I'm seeing nothing but lying Romney ads during this football game.

Are football fans mostly Republicans? No, I should think not. After all, I'm watching.

I'm guess it's because this station is out of Hampton Roads, VA, which is a more conservative part of the state.

I am dismayed by the lies in the ads. People (like my sister, who posts Romney stuff all the time on Facebook) believe this shit, but it is all lies. Every last claim in those ads is a lie.

Probably the most offensive ad was by the NRA, accusing Obama of destroying freedom. All by himself apparently. What a horrendous organization that. They are a hate group, as far as I am concerned.

I take it back. I did just see and Obama ad and sometimes ads for some of the Dems running in VA. But it is 90% Republican ads.

Obama and any Dem super packs have pulled back on your respective states? Here in NJ you would think there is no election at all. I saw one ad during the game for Senator Bob Menedez.

In Cleveland, I think the last Republican who won the Mayoral race was Voinovich. Highly Democratic. Yet the Clear Channel station is manned by Republicans. (Used to have a "moderate/maybe slightly liberal" as a Saturday 6-9am show, but he was cut because CC was losing money over all). RWer local in the 6a-9a. RWer in 9a-noon. Rush Limbaugh noon-3. RW blowhard and really disgusting t*rd 3p-?.

Now, Youngstown, which really should be more Republican (less "urban" but still somewhat "urban&quot has lib 6a-9a, and 3p-6 or so. Rush & a local RWer 9a-3p.

I remember the afternoon bser saying that he was in Las Vegas, and he ran across a few people he knew were "Union bigwigs" ... who joined him in the comps, but "didn't leave a tip". No names, no way of verifying.

He claims he "left" the Dems when Clinton was being asked about Lewinsky ... but he was an ass long before he went to the c.c. station ... I remember him being an idiot on WNCX in the late 80s ...

Blue country doesn't have to endure them. Now, RCCC attack ads against some fine Congressional candidates in my area is another matter.
