We need more organizations like ACORN.

Fortunately this ad, if anything, will drive voters AWAY from McCaskill.

Voters are a bit more sophisticated that Dems take them for -- and this ad is a big "turn off".

Moreover, when GOPers see ads like this, it infuriates them even more, driving higher GOP voter turnout!

So, let the Dems run ads like this and spend their $. It only helps Talent.

Lee: "We need more organizations like ACORN."

...whose members are more than willing to break ANY law in order to get the election outcome they feel they deserve.

Lee, I just thought I would help you out and finish your sentence for you. Several ACORN members are currently either in jail or under indictment for election fraud.

Nice bunch to endorse!

The Missouri Stem Cell amendment is a no-brainer.

The amendment basically says that any stem-cell research allowed under federal law will also be allowed in Missouri. Currently, that includes research on stem cells from human embryos.

The research CAN lead to new cures so the first ad is TRUE but your supposed ad is false because with out the tools of stem cell research no embryo will grow up to find a cure or at best they will be signioficantly hampered from doing so.

It's a mass of cells people...get over it!! Missourians can choose to be progressive and advance medical care or they can choose to be ignorant, superstuitous and conservative.

Yeah, we know the Republican party is just dead-set against emotional manipulation.

On the other hand, if you vote for a Democrat, you're voting for another 9/11 -- terrorists will stop fighting us over there and come here. Gays will enter your schools and teach your children the finer points of consensual sodomy.

And now, the Wizbangblog anthem: "Can you say, 'hypocrisy'?"

This is the exact same commercial, same actors, same dialogue being run in Virginia against Thelma Drake, a republican congresswoman running for re-election. The only difference is a change of the target.

...whose members are more than willing to break ANY law in order to get the election outcome they feel they deserve.

Oh yes: will you folks be in Maine to jam the Democrats' get-out-the-vote phone effort again?

This is the exact same commercial, same actors, same dialogue being run in Virginia against Thelma Drake, a republican congresswoman running for re-election. The only difference is a change of the target.

Why, it's almost as if a single advertising company has been paid to do this. Clearly cheating! How dare they?

Embryonic stem cells are not the panacea everyone wants us to believe they are. Take it from someone who teaches about the subject. Adult stem cells show more promise.

On the other hand, if you vote for a Democrat, you're voting for another 9/11 -- terrorists will stop fighting us over there and come here. Gays will enter your schools and teach your children the finer points of consensual sodomy.
------------------------------------------------
I just look at the actions of the Dem party and the liberal left. I found nothing but an intellectual and moral sewage: the dems and the left are engaged in the worst kind of gay bashing with the full support of liberals. Why? Is that hypocrisy?

Did CNN just provide free propaganda for the terrorists? Did the NYT reveal our tracking of the terrorist finance? Did the liberals oppose terrorist surveillance program?

We don't need to manipulate emotion. just look at the facts. Wonder why Pelosi and Reid are not out there campaigning? What do they have to hide?

What a sewage!

Just look at every action and ad and speech of the dems/liberals. You will find constant deception and lying. These people simply cannot be honest about who they are.

It's a mass of cells people.
-----------------------------------
Muerigo, you are simply a mass of cells. You have no intrinsic worth or value as a human being. Is that what you want people to treat you? NO wonder the left doesn't show any outrage towards the terrorists. THis is what I found so despicable about the liberal left: they are so adamant about killing babies, the disables, the elderly. Yet they are making excuse for the terrorists, the crimimals, the killers.

Muerigo, here is the quiz for you: this ad is so dishonest, despicable, and unconsionable that only the liberals can support it. Do you know why?

more-ego: "It's a mass of cells people...get over it!!"

LoveAmerica Immigrant already commented on this...but it is too indictative of the Left to let is pass by.

Conservatives: they are BABIES
Liberals: they are just a "mass of cells"

I am one of those hypothetical persons in the ad as I have a chronic condition that may benefit, one day, from stem cell research.

However, even in my shoes, I see this a blatantly misleading. Adult stem cells are the only productive cell lines to date. Fetal cells have been a bust. So, the jury is way out on this one.

Plus, no one is saying you can't use private or state money for fetal cell research. California has funded lots of it.

Very misleading and downright dishonest in my book.

When it comes to murder the democ'rats condone it from conception to old age. Euthanasia of everyone over 50 or seriously ill will be their next drive without realizing they will soon be next in line for the shot. Weep for a mass murderering child rapist and try to prevent their execution but murder millions of unborn, but living babies. Not the kind of people I want to know or associate with.

I see the demo'rats have gained a major endorsement from the terrorists organizations worldwide. How many millions of dollars in campaign contributions have they accepted from terrorists organizations starting with CAIR?

Just talked to a friend that is completing 8 years of military service and due for discharge or reenlistment. He was asking for advice since I retired from the military. My advice to everyone in the military is to see what happens Tuesday. If the dim't take over the house and senate, run like hell before the dim's put you in a position to be killed and dragged through the streets. Don't look back for your backup, they will have already cancelled that. Don't enlist and don't reenlist. When the dem's start the draft you can always avoid it. Hell they've done declared you are all stupid so that should excuse you from military service. The Rangel draft will require at least two years of college to be elegible for the military to prevent too many 'poor' people from serving.

Muerigo, here is the quiz for you: this ad is so dishonest, despicable, and unconsionable that only the liberals can support it. Do you know why?

Hmm let me guess....is it because I hate babies, cripples and old people or because I love terrorist, criminals and murderers?

The most difficult thing for me is babies of terrorist. I hate babies but love terrorist so I'm torn about terrorist babies. Should I love them or hate them? I just don't know. Then sometimes terrorist get old (if they don't blow themselves up first) and then with my hate for old people what do I do? Do I love an old terrorist or hate them for being old. Life is so confusing. Now murderers who kill babies and old people and cripples ..them I like the best. They make it easy being the baby hating terrorist loving person I am.

Another thing I'm confused about is when a terrorist blows some one up and makes them a crippled. I like terrorist but then it bothers me when they go making cripples...whom I hate. Anyway I'm sure you can all see the dilemma it is to be me thanks to LoveAmerica Immigrant bringing out my real situation.

Astigafa, get your lies straight. The GOP phone-jamming scandal happened here in New Hampshire in 2002, not Maine. Several are in jail for it right now -- and rightly so.

muirgeo: "Anyway I'm sure you can all see the dilemma it is to be me thanks to LoveAmerica Immigrant bringing out my real situation."

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

This as has been used in at least one of Indiana's congressional districts (Incumbent Chocola-R).

I find the commercial well done. However, it amuses because it implies Chocola, Talent, etc. who are not doctors/scientists have no right to vote against funds for embryonic cell research; but a teen-ager, a mother, & a very young child (all non-doctors/non-scientists) are allowed to convince the public we all need to vote for gov't funding for embryonic research.

And what if the ad looked something like this:

I strongly urge the GOP to run this ad that shows what a bunch of nutcases they are. The voters deserve the truth.

Muiergo,
Since you ask, I will try to explain to you again. As Mitchell pointed out, the adult stem research have been showing real results so far. Embryonic stem cell research hasn't born fruits yet. It is unconsionable to lie to sick people and their families that a cure is coming and we only need FEDERAL money to do it. This is downright dishonest and despicable.

This is another example of the passionate actions of liberals: they fight hard for abortion (killing babies - just a homework for you: find a liberal friend who is pregnant, then you can ask her how her "mass of cells" is doing), embryonic stem cells (destroying embryonic babies again), euthanasia (killing the disabled and the elderly). They are passionate and willing to fight to kill the young/the old/the weak. Yet they try to make excuse for the terrorists, the criminal killers. Heck they even try to make excuse for Saddam Hussein.

That 's why the liberal left is in the moral sewage.

LoveAmerica Immigrant,

I admire how sometimes you can be still cordial after the commie morons act and say like they usually do. That is a forte of yours, and you would make a great person to have in the foreign service for America (in a consulate or embassy).

As far as your talking to muirgeo, as I said yesterday, I am thankful that he helps me do what Jim Valvano recommends we do everyday to have a successful life -- one of those is to have your emotion moved to cause you to cry each day. And I cry often after muirgeo's posts because it''s so hilarious or because I am so sad that a person could be so misled. Thank you, muirgeo, for affecting my emotions often.

Nehemiah,

Do you really cry for me? If so that's good because that means you are capable of a deep and platonic discussion. Try me...I'm seriously dying for some deep discussion and its very hard to find it on any of these conservative blogs. The discussion almost instantly becomes a flame war and indeed I do enjoy that as well since my flames are much hotter...not to mention fact and logic based.

Lets start with what you think I'm misled about? A little about me first. I'm an atheist by my own definition, my morality is guided pretty much by my love for my 2 daughters, everything I do has to have an eye towards what's best for their future and I am daily moved by the enigma of nature and our very existence.

Basically I'm a Secular Humanist and their affirmations closely coincide with my beliefs;

http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?section=main&page=affirmations

Anyway let me know if you really want to talk.

Being a "secular humanist" means you can make it up as you go along. That's pretty much what I see in your posse's postings here.

And you don't have to be an overly devout Christian, Jew, Hindu etc. to believe there are some intrinsically important moral values that can't be compromised in life. That's really what Christianity means to me, at least.

In reality, you stand for nothing but yourself as a "secular humanist."

Muirego,
Let 's have some deep discussion then. Since you are a secular humanist, where does your love for your 2 daughters come from? Are they merely product of your chemical reactions? You and your daughters are nothing but masses of cells. Maybe you have more cells now compared to the embryos, but still you are nothing but masses of cells. That should be part of your secular humanist creed.

I know for a fact that Muirego's brain is a very, very small "clump" of cells. That they are so small, we should be able to do stem cell research on them, no?

The lowlings did go to jail for the phone jammimg shceme.
Just like the lowlings who took the blame for torture at Abu Ghraib.

Fish rot from the head down, not the republican party.
I think it has something to do with fish having brains in their head.

Come on Justrand...admit it...that was a funny post.

I'll admit it for him. It was funny!

LoveAmerica Immigrant,

I guess this passes for "cordial" on the right:

I just look at the actions of the Dem party and the liberal left. I found nothing but an intellectual and moral sewage ...

What a sewage!
...

You have no intrinsic worth or value as a human being.
...

That 's why the liberal left is in the moral sewage.
...

Liberals will be happy to swim in the moral sewage with the Dems.
...

You keep confirming my conclusion about the intellectual and moral sewage of the liberal left.
...

Anyway, the point stands that liberals are happily swimming in the moral sewage with the Dems.
...

these liberals will be swimming the sewage of racism, bigotry, ACLU-NAMBLA, pornography, Clinton etc.
...

Many thanks again for confirming my point about the moral sewage of the left.

Well, one thing you can say is that his message is consistent.

Flashback to political media ads, circa late 2004...

Young, beautiful, dewy-eyed, and completely hypothetical people who might, someday, [get attacked by terrorists]. What, according to the [right] wing group the [Republicans], is the only thing that can save them? [Reelecting George Bush]. It's complete and total manipulation. And it's dishonest.

Hmmm....finally we find out who LoveAmerica really is!!! He's Ralph Kramden!!!! Reborn from his job in the sewers!!!

Thank you so much Brian!!!

I think it is obviously manipulative and therefore not an effective ad. On the other hand, Corker in neighboring TN closed with a really fabulous ad. We have all the latest ads in the "polical ad" archive over at RightLinx if anyone is interested, except we are one day behind.

Give me a break - that's not manipulitive.

And even if it is even remotely manipulitive, that isn't half as bad as being backwards and against stem cell research because theoretically, in 9 months those cells COULD be a person.

"On the other hand, if you vote for a Democrat, you're voting for another 9/11 -- terrorists will stop fighting us over there and come here. Gays will enter your schools and teach your children the finer points of consensual sodomy" - says the redneck hillbilly while playing his banjo on his front porch of his broken down delapidated house.

.....there are some intrinsically important moral values that can't be compromised in life. That's really what Christianity means to me, at least.

In reality, you stand for nothing but yourself as a "secular humanist."

Posted by: Mitchell at November 4, 2006 03:00 PM

Mitchell I think we got that covered;

We believe in the common moral decencies: altruism, integrity, honesty, truthfulness, responsibility. Humanist ethics is amenable to critical, rational guidance. There are normative standards that we discover together. Moral principles are tested by their consequences.

We are deeply concerned with the moral education of our children. We want to nourish reason and compassion.
