(via Obama Supports ‘Gay Marriage & Abortion,’ GOP Billboard States)
Sorry, but I have to give Republican Union PAC credit for this particular ad, on several fronts:
- It is the single most honest political advertisement I have seen in years. No distortions here, just facts.
- It’s about issues, and nothing more. Even though it’s clearly intended as a scare tactic, that’s only because many people are afraid of gay marriage and abortion. Of course, this is exactly why gay marriage and abortion really truly are legitimate issues in this election!
- It leaves the outcome to the reader. The “do you?” question is really just shorthand a way of saying, “think about what you really believe in before you vote.”
So yes. Yes I do support gay marriage and abortion. Thank you for spending your Super PAC money to remind me how much the Democratic candidate agrees with my values!
