I'm Jack Ass. And I approved this ad.

[hexola]

I noticed PA Republican Nepotite (is that a word?) Billy Shuster is using the same "I approved this ad" line that BUVIL is using in his presdential campaign.

Are other Pubs using this wierd slogan...?

1. I think it's a standard thing to get the lowest rate...

...things have changed with McCain-Feingold, but the idea was (at one time, at least) that you got the cheapest political rate if your voice was somewhere in the add...I rather like Ï'm george bush, and I approved this economy

2. It's a CRF requirement...one we all voted for.

The 527 was a loophole they missed :-)

Thank God moveon has latched on to the loophole!!! :bounce:

3. McCain-Feingold

All of the federal candidates are using it (or a variation -- the exact wording isn't mandated). Basically, it's intended to separate the candidate ads from the PAC/issue ads. Also, the theory was that if someone had to say, "I'm Jack Ass and I approved this message," they'd be a bit nicer, because who wants to go on record as saying they approved calling their opponent a kitten eater?
