On vacation, watching KRNV, the NBC affiliate, 11:00pm news just had 7 (seven) Rmoney ads in a row

in one commercial break!!! Nevada being a swing state, I just experienced what I had only read about, the pug's saturation bombing with lie after lie in their ads!!! Thank God I live in SoCal now... and NYC before... This swing state stuff blows... The "he's a nice guy but" ad, two different Medicare lying ads, and some other ones where I think they just used the N word and left it at that. (not really but it seemed that way) OMG, it was like 7 minutes of lies!!!

My only point is that these lies repeated WILL have an effect. It reminds me of "The Godfather 2" when Michael is in Cuba and speaks about the guerrillas who blew up a Captain of the guard at a checkpoint... To Hyman Roth's dismay he says: "but they can win"...

Like Michael Corleone, I am worried that these pug's can beat us despite our strength...

Not to say that we are Batista, just saying that we should win but these lies....

More, Welfare ad, did you know that Rmoney is gonna put the WORK BACK IN WELFARE!!!

More, Rmoney, created thousands of jobs, Obama wasted 800 billion on stimulus

And a Shelly Berklee pug ad and then a actually Berklee ad... WOW...


More, a Obama (finally) women's rights ad... FINALLY...

Wait, its 11:35 pm, and Leno just came on and I swear the last 35 minutes contained 20 minutes of ads...

it'll have the effect of people getting absolutely disgusted with seeing his smirking Father-Knows-Best mug plastered across their TV screens.

Familiarity breeds contempt, after all, and if they're running campaign ads back-to-back like that, then it's not just familiarity, it's like he's in your shower, using up all the hot water and farting loudly.

We have a whole bunch of really angry, really stupid people here. By far the most common bumper stickers and yard signs here are for Ron Paul, what does that tell you?

Obama's voters are not stupid and there are more Obama voters than repub/libertarian/tea and they will come on out in mass and vote in November.

Meg Whitman thought she could buy an election in California and Jerry Brown with zero money kicked her ass back to the corporate world in a rout.

I look forward to the day after election, and we never again shall see on tv, Mitt's ugly face and badly dyed hair, and he goes back to the corporate world.

Jerry Brown (zero dollars) kicked Megabucks Whitman's ass in Calif.-money doesn't always win
