(34,658 posts)They have a clip of her saying "Damn Right" and they play it 3 times during the ad while they are saying she's farther to the left than Pelosi and Obama. Of course there is no context for the clip and it makes her look harsh. It just annoys the HELL out of me every single time I see it because it has no content, its just nasty.

(2,391 posts)We're getting all Obama commercials, now. I haven't seen a Willard commercial in months. I'm amazed by this, but thrilled!
Back when Willard still had commercials airing here, I'd have had to pick "I live in a red state so I'm used to the crazy." I don't miss that, at all!
I'd love to see Obama do well in Texas!

(5,070 posts)If we watch one program while taping another, we just hit the mute button.

(47,675 posts)Although I did figure out how to get EVERYTHING to run through the amplifier and equalizer out to the primary speakers. It takes some switches, but it works. That includes a high-end turntable, a dual cassette deck, and a CD changer - well, and a receiver of course.
I barely have the chance to watch videos posted on DU. How the fuck do people have time to sit in front of a boob toob all day watching the same shit repeated every ten minutes? If I want that, I'll go to a bar - at least THEY have draft beer!

(25,563 posts)For congress. They both look the same: same age, glasses, slightly receding hairlines. Both of their commercials have cowboy themes.
The commercials come back to back.

(1,990 posts)it's been non-stop for months. Sometimes the same ad 2 or more times during a single commercial break.
I can't stand to sit through the ads anymore so I make sure to mute the tv and get up and do something else for a couple of minutes
can't wait til it's over

Have to bite my tongue when watching local news though
My mom tells me they are absolutely obnoxious and she uses her DVR to sift the wheat from the chaff.
