Americans For Job Security Pops Up In PA
Been wondering when Americans for Job Security would pop up? Look no further than PA, where AJS is running a 30-sec. TV ad touting Sen. Rick Santorum (R) 11/15-11/30 in the Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Erie, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Johnstown-Altoona markets (i.e. everywhere except Philly.) The buy is costing approx. $450K. [TODAY'S HOTLINE]
Full script:
ANNCR: "Most Saturdays, they get together in the park, 8 a.m. sharp. Pennsylvania families relax a little more these days because Rick Santorum is getting things done everyday. Over $300 billion in tax relief, eliminating the marriage penalty, increasing the per-child tax credit -- all done. And now, Rick Santorum's fighting to eliminate unfair taxes on family businesses. Call and say thanks, because Rick Santorum is the one getting it done" (TNSMI/CMAG).
Responds Treas. Bob Casey. Jr. (D) manager Jay Reiff: "Rick Santorum should be honest with the people of Pennsylvania and bring his backers out of the shadows. I call on Santorum to join me in calling on all groups running ads in the Senate race to disclose their donors. ... Santorum's special interest friends are skirting campaign finance law by running ads while keeping silent on who's paying for the ads. What are they hiding?"
Few people in PA are going to rush to the phone to thank Flippy Ricky -- because they know, from checking their bank statements and property tax bills, that the Keystone State has gone exactly nowhere since Santorum took office.
And I agree with Reiff; if Santorum wants to play the "morality and ethics card," until he's blue in the face, then let him show some honesty about the sleazy 527s that are all going to rush to his aid.
Of wait, that would mean that all that moralizing was somthing more than an act, wouldn't it?
Here's there plan I guess
1- Insert cash in bonfire
2- Burn
3- Repeat
nice to know the sleazebags like this group are funding a political whore like santorum, without any accountability or transparency...maybe some enterprizing lawyer will file a civil rico against this group (hint hint)
santorum cant buy his way out of the political hell he has created for himself. still hugging fetuses, rick?
