bunch of kids name call, saying, "When I grow up, I want to be a......" Waffler, flip-flopper, twist my words, etc. Then they say, 'Just like Mike Beebee'.

2. Starting them out young
Kind of sickening to me. The aspect of the commercial that bothers me most is the use of children. What message does this send to them? That it is OK to say derogatory things about other adults and be rewarded for it? What were their parents thinking?

3. They're thinking the kids are getting paid...
I'm supposing they are actors. As for Asa, goodness, he'll be gone soon, won't he? Mike's going to take this one for sure.

4. I realize that
the kids are probably "actors" and will get paid. But in my opinion, that doesn't excuse the parents for letting their children be used in this way.

5. I think ASA! is a big loser and a fraud.
Like all Repukes, he uses whomever he wants to use for whatever purpose. I doubt it will work. No matter what you may think about Beebe, at least he has been in Arkansas, not helping Bush screw up the entire US.

6. very strange ad
I think this is a very strange ad....wonder who they thought it would hold appeal for?? And the use of kids is totally disgusting. I want Asa to go the way of brother Timmy...into the sunset.
