Worst campaign ads, 2018 edition

Iowa governor Kim Reynolds ® has an ad, which unfortunately doesn’t seem to be online, where she talks about how having 10 grandchildren has been a good preparation for being governor.

Really?

What political stands do you believe in? That’s what people really need to know.

Glad to see my state isn’t the only one with embarrassingly stupid political ads. One is essentially “Vote Republican or Nancy Pelosi will RAISE YOUR TAXES!”

“China People” refers to a company, China Energy Investment.

GOP House candidate ad depicts all-American activities with stock footage of Russia.

Steve Knight is running a ad attack on his opponent, and bought the website of katiehill2018.com. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

So if you are looking to support Katie Hill, you will be directed to his attack page. Which primarily focuses on the CA Gas tax- which he or her as US CONGRESScritters have absolutely no say on.

“Comrade, we have great commercial for you showing how good to be American”.

There’s an ad around here that talks about how the Democratic candidate will support the Clinton-Pelosi energy tax, whatever the hell that’s supposed to be.

And candidate for KS Governor Laura Kelly is going to raise taxes* on all your food! And then they start listing a bunch of different basic food items like bread, milk, etc. Which always prompts me to blurt out in my best Gen. Jack D. Ripper voice, “Ice cream, Mandrake? Children’s ice cream?

  • Any Democrat who wants to restore taxes to where they were before Gov. Brownback slashed them to the bone, is now being accused of being in favor of “the largest tax increase in Kansas history!”

Well, now there’s this:

Obviously, he took them when he was on vacation.

I thought the B-roll of a mother and daughter sitting around the kitchen table using a laptop, creating alt-right twitter bots and fake Facebook accounts that expose the Seth Rich coverup, was a moving moment that will play on the heartstrings of many voters.

A certain amount of mild offence, tempered by amusement, has been caused over here by one of your candidates:

Mind you, ours have done the same:

Tame compared examples in this thread, but there is an ad running in Minnesota where one of the Republican’s main jabs at the Democrat, said in ominous tones is “she opposes the wall”

Every time I hear it I think “yeah, no shit, doesn’t everyone oppose the wall”? I think its one of those “paid for by America First” ads. Do they really think Minnesotans support a border wall?

There’s a disgusting radio ad in Arkansas that features two stereotypical black women complaining that if the Democrats take control, black males will be subject to endless white women making false accusations of sexual assault against them. “Girl, white Democrats would be lynchin’ black folk again.”

That ad isn’t all bad. It is educational. I learned that Brett Kavenaugh is a black man, for example.

Bill Murray provides the only explanation.

This thread is more depressing than a Trump rally. It’s easy to forget just how batshit insane we are as a nation. Why o why did we fight to keep the South? The biggest mistake in American history?

We get some Indiana ads in Chicago, and there’s one that just say “Joe Donnelly voted against Kavanaugh.” That’s it. It doesn’t go into anymore detail than that.

This tribal thing fellates with great alacrity.

:eek: I have to admire the honesty.:eek:

Testosterone poisoning.
A very bad case.
:dubious:

Be a Masshole, not an asshole.

Vote Yes on Question 3. Ban discrimination against the transgendered.
