"Aw Shucks, I Get So Embarrassed When Folks Find Out About All The Good My Organization Is Doing"

What do these organizations have in common?
-Tea Party Express
-Let Freedom Ring
-Americans for Job Security
-Citizens United
-U.S. Chamber of Commerce
-American Crossroads
They are all funding attack ads against Democrat candidates.
They are all officially unaffiliated with a political party and therefore required to disclose neither donors nor amounts donated.
(As of this blog entry, all Democrat attack ads against Republicans have been funded by the Democratic Party and, by law, are subject to full disclosure.)

-Spot Quiz-
The above organizations remain anonymous because:
A.) Their members are shy, humble do-gooders who feel awkward about stepping into the spotlight.
B.) They are special-interest groups that want to keep their identity from the public.

If you answered B.), I hope that you will be voting on Nov. 2nd
If you answered A.), I hope that your limousine breaks down on way to the polling place

If I may: From what I've seen trying to watch anything on t.v. lately (and maybe I'm just imagining), there are more ads/hr. than there have ever been and they come tightly bundled with one another. Hopefully, this will lead to apoplexy for those viewer/voters who may otherwise be swayed by them, or the oversaturation will induce some sort of mental vomiting in the voter/viewer. Thank God for remotes and a cable taping system where you can watch a show on a time delay basis and surf thru this crap.

Beer, cars, deodorant, Viagra, candidates--it's all the same to the Mad Men.
