Halvorson's Hard-Hitting Ad
This has to be one of the most hard hitting ads Hotline On Call has seen so far this cycle: Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D-IL) is up with a new ad that attacks Iraq war vet Adam Kinzinger (R) for supporting free trade agreements.
The ad features a series of heartfelt testimonials from people who lost their jobs. "It's real hard to explain to my wife why I was losing my job," says one. "You get cut off at the knees."
In the final testimonial, the speaker levels a direct attack at Kinzinger as the screen goes black.
"Young man, you have no idea what you're doing," he says.
Halvorson is one of the more embattled Democratic incumbents, running in a battleground exurban Chicago district. Both the DCCC and the NRCC had reserved air time in this district, though a Democratic operative told Hotline On Call the DCCC buy around Chicago was recently scaled back.
Ad is below:
This ad is not "hard hitting". It is a last ditch effort by congresswoman Halvorson who has mismanaged her campaign from the start. She can't run on her voting record because it is identical that of Nancy Pelosi. She doesn't have any "new ideas", and the people of the 11th district will let her know how much they appreciate her pro socialist anti business agenda.
Young man you have no idea what you are doing indeed. This fly boy should stay in the cockpit and out of elected office all he will do is whatever orange boehner tells him.
I was hit hard by this ad and I agree with it. These people losing their jobs are Americans who are victims of business' greed. Their jobs are going to people who are also victims in foreign countries, working for less and living in deplorable conditions because they have no other resources. You're telling me your job is so safe that it cannot be outsourced and that you would be the one on unemployment and uninsured? Halvorson is not anti-business, she is pro-American.
Why doesn't Halvorson talk about her support for the left wing agenda of the Democrat Party? She voted for a lot of this left wing nonsense and we are going to vote this left wing nut out of office.
I'm a veteran and I support the TRUE American Patriot and that's Adam Kinzinger.
Halvorson is afraid to meet the people in her District. She's afraid of Town Hall meetings. Well, November 2nd can't get here fast enough.
