Discussion: GOP Ad Portrays Female Candidate As Just A Pair Of Legs In Heels

Discussion for article #227200

Since Andy Tobin does not live in Arizona’s First Congressional District, maybe he should get a suitcase and move to the district he hopes to represent.

I would love just once to have a private conversation with any Republican who’s grandstanding on the debt limit and ask him or her yes or no whether the government should pay the debts Congress incurs with its votes or whether it should crash the national and global economy. Yes or fucking no. No talking points and no bullshit. Yes or no. Just once, I’d love to call them on that crap.

Body parts, a beast of burden, and baggage. Pretty much sums up the whole Republican view of Women. They aren’t actually persons.

Guess this means that the DCCC can run one about Lindsey Graham.

(Wearing comfortable low heeled pumps, of course)

They STILL don’t get it in terms of what women (and men who care about women) find offensive.

They wear their Neanderthalism like a badge of honor.

The “baggage” game works both ways…

Andy Tobin: Too much carpet baggage.

Andy Tobin: Too much tea baggage.

Andy Tobin: Too much colostomy baggage.

It used to be called the “boomerang effect” when ads created an effect opposite of that intended.

It might be interesting to see if this ad boomerangs.

A few years back a candidate in a local NV election accused his opponent of mud-slinging. To dramatize it in a commercial he featured himself standing in mud, grabbing it with his hands and throwing it at the camera. “This is what my opponent is doing!”
Somehow the ad got him, and not his opponent, tagged as the mud slinger and he lost.

Well, these all look like good reasons to vote FOR Ann Kirkpatrick.

Yes, I think these are probably better looking legs than Ann actually has. Probably worth a few votes.

Don’t insult neanderthals by comparing them to Republicans.

They’re trying to appeal to the lower half of women’s anatomies, the part without the brain.

mea culpa

Never happen. Their infallible dogma conjures a third option, the one where, contrary to both law and software, the government just pays bond holders and no one else out of current revenue and the markets don’t treat defaulting on all of the government’s obligations to pay them as an event of default triggering F-ratings and flight from bonds.

There was a study recently that showed the huge number of anti-Obamacare ads, especially toward the end of the enrollment period, had a huge positive effect in getting people to sign up. You just couldn’t turn on the TV or radio without hearing Obamacare, Obamacare, Obamacare, and people started to realize that there was something really there.

But would she be gropeable in a Senate cloak room?

Dems would like to thank the NRCC for proving what Women have been saying about the GOP = they are out of touch with women and their actions / values.

Wow… No words. Given a little time and space, the righties just cannot resist pulling their heads out long enough to show their a$$ to the rest of us.
