A billboard in Central El Paso supporting GOP Presidential Candidate, John Mc Cain, has people talking.
First it was missing information, now people say its message is too strong.
The billboard is at I-10 West near Raynolds. About a week ago, it did not mention the person or committee who paid for it.
But recently "Paid for by Laura McIntyre" was added.
Now some democrats are not happy it says "McCain Palin, Change babies can live with."
El Paso Republican Party Chairman, Mike Moore, calls it freedom of speech at its finest.
"It's not paid for by any political committee or political action group. Which according to the Texas election code that's fine. A person can put up a billboard advertising all kinds of things," Moore said.
The rules said if the billboard is not approved by the candidate or it's committee it must state the full name, permanent address and the phone number or website of the person who paid for the ad.

Now some democrats are not happy it says "McCain Palin, Change babies can live with." Tough luck if the dems don't like someone calling them on it. They're the ones with the pro-abortion position.
When are they going to start acting like adults?

Now some democrats are not happy it says "McCain Palin, Change babies can live with." WTH do they teach in journalism school? Did ever occur to Crystal Dominguez to ask what, specifically, their problem was?

Free speech. Well not free but she can spend her money anyway she wants, for now.

HOw many times has the media been made to give out this information when they are making political statement this election?

Obama/Bieden could counter with:
“Don’t be punished with a heavenly bundle of joy”.
