Tis the season for campaign ads and endless phone calls (and texts), and thank the Lord for call screening. Imagine the frustration if we didn’t have it? Hello…Arrrgh! As for ads, my mute button is getting more action than a Coyote on the US Southern border. Mute. Mute. Mute. But TV ads are essential. Without them, you probably lose.
They also tell you things about what incumbents fear. The truth appears to be the Left’s midterm boogeyman. Almost everyone worries about their rapidly backsliding lifestyle, while Dems want to ensure we can kill babies at birth. And that’s not even a disconnect to them. We’ve also got the Dems fake “we care about the economy,” but not enough to mention how sh!tty it’s been since they took over in 2020.
They say I’m for small businesses, except for the trillions in spending and debt that made running a business nearly impossible today or any day after it. Oh, and the taxes, regulations, and energy policy are driving up operating costs. I’m your small business champion.
Not so much.
If you are an independent and want confirmation of how helpful the past few years have been under Democrat rule, survey your local small business owners if you have any left.
On the Republican side, the ads always suck. That’s my opinion, and maybe I’m a “tough room.” After all, I write headlines like, “For Democrats “Abortion” is about Protecting the Right to Kill Newborns,” and maybe that doesn’t play well on the Independent voter’s idiot box. But good or bad, you need to be up on TV, name recognition, and all that, and it’s never enough.
So, folks got bent when Mitch McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) backed out of a 5.6 million ad buy in support of Don Bolduc. The election is days away. Ad remorse or not, Hassan and her dark money third-party hooligans will be in your face until November 8th. That should not go unanswered.
NRSC Chairman Rick Scott agrees. He has stepped up to fill some of that void.
“Our polling, along with recent public polling, shows that this race is in the margin of error and winnable. The NRSC is proud to stand with General Bolduc. We’re going to win this race so Don Bolduc can bring real leadership back to this Senate seat,” NRSC chairman Rick Scott of Florida told Axios.
The NRSC committed a million dollars in the closing days and could add more, but there’s not much room left to stuff with ads, and the NRSC already spent 3 million (a bit more than the Left spent supporting Bolduc in the primary). Dems think Bolduc is easier for Hassan to beat, and if you have not seen what that looks like, it’s his stance on life. He’s unabashedly pro-life, and Democrats like to kill babies, so they’ve poured millions into claiming he’s dangerous to women’s health rights when most of their abortion mills only offer contraception, and when that fails, abortions.
Nothing else about women’s bodies (whatever those are) matters to Democrats – ask the women who are still suffering the side effects of their “vaccine” campaign that can’t get them on the phone.
Abortion, abortion, abortion!
Since SCOTUS overturned Roe, radical progs have been attacking pregnancy crisis centers almost as hard as Bolduc, many of which provide the services the Left claims for Planned Parenthood. So, not much different than their we love small business campaign ads. Smoke, mirrors, and the scent of manure. A stench we won’t be able to escape or afford if Democrats continue to control anything.
And maybe McConnell and the SLF, which had already spent 16 million in New Hampshire before he threw in the towel, will have a change of heart and drop a few dimes in the closing moments of this fight, and I’ve got mixed feelings. The more he spends, the more obedience he’d expect when Bolduc wins.
That means you have two jobs now. Elect him despite Mcconnell’s bail, and then keep him from becoming a swamp creature.
