Mitch McConnell’s First Ad

Here’s McConnell’s first ad, over $100,00 being spent on its airing soon in Lexington and Louisville.

You’ll note that Mitch McConnell is a VERY powerful man. He can get all kinds of stuff done in the Senate, apparently. But if that’s really the case, why is Kentucky almost rock bottom in education and healthcare? Is it possible that he uses this “power” not to help improve the lives of all Kentuckians, rather his big money donors?

And I can’t wait for the Club for Growth to see this ad!!! This is a love letter to pork and federal government spending through earmarks. Calling Senator Forgy!!!


From C.Wash in the comments:

If Mitch McConnell is so damn powerful, why are we STILL sitting on so many tons of leaky chemical weapons over in this end of the state?

Why are 550,000 Kentuckians, including 81,000 children, without health insurance.

Why have the number of Kentuckians working gone up only 60,000 in four years?

Why has job growth in Kentucky been slower than the pace of other states?

At 6.1 percent, Kentucky’s unemployment rate is the nation’s fourth highest.

Doesn’t sound like he has much to brag about.

Doesn’t sound like much to brag about to me, too. Hunter Bates’ clients seem to be doing pretty well though, right?

    This needs to be parodied quickly with all of the handouts he gave to Hunter Bates’ clients and all of his contributers.

    and if anyone out there knows how to stop the damn thing from playing once you open in the code, that would be much appreciated.

    Joe, is there any way that we can just do a screen capture of the ad and then link to the actual video because quite frankly, with this thing live-playing when you upload the site, I’m going to get sick, sick, sick of this ad by the time it’s #26 and disappears from the front page. I’m at a public computer right now and can’t do it.

    I considered that some of this stuff could have been plagiarized, it’s found everywhere on the net and other peoples websites, unless you’re the first maker?

    Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!

    There a few fascinating points in time in this post but I don’t know if I see these center to heart. There may possibly be some validity but I’ll take hold opinion until I explore it further. Excellent write-up , thanks and then we want a good deal far more! Put into FeedBurner too
