These are ridiculous. This is basically the old Christian Coalition trying to scare people into thinking a PAC is the devil. There is a way to play the game, and PAC-to-PAC transfers are the passing game, whereas Riley good ol’ boy politics of deception and lies are the running game. Take your pick, the first kind is the only one that has to report online. But wait, Alabama is near the bottom in terms of internet access for our 3 million voters – so, never mind, I guess the GOP will keep making people think that PAC-to-PAC is as bad as a black President and scare the rural white voters away from the Party which can help them (Democrats) and usher in a new wave of blue-blood control over the common men.
This is exactly what happened after Reconstruction – poor whites just ran away from the black Republicans. And now it’s the opposite, but the GOP has to entice them and scare them with dumb ads like this. This is not a real newscast, but many people will think it is.
Was the above enough of a rant?
Needs more jingo and a harumph or two(youtube link) from the audience.
