Action Alert: 24 Hours Left To Help Ohio Democrat Robin Weirauch
Ohio Democrat Robin Weirauch is in a tight battle with a slimy GOPer named Bob Latta, who put out the above attack ad against her. Republicans are desperate to win this seat and are pumping money into this race. With just 24 hours left for Robin to use contributions to purchase advertising, she needs our help now. Please go to her Act Blue page and do what you can.
More from Daily Kos:
Well, that's the latest "scary liberals" ad the NRCC is spending money it doesn't have running in an R+10 district to try and pull its balls out of the fire.
The ad goes into the usual "raise taxes" and "scary brown people" GOP boilerplate, but what's particularly hilarious is that the "problems" the ad declares Americans face are all problems created by the Bush administration and the Bush Republicans who have run Congress most of the last eight years Read on...
Frist?
Bob Latta is a wank who's tied to coingate.

Anyone who can't effectively throw back the GOP talking points into the face of any repuke after the last 7 years of middle-class destruction under Bushco and the neocons in congress; should not be running for office.
Who you gonna believe, the Bush repukes (who destroyed your country and your life), or your own lying eyes?
If it were not for abject stupidity, the republican party would have ceased to exist years ago as anything but a laughable collection of lunatic-fringe cartoon characters.
Wow. That's some top-shelf bullshit.
I'm sad to say, however, that it's a really well-done ad.
Our work is cut-out for us in '08.
I wouldnt like to see C&L become a partisan site, there are criminals on both sides, i like C&L because it takes them all out :)
Thanks!!
Gekke @ 5:
It's nonpartisan if it's going after both sides.
All Fear! All the time...
And about losing the farm....
From the IRS site...
Presently, the amount of this credit reduces the computed tax so that only total taxable estates and lifetime gifts that exceed $1,000,000 will actually have to pay tax. In its current form, the estate tax only affects the wealthiest 2% of all Americans.
Thanks for repeating the "Death Tax" right-wing re-framing.....
CD @ 7:
yup :)
Casting a ballot in Ohio is like writing a message on a 'one time only spy pad', then chewing it up and swallowing it.
Who's gonna wait a day or two, then go through all the sh*t to find it and decipher it?
ok....so C & L is supporting this candidate I've never heard of in a place i've never been. How about support a Democrat who wants to save the county, like someone running for president....like...(your choice here).
I got to go chill for a bit but i'll leave you with this classic from 1983, cut and paste in the music thread when it opens :)

enjoy ;)

mo_dems, we're committed to increasing the number of progressive candidates in Congress, because as you've seen since the 2006 elections, we're not going to see the changes we want and need until we have more committed progressives in office. Trust me, we're trying to save the country. It just doesn't happen from the top down.
We're really excited about Ohio's 5th district because it was considered a safe Republican district for a very long time. However Latta is such a slime that we have a real chance of grabbing this seat.
The end made me laugh. She supports "pathway to citizenship" which will allow MEXICANS to live next to YOU...LEGALLY!
Man not even Not even the Conservative Club for Growth will endorces Latta. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CopXXfgO8Xw
It is an amazingly mean spirited political ad. If that's what works in America, what does it say for Americans?
Good post Logan. This is the nuts and bolts of what it takes to get our country back. Thanks for the opportunity to take meaningful action. Peace.

We'll elect Robin first!
And as for the place you've never been.....It's great!

Check out the acts that have played here,
See you soon :)
Nicole, thank you. I just wish we could help everyone. There are hundreds of races just like this one that get zero attention.
Out of curiosity, why doesn't C&L endorse a candidate for the Democratic nomination?
I hope everyone helps Robin
mo_dems @ 19:
John Amato doesn't want to. Truly, despite what the media is trying to convince you, it's a major horse race, and it's anyone's guess who will actually take the nomination. Don't forget that Bill Clinton was a dark horse going into the primary season and gained momentum after a surprise primary win.
We will support and campaign for whomever becomes the Democratic candidate.

I don't honestly think that that ad was very scary. I think health care is scaring the hell out of people and they are desperate for a solution and would welcome a government healthcare. I know that the republicans want to make scary brown people an issue, but I just don't see it being the magic evil bullet they are looking for. People are more concerned about the war, healthcare, the economy, gas prices etc. This is just my take, seeings that I have my finger on the pulse of ever republican... LOL.. :-)
robin's supporters might do well to protest and boycott the local/state GOP talk radio station that has undoubtedly been sliming her.
Sorry, but why doesn't she respond with an ad back? When are dems going to start responding to these attacks with messages back? I know it's childish and dirty - but they started it - if my hair is pulled, I'll pull back...
You sure endorse a lot of jewish candidates, Amato.
I almost gave her some money. I went to her website and noticed that actually she is to quote he site "That means absolutely no amnesty, no driver's licenses, and no federal benefits for illegal immigrants." My opinion the descendents of Mexicans were in this country before my ancestors were here. Actually, the driver's license law is dangerous. If the undocumented don't get licenses they are more likely to be involved in accidents where people die. It's just a fact.
26 Madame Defarge Says: You sure endorse a lot of jewish candidates, Amato
WTF madame defarge? Amato is the first to call out the AIPAC hawks on their bullsh*t. I guess I'm the first to call you out on yours. Who gives a $hi+ about the ethnicity of a candidate that has real progressive priorities and values. I'm not sure what your point is, but if its an anti-jewish comment, go the F*%k home!!!

Brian - As Ohio Goes has a pretty good comparative ad up...
