...and not in a good way. So much negative campaigns, so little substance. Being in Tennessee I have seen Republican ads that should make Republicans ashamed of themselves. Party of Lincoln indeed! Take a peek for yourself and remember some states (California, Virginia, parts of New York and more) have seen dirty tricks as well, usually race oriented.
I'd like to add a couple comments here: the "Death Tax" (more properly, and formerly, called the Estate Tax) only applies the the top .27 % or some such number. Do you make $1,500,000 a year? If you do, you will pay the tax. If not, you won't and if you are worried about the "Death Tax" perhaps you should call the IRS to learn more. They'll tell you the facts. Do the research yourself. Stop believing everything you see on the television.
Have too many guns? Huh? The concern isn't having too many guns - it's stolen guns, guns that criminals have that even our police don't have, people having guns that shouldn't, irresponsible owners that are careless with guns that get into the hands of children: these are what needs to be addressed. Ford recognizes that. So do the police.
Let's not forget the "Oh my God, he's coming after a white woman" fear. I wish we, as a society, were past this, but given some of campaign ads I guess we're not. Pulling Playboy into it is just senseless. I'm surprised Playboy didn't raise a fuss, considering they were being used in a racist ad. While I've never been to a Playboy Superbowl Party, I know someone who has, and it apparently is the primo party to be at. Celebrities, fantastic food, nonstop music, and actually there are Bunnies there, in bikinis that cover more than you'd see at the beach. It's expensive and crowded (usually 3,000 or so people), but it's no different than any other Bowl party, just more red carpet.
If this ad is what Bob Corker feels he needs to win, he should be ashamed.
You can tell Corker did not get my vote.
