(45,319 posts)And while I oppose Citizens United and all, the fucking facts just do not support this meme that spending equals winning. I personally think that people need to stop repeating that lie, for it is false and it serves the GOP. Spending does not equate to victory. Ask Meg Whitman. Ask many others. Buying lots of ads does not mean that which you advertize succeeds. It simply does not. If it did, no product would fail, no film would flop, they'd just buy success. It just does not work that way. Too many ads is a huge pitfall, worse than none at all in fact. It is particularly damaging to candidates who are known to roll in money.
It is time to put aside the magical and false notion that one can purchase enough ads to sell anything, or that the most ads wins. Frankly it is so daft a notion it makes me ill seeing people buy into it. It people would just sit and think about products outside of politics, and advertizing campaigns and note that many products and services come out each month with huge ad campaigns and then fail to deliver business. That is just a fact. Advertizing is not magic, money is not a potion.
For crying out loud....Mitt is lousy candidate.
