New Ad Nails Do Nothing Republicans By Asking What It Is That They Do In Washington


New Ad Nails Do Nothing Republicans By Asking What It Is That They Do In Washington

In a new Grassley ad, the Agenda Project Action Fund has decided to be exactly as dignified and respectful to Republicans as Republicans have been to America.

Spoiler: It’s not pretty.

“If Republicans don’t do their jobs when they’re in Washington, what exactly is it that they do do?”

“Republicans’ outright refusal to do their job has actual, real consequences for actual, real people,” said Agenda Project Action Fund President Erik Altieri, “Leaving the Supreme Court tied in this volatile election season when one candidate has already questioned another candidate’s constitutional right to the Presidency is the definition of irresponsible. At some point, our fellow citizens are going to clue into the fact that people who hate the government should not be allowed to run it.”


The ad shows actors playing Republicans dodging the press (which Senator Grassley has been doing quite a bit of, in fact) as they rush to sit on the toilet reading Ayn Rand and doing nothing for the people.

In other words, Republicans are crapping on America and so now America should crap on Republicans.

to previous and potential donors asking for campaign cash, strings OK.

Their staffers might skim pending legislation and recommend votes. Elected officials are far too busy insuring they can stay in office--the health insurance and retirement package are too good to pass up.

It's a stupid way to try to run a government and it's about run its course.
