The Craziest Political Ad Ever
October 27, 2020
I received a pro-Trump political ad in the mail that says: “President Trump is fighting to protect your Social Security and Medicare benefits” but that “Your Social Security and Medicare are under attack” because “For over 40 years Joe Biden has advocated to cut your benefits.”
Now, we know that Joe Biden does not want to cut Security or Medicare. Like any Democrat, he wants to expand them. But either way, you have a Republican promising to protect government welfare programs for seniors and a Democrat who (supposedly) wants to cut them. If that is not the craziest political ad ever I don’t know what is.
Laurence M. Vance [send him mail] writes from central Florida. He is the author of The Free Society; War, Christianity, and the State: Essays on the Follies of Christian Militarism; War, Empire, and the Military: Essays on the Follies of War and U.S. Foreign Policy; King James, His Bible, and Its Translators, and many other books. His newest book is The U.S. Proxy War in Ukraine.
Is This All They Have, Their Only Game?
