A Dumb Question Repugs Spending $1 Billion - Are They Actually Paying People To Vote Repug ........
or is it just the power of the negative advertisement that they believe will influence people to vote Repug?
I read and heard that the Repugs will be spending $1 billion on this upcoming Nov election. I'm sure the Dems will try and match that. Bottom line - that's really a ridiculous amount of money.
There has been so much talk lately about negative campaign ads - one would think most Americans would be so sensitized to negativity that they wouldn't be influenced by it anymore. It would be spending good money on something that might not work as effectively as it has in the past. It seems like most people I know just tune-out any political ads now. So outside of actually paying people to vote one way or another - I just don't see spending that amount of money as being cost effective.
What a sin that so much money is being spent on this election. I know the stakes are big - but think about how that same amount of money can be put to good use and help people.
It seems like the Repug talking point of the month is "Obama is a job killer". I've heard a number of Repug talking heads say that just this a.m. Think about how many people could be put to work if that $1 billion being spent by the Repugs on this election were paid out in a living wage to unemployed Americans.
We really live in a sick and twisted society now where we know what it will take to turn things around and yet the Repugs will do everything possible to not let it happen.
