About Those TV Ads . . .

Facts about Tone of Presidential TV Advertising Campaign from the Wisconsin Advertising Project
MADISON, WI – In the presidential candidate debate last night, both candidates made empirical claims about the tone of the other’s television advertising campaign. Barack Obama argued that all of John McCain’s advertising has been negative and Senator McCain countered that Senator Obama has aired more negative ads than anyone in history – and that he can “prove it.”
The University of Wisconsin Advertising Project, using data from the Campaign Media Analysis Group, has tracked and analyzed the targeting and tone of presidential advertising in the last four presidential campaigns. So, what does the evidence say? Was Obama correct? Did McCain prove it?

Barack Obama, Master Hypnotist
By The Special Guests Publicity Service
Editor’s Note: Be on the alert for this as you watch tonight’s debate. And also be careful of John McCain’s unusual ability to induce sleep.

THE ABILITY TO HYPNOTIZE: Master Hypnotist Says It Is One Of Barack Obama’s Most Effective Skills
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews said that listening to Barack Obama speak sent a “thrill up his leg” while prosecutors in St. Louis volunteered to join the “Barack Obama Truth Squad.” When you ask Obama’s supporters why he has their vote, the answer involves the word “change” with little or no specifics.
Dr. William D. Horton is not only a highly trained psychologist but he is considered the leader in NeuroLinguistic Psychology and a master hypnotist. He is also certain that Barack Obama is using multiple hypnotic techniques that are designed to circumvent what’s known as the “critical factor” or conscious part of the brain that is responsible for reason, logic, and rational thoughts. Upon doing so, the subconscious mind is wide open and vulnerable to his influence and suggestions.

1. ThirdPartyTicket.com Launched: Ron Paul’s Money Bomb Architect and Partners Working on Third Party Debate with Twist
On the heels of Congressman Ron Paul’s press conference rejecting the corrupt two parties, and his endorsement of four third-party candidate who agree on bringing the U.S. troops home, protecting our civil liberties, investigating the Federal Reserve, and balancing the federal budget, ThirdPartyTicket.com is working to host a debate among third party candidates punctuated by a money bomb, that Trevor Lyman and others are setting up.
The debate will take place on Thursday, October 16th, 2008, from 7 to 9 pm EST, at New York Society for Ethical Culture.

Bob Barr: Pro-Pot
By Citizen Kate
Editor’s Note: While we prepare for the inevitable horror that will be tonight’s debate between Barack Obama and John McCain – long periods of boredom punctured by short bursts of smear – let’s divert our attention ever so briefly to one of our wonderful third-party candidates the corporate parties would not allow on the stage. In this case, we mean Bob Barr, whose commitment to habeas corpus makes him a true patriot. If only Barr and Nader – plus Mike Gravel, just because – could be on that stage tonight too, we’d hear a little more truth. Here’s Citizen Kate with Barr at the Libertarian convention.

5. Evacuation safety manuals: Like new!

The Haystack Bailout
By Dennis Kucinich
Monday marked a day that will go down in history, when Congressional Democrats and Republicans alike took on full responsibility to protect the interests of taxpaying Americans, and defeated the deceptive bailout bill, defying the dictates of the Administration, the House Majority Leadership, the House Minority Leadership and the special interests on Wall Street.
Obviously Congress must consider quickly another course. There are immediate issues which demand attention and responsible action by the Congress so that the taxpayers, their assets, and their futures are protected.
We MUST do something to protect millions of Americans whose homes, bank deposits, investments, and pensions are at risk in a financial system that has become seriously corrupted. We are told that we must stabilize markets in order for the people to be protected. I think we need to protect peoples’ homes, bank deposits, investments, and pensions, to order to stabilize the market.
