With less than 3 days until the election, I was hoping that maybe the ads would start be either fewer or at least not as chock full of out and out lies or completely hypocritical garbage. But watching the Kansas State football game tonight, I was reminded that no matter what I may hope for, the GOP will continue to lather it up right until the last second.
It was a simple enough 30 second ad for Todd Akin. It started out saying that, unlike his opponent, he was against runaway federal spending. Mr. Akin, you can't even start out with a simple truth, can you? No one in Washington and almost no American at all believes that this deficit spending can go on indefinitely. And that includes your opponent. But where to make cuts and what revenue increases might be need to help balance the budget, that's the rub. So, was the rest of the ad about his other ideas? No, of course not. You wouldn't want to tell people about your desire to get rid of the minimum wage, or to state that at conception is when the country considers a fetus a person, which will make most birth control pill illegal, would you? You wouldn't want to remind voters that to you, things like Pell Grants and student loans to be like cancer, would you? Well, at least you didn't lie.
But then the ad stated Todd Akin would gladly back the Romney agenda, where Claire McCaskill, the incumbent Senator, would do all she could to stop the Romney agenda. For this, I say half lie and half hypocritical garbage. No Mr. Akin, you wouldn't back the Romney agenda, you would expect him to follow your hard right Tea Party platform, and your agenda. So this is an out and out lie. And you have the audacity to complain about McCaskill not supporting Romney after the entire GOP has spent the last 4 years refusing to work with President Obama? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Then, to finish it off, the ad states that it was paid for by some GOP PAC and the GOP Senatorial Committee. Yes, it's the same GOP Senatorial Committee that in August said they refused to give any money to the Akin campaign due to his extreme views. Nothing like telling lies from start to finish throughout the entire ad. Hypocrites to the end, I guess.
For the 1st time in his own eating history Gov. Christie had to eat a little crow this week.I never thought I see him the week before the elections welcome a man he defamed in August at the RNC.President Obama that got in HIS chopper and came to a grateful group of Hurricane Sandy victims check in hand doing what he is suppose to do.I have one question. Where is your check Mr.Romney? Your new best friend Gov.Christie was counting on you.You have millions can't you help your boy out?Hey Mr Trump not so fast.How about helping the city that made you rich with a generous donation.In fact all you rich folks do something decent for a change.Write a BIG check to the Red Cross.You can write it off at the end of the year but at least this time it will going to people who really need the help.
