Why do I keep seeing links for GOP candidate contribs in my DU ads?
Edited on Wed Sep-08-10 12:07 AM by 0rganism
I realize there may be some standard generic feed that's providing these, but I'm getting a bit uneasy about it - not like I'm their target audience. Did the GOP just use some of their hundreds of millions in anonymous 3rd-party money on a huge internet ad buy? Also there's a lot of GOP-oriented issue advertisements.

I haven't seen a single one for a Democrat. - wait, scratch that - just got one for Alan Grayson. Much better. 1st and ONLY one so far.

Clarification - I'm not ticked about seeing ads, I'm concerned about the amount of them that are GOP.

1. The ads here have been explained many times. If you don't want to see them
use firefox and install the adblock add-on or donate.

2. If you bother to donate a few dollars you don't have to see them.
If not, be grateful that those ads are supporting your free viewing of this site and stop bitching!
