilla" internet campaign, however this won't sway anybody...if anything it'll be the butt of the country's jokes. Ignorant people will remain ignorant and the rest of us will be amused that these people have access to technology. Give the chimp a calculator and see how long it takes for him to type "80085"

The really confusing part is why did these black people agree to do the video?
