VANITY. Is the GOP/McCain out of money? Why aren't we running any tv ads.

Posted on 10/14/2008 8:33:14 PM PDT by watsonfellow

I thought we had money parity. Is this not the case?

I heard a great radio ad attacking Obama health care plan in Northern VA.

GOP is spending nearly $160,000,000 after the debate and up to the election. :-)

Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes. Hold Steady. The time will come after the Debate.

They're wondering what to do about this:

It seems that McCain would rather take shots at fellow Republicans than at Obama.

I pray that the undecided and swings voters aren't swayed by the preponderance of pro-Obama reporting in the MSM and by the polls.

I read on a post a few days ago that the GOP had $160 million they were going to spend the last couple of weeks of the campaign. I think the strategy is to bombard the airwaves the last couple of weeks so that the most current information that voters hear are the McCain ads. I usually remember the latest information I hear....don’t know about others. Also, I imagine that the ads will be strategically aired in battleground states.

ROFLMAO! My daughter sent me that link a couple of weeks ago - with her dog’s name as the Presidential candidate. Very cute!

It does depend on your location but I can tell you that there are many non-RNC ads up and running on radio, tv and the 'net, plus you never show your cards until you need to!!!!

Hint: "Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em" and definitely never let your opponent know until the last minute what you are "holding."

I think they should buy 30 minutes of network airtime for an infomercial featuring mccain and mostly Sarah Palin and book it at the same time that The Fraud plans to run his.

I just sent in another donation to get the ball rolling.

I have seen a bunch of worthless GOP attack ads that are only negative and don't promote smaller, less intrusive government.

It's almost like they want to lose.

Not seeing any McCain ads here in SW VA either. During prime time tonight while “House” was on, there were many Hussein ads, and no McCain ads at all.

Really, most of the McCain ads sucked anyway.

Hopefully if or when they begin running ads again, they will have some new ones.

I’ve seen Obama ads here in Texas. No chance Obama wins Texas. Let him waste his resources early and in stragetically inept areas.

I created one with a friend's name. Then, I sent him a link to the video.

I wish I was there to see his reaction to that last scene.

I hope that works...it might backfire. People have begun tuning out the ads at this point.

I wasn't proud of my response either. Sorry about that.

I wish I could be upbeat like others here, but when it comes to politics, I am a pessimist. So, I understand the frustration some Freepers have at some of my posts. I really am trying to find the positives in this campaign, but McCain makes it so damn hard. See, I can't stop :(

I pray that the rest of the country finds a way to elect McCain-Palin (I'm in California - we're a lost cause for the GOP). An Obama presidency will be a nightmare.

It’s getting late.....mail in ballots go out very soon...in many states. And, early voting is taking place in others.
