    SECOND ROUND OF FRANKEN TV ADS TO START TODAY

    By Michael B. Brodkorb | June 16, 2008

    According to a dedicated reader of Minnesota Democrats Exposed, Team Franken will be unveiling a new TV ad later today. I don’t have any specific information on the substance of the ad, but based on Franken’s standing in recent polls, I don’t think the ad will be another bio about Franken’s life.

    UPDATE: Click here to view the ad on Team Franken’s YouTube page. The ad called “Invest Here”, complains about the spending for new schools, water treatment facilities, and roads and bridges in Iraq. Franken supported the war in Iraq, but now he complains about building new schools in Iraq. The tone of the ad is less negative than I originally thought it would be.

      Angry Al complains about money spent on schools…and he helped bilk ‘The Children’ out of how many hundreds of THOUSANDS of dollars (Gloria Wise scandal).

      You Democrats really have got to have your heads examined for nominating this clod. Coleman’s gonna win by 10 points EASY!

      If a Democrat administration gets installed in the White House, we won’t be able to build new schools in Iraq until the NEA finishes it’s contract negotiations with the madrassa Imams.

      It seems to me that the NEA (National Education Association) is a PRIVATE organization.

      An elected President Bush, and Vice-President Cheney are PUBLIC figures.

      It has been estimated that about one-third of the members of the NEA are REPUBLICANS.

      The War in Iraq has been very expensive, and the Bush-Cheney have not been completely honest with the TRUE costs of the War in Iraq.

      “It has been estimated that about one-third of the members of the NEA are REPUBLICANS.”

      More correctly stated that the NEA is holding about 1/3 of their members HOSTAGE. Those MARGINALIZED Republican teachers CROSS the union at the risk of LOSING THEIR JOBS.

      “The War in Iraq has been very expensive, and the Bush-Cheney have not been completely honest with the TRUE costs of the War in Iraq.”

      Yeah, and Democrats haven’t been honest about the TRUE value of the War in Iraq. Democrats want to see a few thousand more Americans killed by terrorists… that is, after all, the fruit of their asinine policies.

      Many Republican teachers are plenty upset at the Republican political extremists.

      Many Republican voters and Republican military veterans are plenty upset at the War in Iraq. Their passion left shortly after Donald Rumsfeld left, and the Republican Noise Machine started to slowly turn around, and sound similar to what some of the Democrats had been saying for months.

      You are not going to be very successful at taking eight (8) years of Bush-Cheney and trying to blame Clinton-Gore.

      Al Gore has done some very positive things during the past eight (8) years.

      That’s for sure. AlGore has taken millions of dollars to create a complete hysteria over global warming that is NOT a direct result of man made issues. The public knows this and is laughing at AlGore. Particularly when his “carbon footprint” is hundreds of times worse than the average citizen.

      I’ll side with the 31,000 actual scientists, climatologists, and experienced weather observer over a gathering of AlGore’s politically motivated environ-nuts who want to return us to the horse-and-buggy age.

      [...] you noticed how the Democrats seem to be rerunning their 2006 campaign? Just look at Al Franken. He’s all about Iraq now. MoveOn and AFSCHME are all about [...]
