Speaking of right wing political groups.....
Vets for Freedom, a Republican group that was hatched out of the Bush White House, is sponsoring ads for former bank lobbyist and current Republican congressional candidate, Stivers. Vets for Freedom promotes fighting in Iraq f-o-r-e-v-e-r, just like Bush, McCain and Stivers. Isn't that just what we need? Should our country give up building our own bridges, roads, and schools so that we can send billions and billions of dollars to Iraq?
> Have you seen the new McCain "biographical" tv ad? Did you notice that 99% of the people pictured in the ad are white people? Does McCain know that there are other races/ethnic groups in this country?
*** Right wing newspaper, The Columbus Dispatch, provides an analysis of the latest Republican National Committee ad that is currently running in Ohio. Here is the analysis of the ad from The Dispatch (I've highlighted some important points):
The ad: "Balance," a 30-second television commercial
Producer: Republican National Committee.....
...The commercial accurately points out that McCain favors temporarily lifting the federal gasoline tax, which Obama opposes. Nearly every reputable economist says lifting the gas tax would save motorists nickels and dimes and not produce one new gallon of gasoline.
The commercial also accurately points out that McCain favors drilling off the coasts of California and Florida, while Obama does not. But many economists are not convinced that oil exploration off the coasts would dramatically reduce gasoline prices any time soon. Instead, oil prices have risen because demand has outpaced production worldwide. The commercial does not mention that McCain once opposed offshore exploration. And it probably is no accident that the commercial is being aired in Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin rather than Florida and California.
