Has anyone else seen that new attack ad on the DFL?

[trotsky]

I didn't get to watch it, as I was in the kitchen, but I could hear it on the TV in the other room.

Basically it's a bunch of different "real people" all whining about the DFL controlling the whole government and approving a fancy new office building. Now having heard a bit about that issue, I know a new Senate office building was definitely needed and there are some legitimate questions about its pricetag (~$70 mil!).

I am disappointed our party was dumb enough to set up this softball for the Repukes. Ugh.

[question everything]

1. I think that this is an attack on Dayton

All he has to do is show headlines from local papers showing how great the economy is, especially compared to oh, that great tax cut state Wisconsin.

And, of course, it would not bother them when they controlled both the legislator body and the governor office.

As for the Senate Building, I hope that they kept some images of how it was falling down. At least, I think that I've seen some.

And, as much as I hate all the money going on stadiums and games, I suppose he can run some about whatever we had in Minneapolis - star games? and the superbowl...

2. I heard that one once

and it implied that the DFL raised taxes just to pay for the office building.

3. I see it about once every hour

Twice during the morning news shows, and multiple times during the Twins games. I can repeat it almost verbatim now.
It targets the easily-outraged types.
Mark Dayton and the Democrats control the whole government. And this is bad because . . . ?
And they built a luxury office building for themselves. Correct me but would't it be for legislators of both parties? Agree on the stupidity of this, I am not inclined to defend it.
And they passed the biggest tax increase in the history of humankind to pay for it. No they didn't, they increased taxes on the wealthy to pay for everything. Yours and my taxes did not go up.
Our property taxes went up! Yeah, they've gone up all through the Pawlenty years and are finally due to go down:

Why don't they use that money to fix potholes and such? Look around you, pal. The streets and state highways are torn up all over the place getting fixed.
