Anyone else's airwaves being bombarded with these "New Majority Agenda" ads?


"Tell Washington to stop running up the national debt blah bullshit blah......"

"I supported Obama's agenda but he started spending on the national credit card blah unbelievable bullshit blah......"


They are on at just about every commercial break here in the metro Detroit media market. ...... And in typical right-wing "whatever-the-name-of-our-organization-is-the-opposite-is-true" fashion, this astroturf organization calls itself New Majority Agenda.

Here in Ca I must watch channels that don't have any political ads as of yet anyways. The only one I saw was 2 weeks back of Measure G No vote to allow pot shops to stay put, but the yes vote won. A No vote meant they stay, and a Yes vote meant they leave.

inundated by them. Once again, Josef Goebbel's 'Big Lie' strategy plays out. And now the rethugs have enough $$$ thanks to Citizens United to poison the airwaves 24/7. It may well be enough to convince enough of the low-information voters (of which we have an abundance in the I-4 corridor) to vote against that 'Ol' spendin' Obama).

I'm afraid the mute button on my remote isn't going to survive this election season.
