Why?

*  Why won't Republican Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, discuss issues in his ads?  His first ad described his life as a paperboy and Boy Scout. Now Stivers has a new campaign ad that I thought was an ad for baby furnishings.  Apparently Stivers wants to show us pictures of his child, instead of discussing his views on privatizing Social Security, eliminating the 16th & 17th Amendments to the Constitution, abolishing various parts of the government, his waffling on cap and trade, why he is against consumer protection and stem cell research, and his pro/anti/pro/anti views on reproductive freedom.  Is Stivers just trying to play a game of distraction instead of delving into the hot issues?

*  Hilarious.  That is exactly how I'd describe Republican Pat Tiberi's campaign ads.  Tiberi, who has done absolutely n-o-t-h-i-n-g to create one job in his district, has  an ad that has him visiting various shops.  He seems so out of place and uncomfortable.  Why can't he explain why he didn't vote for the stimulus plan or health care reform?  Pat Tiberi just hasn't delivered anything for his district.

*  What group seems to be the most hated in our country?  Republicans!  Plunderbund has a very informative post about  Pollster.com.
