Thanks to the Super Bowl we know it would look something like this.

On the eve of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords is challenging Washington leaders not to ignore gun violence.
The former Democratic congresswoman is featured in a new television ad set to air immediately before and after the president’s speech. In the ad, Giffords faces the camera and says, “Congress is afraid of the gun lobby.”
“Tell Washington it’s too dangerous to wait,” she says in a slightly slurred voice.
Giffords, 43, is still recovering from a brain injury suffered in 2011 when a mentally ill man shot her in the head as she met with constituents outside an Arizona shopping center. Six people were killed in the attack.
McConnell is fighting for his political life. He is in the midst of a re-election campaign in Kentucky and that campaign is not going according to plan. According to a PPP poll, McConnell is in a virtual tie with his Democratic Challenger Allison Grimes.
Mitch is therefore looking for all the help he can find and these days and Kentucky is loving Obamacare, they just call it by another name. So guess what Mitch’s new plan is… be the proponent for Obamacare… um Obamacare by another name that is.
Here is the latest ad the McConnell campaign put out. Notice there is absolutely no mention of his countless oppositions to healthcare.
This is 2014. I have to keep reminding myself of that fact. When you see wanted ads like the one below, its easy to think that the year is 1914.
According to Gawker, this ad was placed in West Virginia.
Now I personally have not seen this ad and I’m an avid viewer MSNBC, but I’ve been bumping into it all over the internet, so I am now forced to post it here on EzKool. It is an ad based on the War on Christmas, and it has been popping up on MSNBC and Fox News.
The ad, which was produced by St. Mary’s Parish of Barnegat, New Jersey, is quite frankly terrorizing. It features a little girl who the narrator refers to as Amy. She is the focal point of the ad as the narrator explains what he believes is the War on Christmas.
From the narrator:
“This is Amy. She lives in America. She’s free to smile to show she’s happy. Everyone’s OK with this.
Amy is a Christian. She’s also free to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ to show she’s happy. But not everyone is OK with this.
We are one nation under God. No man owns Amy’s happiness. No man will define how she shows it.”
But prepare yourself. At the end if the narration while Amy is seen and heard laughing, there is a terrifying scream heard in the background as the ad came to an end. Made me remember the movie The Ring.

Democrats Hit Back in Post Shutdown Ad
The Republican government shut down ended just a few days ago but already Democrats are hitting back. Armed with multiple polls showing that the American people are on their side and blaming Republicans for the terrible state government, Democrats have happily taken the opportunity to kick the GOP while they’re down.
The ad below is the first in what is expected to be a major topic in the 2014 elections – the Republican government shutdown, and the main Republican players who almost destroyed America’s economy with their foolish antics.
The target of this first ad is Steve Southerland, a Teaparty Republican representing Florida’s 2nd district. According to recent polls, Southerland’s district could be up for grabs in 2014, thus, the ad.
To all my New Jersey friends, Wednesday it’s time to vote!
President Obama has a message for you. Vote for Cory!
The 30 second ad — which with a $100,000 initial ad buy will run on national cable outlets — features Redge Ranyard, a 91-year-old World War II Navy Veteran who chastises Republicans, and specifically Boehner, over their partisan rhetoric in the shutdown fight and accuses them of not working on behalf of average Americans and veterans.
Veterans have become a key chess piece in the political fight over the shutdown that both parties are hoping to exploit in their favor.
Republicans ranging from Rep. Steve King to Sen. Ted Cruz struck first, seizing on a confrontation between World War II veterans and park police last week at the World War II memorial as a photo opportunity back drop and to cast President Obama as uncaring about national heroes in an effort to push the blame for the shutdown off of themselves and onto Democrats.
VoteVets.org’s ad is a significant escalation in the shutdown battle over veterans. While last week’s dust up involved Honor Flights, a nonprofit organization that flies veterans into D.C., the ad features a war hero who served in the North African and European theaters directly taking aim at Republicans and blaming them for the shutdown.
The ad by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is being played mainly in John Boehner’s district in Ohio. John Boehner has been adamant over the last few days about not bringing a clean Continuing Resolution to the House floor for an up or down vote, because as he sees it, the votes are not there to pass such a bill.
Democrats on the other hand and even some Republicans say there are more than enough votes in the House pass the clean CR which will bring the Government back to full operation, but John Boehner is insisting everyone is wrong.
“Tell John Boehner to grow a spine,” the ad says.
President Obama has urged Boehner to bring the clean CR for a vote, stating if he is right about there not being enough votes to pass the Resolution, then he should prove it with the vote!
So far, Boehner would is not budging.
Progressives have been gushing over the new political ad by Massachusetts State Rep. Carl Sciortino, which features the openly gay Democrat “coming out” to his Tea Party father as a liberal.
Sciortino, who is running to replace Ed Markey in Massachusetts’ 5th District Congressional election, and his father both joined MSNBC’s Hardball to share insights into their multi-party family life. Carl Sciortino, Sr. joked that his son’s views took a left turn after he was “indoctrinated” as a student at Tufts University.
A proud Republican all his life (with a Republican father), Sciortino Sr. said he had only ever voted for one Democrat: John F. Kennedy. If his son advances into the general election, he conceded that he’d break his long conservative streak and cast his ballot for the younger Sciortino.
“Yes, I would,” he told Chris Matthews, with a laugh. “He is my son. That was a secret, though.”
See their ad below.
The two-minute ad, titled “Loaded for Bear,” focuses heavily on Palin’s CPAC appearance, lauding her as the fearless anti-establishment superstar.
The video also features freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) praising Palin for her work in 2012 and giving her credit for his win, as well as that of others. It also features text reminding viewers that there are 35 Senate races and 36 gubernatorial races next year. The video ends with the silhouette of a bear growling, and the words “We haven’t yet begun to fight!”
Something big is getting ready to happen on March 1st. The Sequester is coming and Republicans are once again, sitting on their hands instead of doing whatever they can to protect the economy and the middle class. It’s the same old story – By doing nothing, the effects of the coming Sequester protects the rich, while the middle class suffers.
So in preparation for the big event, Democrats are coming together through the efforts of The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee – The DCCC – by creating an ad targeting 27 Teaparty Republicans who would love nothing more than seeing a suffering middle class after the Sequester kicks in.
The head of the DCCC, Steve Israel put it this way:
“There are real-world consequences for middle class families because of House Republicans’ dysfunction and chronic chaos. For the defense workers who may get pink slips, the federal law enforcement officers who may be furloughed, and the FBI agents and the food inspectors who are looking at layoffs, they will be reminded that those pink slips have been brought to hardworking Americans by this Tea Party Republican Congress.
It is time for House Republicans to come back to work to avert this crisis, stop protecting tax breaks for special interests and corporations — and stand up for the middle class.”
The Republican leaders in the House of Representative and their members have been on vacation for the past couple weeks. There is absolutely no urgency on their part to get back to work.
Meanwhile, March 1 is just a few days away.
