An ad like this doesn’t just look like an ad to me, it looks like what I personally believe. And since I believe this, I couldn’t possibly vote for Obama. And if you believe this too, you shouldn’t vote for Obama either. And if you don’t believe this, where have you been for the past four years?
And another Romney ad: Frightening and astonishing.

Abbott should run the same ad. It’s happening here too.
They are sending us broke.

The facts in that ad are scary. Here, Tony Abbott has a plethora of scary facts to use but it will be hard to choose. Do you go for all the lies – there will be no ……, lack of border protection, budget blowouts the list is endless. Labor will probably continue the personal attacks which is what you do when you’re bereft of anything else.

The second ad is very effective; you feel empathy for the those who want to work but cannot and also because many people are feeling the pressure and know that they too could soon be in the same position.

ObamaCare Summed Up In One Sentence:
“So let me get this straight – this is a long sentence.
We are going to be gifted with a health care plan that we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t, which reportedly covers 10 million more people without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman doesn’t understand it, passed by Congress, that didn’t read it, but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that is broke.
So what the blank . . . could possibly go wrong?”

This blog has a global following. And most gentle readers would no doubt value freedom of speech. If not for this freedom, the truth about carbon dioxide, global temperature datasets and political interference from other countries would not be known.
Freedom of speech is under attack in Australia. Mercedes-Benz – a global corporate giant – has seen fit to withdraw its sponsorship from the Alan Jones broadcast in cooperation with the Labor government to try to silence Alan Jones and rob many 2GB listeners of their right to hear Mr Jones.
“We want the car back, the deal is cancelled, it is over,” Mercedes-Benz’s corporate communications manager, David McCarthy, said. Yes, his name is McCarthy!
If you value freedom of speech, please take a few moments to let them know what you think of leading the charge to persecute one man, one radio station and its many listeners.
Please be polite and respectful. Let them know you value freedom of speech and that it is irresponsible for a big corporation with huge resources to team up with a government with unlimited power to try to shut down speech they don’t like.
McCarthy is living up to his namesake alright. McCarthyism is a term used to describe the targeting of political opponents for persecution.
Thank you.
Mercedes-Benz Australia Pacific knows what a bunch of angry twitter users think. Let them know what real people think about freedom of speech. That people have given their lives for it, and that it is an act of treason to throw it away so carelessly.
Thank you.

By coincidence, I was going to order a new MB today. I did not. Instead, I sent an email to the Dealer Principal ( a dealership from which I have purchased five new cars) and told that I won’t be ordering the car because of the withdrawal of advertising and support from Alan Jones and that they should send my email to MB Australia.
