You know... It's the equivalent of "verbal legal fine print" that they do on radio commercials, except for this credit card commercial they said it both before and after the "hard sell" part of the verbage.

Of course, in political commercials such "disclaimers" are not required under the doctrine of political "free speech," which is the most protected by the first amendment. The Washington Supreme Court recently ruled that even outright lying was protected in political commercials!!!

I presume that is why so much adnauseum "hard sell" and even insulting castigation of fellow conservative candidates is FReely allowed on our "conservative" website by our charitable host. This is truly the "silly season" out of season for CA's special election!!!

Don't mind me, though. I'm just recalling the "heyday" of FR when we all had Clinton's denigration of the whitehouse into the outhouse to focus our fervor against, instead of each other.
