I’ve seen this ad at the bottom of a couple of threads: \*\*Democrats Suck - They take our money, and rob our morality. What do you think? [www.democratssuck.com](http://www.democratssuck.com) \*\* (my bolding) Are we so desperate for revenues that we must accept ads from such dimwit, brain dead, malevolent cretins? Mods: If this objection has been raised previously, please kill this OP. ---

[QUOTE=DemocratsSuck] They take our money, and rob our morality. [/QUOTE] Well, I suppose “They take our money” is an allusion to the argument that Democrats raise taxes and waste government money. But what’s the “rob our morality” about? How do Republicans take the high moral ground these days? ---

[QUOTE=Giles] But what’s the “rob our morality” about? [/QUOTE] I guess if you clicked on the link, you’d find out. I’m not gonna, but you can feel free to go ahead. To the OP: The SDMB does not approve, and is not supported directly by, each individual ad that comes up; they’re provided by Google Ads. [See here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7697105&postcount=5) if you find one really objectionable, but it’s not at all uncommon for some of the Google Ads to link to sites that promote points of view that a majority of Dopers would [del]consider totally wacko[/del] disagree with. ---

I did click on the ad, just to see what it would lead to. It’s to a phpBB (bulletin board) titled “Democrats Suck,” and some of the views expressed therein made me, a registered Republican, want to hurl. Someone apparently has too much money. Why you would buy a Google ad for a little phpBB like that is beyond me. ---

The ad makes me laugh, especially when I think how some Republicans taunted Democrats in 2000 and 2004 with being “sore losers”. Who’s a sore loser now? “Yeah, you guys won both houses of Congress, but I don’t care because DEMOCRATS SUCK! Nah nah nah nah nah! I’m gonna tell everybody I know that you suck! Ha! I guess that’ll show you!” ---

So would you have any objection to [Republicanssuck.com](http://Republicanssuck.com)? There is nothing particularly offensive about the ad. No cuss words, no nudidity. Nothing the kiddies can’t look at. If you don’t like it don’t click on it. I didn’t. ---
