A Philadelphia radio station, KYW-AM 1060 has rejected a political ad submitted by the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) that uses an impersonator for President Bush's voice, but fails to disclose the impersonation up front.
According to The Hill:
| Philadelphia KYW-AM Vice President and General Manager David Yadgaroff said his station decided not to run the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) ad because it was worried its listeners would be misled. “As an all-news station, we were concerned that our listeners would have been misled by usage of an impersonator in the creative delivery,” Yadgaroff said in an e-mail sent to The Hill. The ad was part of a $100,000 DCCC ad campaign in 13 different congressional districts held by Republicans. In the ad, a Bush impersonator calls the local GOP congressman, thanking him for “continuing to support the Big Oil agenda” as a member of the “Grand Oil Party.” |
There are several things to note here. First, is the blatent political distortionism the Dems are deliberately engaging in. Second is that they are pointing the finger of blame in the wrong direction ... again. High oil prices are attributable to a do-nothing Democrat controlled Congress. Third, it shows that the Dems have abandoned any pretense of integrity.
We need to vote them out of office before they inflict a Socialist disaster on us that is worse than what is happening over in Europe.

And President Bush has been urging Americans to contact their Congressional Reps and ask them to vote to allow drilling here at home for lower-priced oil. According to The Hill:
| Americans should contact Congress and tell their elected representatives to open up a part of the Alaskan wilderness and the area off the country’s coast to oil exploration, President Bush said Wednesday. “I fully understand why Americans are concerned about gasoline prices,” Bush told reporters. “But I want them to understand fully that we have got the opportunity to find more crude oil here at home in environmentally friendly ways and they ought to write their Congress people about it.” The president said Americans should tell Congress to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and the Outer Continental Shelf, as well as push for an increase in oil shale exploration. Bush argued that the Democratic Congress has “refused to budge” on these issues. |
Note that legislative body mentioned in that last sentence. Therein lies our biggest obstacle to energy independence.
