Eric Hovde: I Don't Care About Being Liked

The first ad I saw in the Green Bay TV market for US Senate was former Governor Tommy Thompson's, but now I have seen this ad from Eric Hovde. It uses the already over-used stitch of having kids talk to the camera and then have Mr. or Ms. Candidate say something at the end. The internet version also adds about 8 seconds of "out-takes". (ha....... ha......)

Know what really gets me on this one? It's not so much the message his kids deliver, because it's pretty par for the course of what anyone wanting to gain Wisconsin's Neo-Stalwart vote would say. What gets me is his closing line, "I don't care if they like me in the Senate"

So much for that spirit of bi-partisanship I guess....

You want a real Progressive #ragestroke, watch what he just posted yesterday: His plan for protecting the American Dream.

I can't think of a better person to give advice on the American Dream than a person who manages a hedge fund.... So much for the sweat and tears of hard toiling work, let's just gamble with other people's life savings. That's the path to the American Dream.

Like every good Neo-Stalwart, he's taking us into the Neo-Gilded age...
