That's right - one hundred million dollars - for
Attack Ads
We'll tie whatever repelican candidate they host for President, to the most prominent party lies, and attach both, district by district, to repelican candidates vieing for Congress, and crush the entire repelican party as a whole nation wide.
Lies like -
Global Warming
Privatization of Social Security
Conservative activist judges
Ending corporate welfare - business by business, industry by industry
Corporations are people
Three million dollars will be set aside as prize money for the 150 best youtube one minute segments that meet our criteria, with a first, second, and third prize going to winners in each of the 50 states; with the possibility that 50 top finishers will see their ad played in their own district on national television during prime time.

I don't like attack ads, no matter who's pushing them. It is depressing that this is what politics has come to.
I guess we stopped learning to "play nice" once we left kindergarden...
I absolutely agree - this is not how we should conduct debate. But with Citizens United, and the influx of corporate cash into political advertising, and the success Romney has had using attack ads to crush slimy little newt, it is inevitable this process will find a new focus.
I say we must respond, in kind. In this way we will condemn both the process, and those who have used it, and consign them to the dust bin of history.
Confront each of their lies, call them lies, in plain English, and demonstrate exactly how repelicans benefit from their own lies, and what the consequences are.
How about attack ads attacking the notion of attack ads?
I'm all for it - as long as they tie right back into repelican party policy and ideology.
Great idea!!
