Let’s contrast and compare which of the following should generate outrage:
1. Tim Tebow and his mother do an ad which tells the remarkable story of Tim’s birth, the agony of the decision his mother had to face when told by people she should abort, and the obviously happy ending they’ve experienced as a result of him being, you know, alive.
2. Taxpayers, many of whom are without jobs involuntarily, in a devastated economy, are forced to pay $2.5 million on an ad to promote the census.
David Williams, VP at Citizens Against Government Waste, said, “What an absolute colossal waste of money. That’s a lot of money to spend on a glorified public service announcement. While they’re counting people, we’re going to be counting the dollars that they’re spending.”
Unbelievable.
If they want to reach their target audience of people who will be less likely to respond, they should take out an ad during the World Cup.
Well it just goes to show where people’s priorities are. The right spends its money to reduce death, the left spends other people’s money to gain more power and more money.
Just when I think they can’t waste any more money they find a way.
Wow, you are all hopelessly deluded…
Good job, Anonymous. Way to post something substantive.
