bad spokesperson

I don’t know why google decides I want to see this.  My blog aggregation leans decidedly liberal.  Maybe it’s a sign of who has the money?

Is this mocking us, suggesting that they are not even trying to get public support for such measures in a post- Citizens’ United world?  Even if you deign to advocate for “Keeping the Bush Tax Cuts”, is Bush the right spokesperson for the sell?  You know that if the election were held today, Obama would beat Bush in the election?

Things get even stranger when you click the ad.  What you see is a video image of Fred Thompson.  “Sign Fred Thompson’s Petition to Renew the Bush Tax Cuts.  Click Here Now.”  Is Fred Thompson the right spokesperson for this cause?

Chuck Norris, maybe?  Political pundit who has exposed the whole sale Obama assault on the Boy Scouts.  To be fair, Norris solves the problem:

One 1980s Eagle Scout recipient, Keith Ryan Brafford, Troop 910, Winston-Salem, N.C., posted on a blog with a photo of his Eagle Scout certificate, “Who wants Obama’s signature anyway? … Obama is doing the Scouts a favor [by not signing the certificates]. The president who signs it was so important to me that when I got mine, I insisted on a Reagan-signed award even though he wasn’t president anymore.”

Just as the desire to avoid the signature of Carter in favor of Ronald Ray-gun, anyone upset about such an issue would probably be demanding either George W Bush’s or Sarah Palin’s signature — not Carter or Obama’s.
