5. It sure would be nice for the OP to have some information as to the subject of the thread.

Not everyone has seen that commercial. It may be regional and not nation wide.

7. Here:

Crossroads GPS, the non-profit political spending outfit who Rove and former RNC chair Ed Gillespie helped launch last year, is going on national cable news channels Wednesday with the 60-second spot, aimed squarely at the union leaders and Democratic politicians who have been taking on governors across the Midwest in the past few weeks.


The ad will be broadcast nationally on CNBC, CNN and Fox News Channel, part of a $750,000 buy that will keep it on the air for one week.

6. To demonize Unions across the US? Of course. This Union

busting activity is going on across the US. Crossroads
wants people to believe it is a good thing to bust Unions.
They hope to change people's view of the Republicans. In other
words if they can convince people Unions are big bad monsters,
the Republicans really are looking out for them. Rove always
has method to his madness.

9. I want Democrats to do the same but unfortunately, I have zero faith that they will. :(

They'll probably try to make more compromising with these clowns until they get all that they want I don't know.

10. Factcheck.org has done an analysis - 45% figure is a lie, most of it are lies

Factcheck.org looks at Karl Rove's anti-union ad (hint - He's LYING)
