To the guy running for the senate against Russ Feingold in Wisconsin: Why do you think your experience as a plastics manufacturer qualifies you for a senate seat? Does Feingold’s experience in politics qualify him to run a plastics company?
To Christine O’Donnell in Delaware: Please take the catch line “I’m you” out of your commercials. Every time it appears it reminds me of the first “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” movie, and I visualize a new me taking shape on a pool table with you inside.
To Rand Paul in Kentucky: Haven’t you noticed that the bulk of your support comes from the Christian Right whose use-government-to-control-‘unChristian-behavior’ is totally inimical to your own libertarian philosophy?
To all the candidates railing against a government’s takeover of health care: Do you really think it should be left to private insurance companies? Haven’t you noticed the problems this has been causing for decades?
To the candidate in West Virginia who hired actors to play working class stiffs in his commercials: Why not have these actors playing themselves? Actors have been suffering terribly in the Obama years, especially those who resemble working class stiffs.
To the candidates who use other actors to play cigar smoking lobbyists in order to show how special interests have tainted sitting congressmen, most of whom are currently Democrats: Be more realistic. Lobbyist don’t smoke, much less cigars, unless they’re obligated to do so by virtue of representing tobacco interests. Most lobbyists only consume brie and good white wines while hustling for influence in the Beltway.
