Ads on DU for Repukeblicans candidates.
Shocked that this loony lady from Georgia is using DU to try and and raise cash for her campaign using the endorsement of Sister Sarah loony tune from Alaska. . Let's donate some cash folks so DU doesn't need cash to run Republican ads on this site.
Wa Do RedTail Wolf

2. See The Star???
Even though I don't see it (it's probably an Ad Sense Google Ad), I'd gladly take this lady's money. Firstly, it helps pay some bills for this place to keep it open to those who can't afford to become a member. Also better to see that money squandered on a site like this then into TV ad. As is said...membership has its privilidges...

3. There's more pukes here than anything else.
Why shouldn't they advertise here?

4. Donate. Put your money where your mouth is.
Then you can turn off the ads.

5. Some....
like me cannot afford to donate at this time. The ads are google generated and a source of income for the owners of DU. They do not bother me in the least as the money goes to this site. Also, with Firefox you can block them anyway, without a donor star.

11. You can donate as little as $5 and turn off those ads
I'm sick of these threads. Just whining.

15. Again.....
some people cannot afford even that. Take my case for example, I have hit the 'donut hole' in my medicare prescription coverage. This means, even though they are deducting for the coverage every month, I will not get any more prescription coverage until I spend over $4000 out of pocket, or until January 1, 2011....whichever comes first. So, buying my meds takes up the majority of my check....leaving me $372 a month for light bill and food and any other household expenses. Try living on $93 a week, if my home wasn't paid for.....I would be homeless as there is no way I could afford rent.

So, yes, $5 is a big deal to me.....it means I can eat.

6. Do you know that if you donate to DU you can turn the ads off?
If the ads bother you, maybe you should consider that option. DU administrators can't control which ads pop up. They could turn them all off but then they would lose a source of revenue.

7. Click on it
Sign petitions. Join mailing lists. I have -- many times. I've also signed up my grandmother, my dog, two cats, and my backyard chickens.

9. Got a new computer a few weeks ago
and before I had a chance to put in my username and password on my first DU visit on that machine, I saw an ad for a Repuke, as well. I wonder if they know that the ad company they're paying is wasting their money here.

Those of you who say you can't afford to donate, do us a favor. Click on the Rethug's ads, it will encourage the ad agencies to put more of their ads here. You'll be helping us, and costing the GOPer more money, that's coming out of the pockets of the rich and/or stupid, anyway.

10. Google must be pretty good at this
Here are the ads I see in your OP. It's almost like they customized it just for your post.

13. Actually, I think Republican adds on DU are a great idea.

Every penny the Republicans spend on putting an add on DU is a penny they can't spend on putting an add somewhere where it's likely to garner them support. The more we can persuade them to spend on adds on DU, the better.

14. With unlimited corporate cash to buy elections
They have enough cash to put ads on every website all the time.

Each mega corp makes more in profits each month than working Americans can scrape together in a year. Now they're free to buy elections with all that stolen cash. Thanks to that fascist SOB Roberts and the best congress money can buy.

17. It's okay to show Republican ads on DU.
It's not okay to suggest that the Democratic president is too republican.

Got it?
