Seriously, if Democrats don't put THIS pitiful performance into a TV ad they DESERVE to lose the election!Amazing colossal dingbat Jason Chaffetz, apparently unaware that THERE IS no Surgeon General because Senate Republicans have been BLOCKING the APPOINTMENT of one for over a year, criticizes Obama for appointing Ron Klain to head the response to ebola instead of letting "the Surgeon General head this up." To add insult to injury (for the American Public), the REASON they're blocking Obama's appointment of a Surgeon General is because THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION doesn't like him.
Alright, you Democratic Party campaign people out there...just how hard would it be to slap together a 10 second campaign add showing this:
Chaffetz saying " Ebola) why not just let the Surgeon General head this up?"
Then cut to a text window saying "Because Senate Republicans have been BLOCKING the appointment of a Surgeon General for over a year, that's why.

(5,954 posts)Allison Lundergan Grimes fumbles a question about who she voted for, and reporters are hounding her about it at every campaign stop for weeks.
Jason Chaffetz, through sheer force of stupidity, highlights the fact that Republicans have been blocking the appointment of America's top health official in the middle of a health crisis for petty political reasons, and they'll just let him shrug it off. "Er...I meant the OFFICE of the Surgeon General. Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket." Chuck Todd: "Okay, good enough for me. Now let's get back to talking about how 'unqualified' Allison Lundergan Grimes is to be a Senator."

(22,669 posts)My question is, why isn't PBO and other non-ballot dems campaigning? We need enthusiasm to drive voters to the polls. They've fallen for some RWNJ mindset that they shouldn't because they'll stir up Republis. Well, I have news for them. Republis are already EV'ing at a greater rate than dems, you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. AND, you know they'd be campaigning this way, because they know it drives enthusiasm.
WTF?!!!
