why?


1) the man is smoking!
2) the song, 'i am america'
3) cain's patient break into a smile, showing his beautiful set of teeth

i find all of this to be fascinating because it's being put out as something that is supposed to be taken seriously.

whaaa! Super Bowl ad, no less..... by former Republican Rep. Pete Hoekstra, who’s attempting to unseat Democratic U.S. Senator, Debbie Stabenow from Michigan:


where Hoekstra doubles down with a related themed website... bad Chinese, bad! :lol:

Not everyone agrees that the ad is "the best ever."

Since the ad hit the airwaves Sunday, criticism from even Republicans has intensified.

The Associated Press quotes GOP consultant Nick De Leeuw skewering the commercial as "appalling."
Republican consultant Mike Murphy tweeted Sunday night that Hoekstra's ad was "really, really dumb."

Steve Frye, the online editor of the Oakland Press, came to a more dramatic conclusion, tweeting Monday morning, "Sen. Debbie Stabenow, let me be among the first to congratulate you on your reelection." link

I can't say I'm that impressed with it either. It's too bad, because there's more than enough material from Debbie Stabenow to make a great commercial. I'd start with this...



Hey Debbie, do you know where Jon put the $1.2 billion dollars he can't find! :)

and "best ever" doesn't necessarily equate to good/right/accurate

Not really.

You gotta know that if Carl Rove is going bat-shyte crazy over it, you betcha!

And it's Karl Rove. Define going crazy. You mean writing something about it? :rolleyes:

It is only pro Obama because we know Mitt Romney wanted to let American car manufacturing die. There is nothing wrong with the car makers who said if they got a bail out they would succeed pointing out that they did what they said. Republicans are just mad because they know they were wrong.

That was a good Superbowl ad. This was my favourite!



Is it just me or does Matthew Broderick look almost exactly the same as he did when he made the movie? :blink:

Complete nonsense. I suggest you re-read Romney's position of a structured settlement that would have left GM and Chrysler in much better shape than they even are today.

Anyways, if you wanna truely give credit, it'd be to George W Bush, who extended the first auto bailouts. :)

It's good to know you guys are such fans of his!
