RNC's answer to effective advertising
The highly effective MoveOn.org ads have been running for quite some time now. You've probably seen them - they're the ones with working children depicting who is going to have to pay for Bush's huge deficit. So what is the Republican National Committee's answer to these ads? Not a well thought out point by point rebuttal. Not a "this isn't true" counter ad. But a big fat "WAAAAA" and an attempt to scare media outlets into not running it at all.
Yes, that's right. The RNC can't think of anything to counter these ads, so it is whining about how they MIGHT have been paid for in ways that MIGHT have been illegal, and attempting to use this speculation to strong arm television stations into not running the ads. They are claiming that the money to pay for the ads was not raised in accordance with new campaign finance laws, however MoveOn.org says that it most certainly was, and is now going to spend even MORE money to put the ads in more markets. Good for them.
Since the MoveOn.org ads must be paid for by people who contribute less than $5,000, the Psycho Sensei thinks it would be a fantastic idea for people to make contributions to MoveOn.org akin to the massive number of donations given to the John Dean campaign - a couple bucks here, a couple bucks there. That oughta teach the RNC to fight fairly.
