I appreciate the Koch Brothers financing political ads against the Dems who voted for ObamaCare. However, I'm taking an informal poll here. Tell me FReepers; if you think ads that end like this are effective: "Call her today, and tell her to stop spending taxpayers' money on ObamaCare." Is this effective or should the ad encourage voters to just get rid of her? They are running similar ads against Braley in Iowa and Udall in Colorado that say e.g. : "Tell Bruce Braley to stand with Iowa and stop supporting ObamaCare." Is that cool, or should it say: "Iowans, don't send Bruce Braley to the United States Senate; send him home."
To view the ad, click on the source, or cut and paste.

I am pretty sure PACs are limited in their verbiage from advocating for or against candidates. That leaves them with “Tell so and so to...” language, and prohibits “Vote the bastard out because...” ads.
It’s crap !!!
It attempts to “Tell” people what to think.
It’s negative, and therefore is in opposition, it has an agenda that is trying to sell something. Something that has an agenda and something that is trying to “sell” me something will be rejected as most people sense this.
I could take that video and reword the narrative in a way that would actually inspire people to the reject the authority of 0bamacare and embrace ones self.
We were discussing the Willie Nelson song: “The Party’s Over”. I loved Doris Day, but I never heard of that song.
It’s negative? Not so sure about that. It’s truthful and factual. But, if it is negative, even though people claim to hate negtive ads, political operatives will tell you: NEGATIVE ADS WORK. (That’s why campaigns and PACs keep running them.)
...the correct lyrics to THE PARTYS OVER are:
Call it a night; the partys over....
“... We were discussing the Willie Nelson song ...”

Well, you are still wrong...
Willie Nelson’s song by the name name from 1967:
“Turn Out The Lights, The Party’s Over”

Doris Day-1956-”The Party’s Over”

You must be a young whipper snapper.

Oh, and then there is this one:
Journey-1981-The Party’s Over”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVTD3c4Ub8s
“...I could take that video and reword the narrative
in a way that would actually inspire people...”

Let’s hear it, then.
The ads must be a terrible waste because the Des keep telling us.
