“…Conservatives wanted to remind people…”

The only people saying that Republicans aren’t people are conservative propagandists.

**Wake up, Republicans! **

In between making fun of Republicans for getting upset at stupid meaningless shit can we SKIP getting upset about stupid, meaningless shit?

So their ad company used some stock photos. That’s what ad companies do. It’s cheaper than hiring a photographer and searching for people that fit your needs. This is NOT worthwhile news. We should be better than this.

Kinda like the Republicans (or Koch Bros et al) being unable to find a person who actually lost his or her health insurance because of the ACA (or if they did, it would have been cheaper and better under the ACA).

In 1964 I thought I would never see a repeat of the paltry percentage of African Americans who voted for Barry Goldwater.

Then came Mittens in 2012, who topped (or is it “bottomed”) that, with three percentage points less than in 1964.

And the Republican “outreach” jalopy heaves and shakes even more as time goes by…

Why not? The stock photo companies have binders full of African Americans.

I’m fairly sure that’s actually the Wall Street Journal (Money and Investing), not the NYT. Which makes it that much more hilarious.

“Republicans are people too, my friends!”

Therefore…Republicans are really corporations!

Solved it!
(*And even if they ARE people, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t really horrible human beings.)

I don’t see folks on her getting upset. I see them making fun…and yes, this is worth making fun of republicans. People making fun of this is not on par withthe all out over the top outrage about President Obama wearing a tan suit or the coffee thing.

Damn…I wish they would play their initial ad for “Republicans are people too!” at the Republican Convention…The reactions would be amazing!

Republicans can be bought.

(that’s the subtext, right?)

It would be awesome if someone could find out the names of these people and see if they are registered as Democrats or Republicans.

“Republicans are people” is kind of pushing it when you consider Mittbot Romney…

Those stock images of people in that ad. What do you want to bet most of them are Democrats?

And how come there were no rich white guys? David Koch is NOT people?
