Conservative political group launches TV ad praising Portman; Fisher strikes back
American Crossroads, a conservative 527 independent political group, on Tuesday, Aug. 17, launched a TV ad praising Republican Rob Portman, who’s running against Democrat Lee Fisher in the Ohio U.S. Senate race.
The group - founded by Karl Rove, political adviser to former President George W. Bush, and Ed Gillespie, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee - is spending $500,000 for a one-week buy to air the ad on Dayton, Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati TV stations, a press release said.
The ad hails job creation ideas from Portman, a former Cincinnati-area U.S. House member and budget director and U.S. trade representative for former President George W. Bush. It says Portman is “finding solutions in Columbus, Cleveland,Toledo, Dayton.”
A Fisher campaign press release says the ad “completely ignores the facts about Congressman Rob Portman’s two decades as Bush’s economic architect, writing and supporting policies that sent thousands of Ohio jobs overseas.”
Here’s the ad:

Will “NOT” waste my one vote chance to keep Rob Portman “OUT” of office, any office He still smells of George Bush and that makes me very sick and I think leslie spilled her TEA. I think they should draft leslie and let her earn her rights in America.

Oh No! We cannot have politicians that support business. We do not want no stinking private sector jobs. Only government is good. Only government jobs. We all are equal we all have the same talents. No one should make more than anyone else. Down with ball stars, down with movie stars. They make to much money. We must all share everything. Join the commune work together. Everyone is equal. I don’t have a cell phone and no on else should. No one should have a TV bigger than 21”. Stop materialism.

PORTMAN HAS A 97% APPROVAL RATING FROM THE US CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. IF THOSE UNREPENTANT FASCISTS LOVE HIM THEN HE IS TOO CONSERVATIVE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A-N-Y PUBLIC OFFICE.
