Democrats pay to spread their message on TV!!!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/29/obama-2012-campaign-tv-ads_n_1118806.html

They paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, to spread their message. How evil was that!??!1!11!?!

And apparently people liked their message enough to vote them into office. Had that not happened do you think it would make sense to spend more to spread your message even more?

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

I thought we were talking about republicans? Is that not what this thread is about?

The OP is not a republican, silly. He would commit suicide first. The thread is about how horrible it is that a political party would ever think to spend money to get out their message...that it is worse than evil to do so. Which can be summarized as "the OP is a nutcase".

Do you agree with the OP that it is wrong for a political party to spend money to get their message out, or do you think he is a nutcase for thinking it is wrong to do so?

I'm pretty sure I expressed my opinion in this thread, do I need to explain it to you again?

It's not the spreading of the message that's the issue, it's the message itself.

I suggest you read the thread title then, you appear confused. I will quote it for you:

RNC to pay thousands more to plug GOP message

Nope, no mention that the issue is anything more than the RNC is paying to spread its political message. Maybe it is in his post, lets check:

RNC to pay thousands more to plug GOP message

I don't have a link yet.

Republican Chair Reince Priebus announced this morning 3-17-2013 on CBS Face The Nation that the GOP will pay more people than ever to infiltrate communities, Churches, Businesses, Media and people to post online on how good the GOP is and how people should join and vote Republican.

I will post link as soon as I see the transcript from Face The Nation

As promised - the link with Video

3-17-2013

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3460_162...-to-2012-loss/


GOP Chairman Reince Priebus says "lousy job of branding," "ridiculous" number of debates led to 2012 loss

Priebus will unveil on Monday the RNC's post-2012 election review, called the "Growth and Opportunity Project," to help the RNC get its job done. In it, the party pledges to communicate the Republican message better, through a multi-million dollar outreach program.

The RNC will hire hundreds of new outreach employees, including political directors for growing minority voting blocs: African Americans, Asian-Americans and Hispanics. This effort will include marketing campaigns on college campuses, including historically black colleges and universities.

The party will also try to close the technology gap that became apparent after the November election. The RNC will also open up a field office in the traditionally Democratic leaning San Francisco aimed at reaching out to Silicon Valley to connect with the latest technology that can be used to connect with and track voters.

Nope, not there either. Maybe you are posting in the wrong thread. This one is about how the OP thinks it is news that a political party is spending money to spread its political message.

Ah the old "dang, he is right, I have to pretend he is not without actually saying anything with substance" tactic. It is lame, but it does not surprise me you are using it.

Saying the GOP lost in 2012 because the message didn't get out well enough is like saying the Titanic was a failure because there weren't enough lifeboats to save all the passengers.

The GOP lost in 2012 because their message was unpopular and it was delivered by a piss-poor candidate.
