Did anyone hear about the RNC using pop up ads?

God, can you think of something as irritating as pop up ads on a computer? The only worse thing is spyware, which is also associated with pop ups and advertising spying.

Anyways, I think this will actually hurt them with those that get the ad. I know that if I encountered those ads and I was a non political person, I would simply close them without paying attention.

Then again, maybe they'll work and stupid people won't research the veracity of the lies the Bush camp and the RNC will spout out.

2. I didn't see that

but then again I'm still waiting for the DNC to file illegal campaign charges against Fox News like the RNC just did against anyone who ever said anything bad about bush. Fox has some crazy ass pop-ups, its the place you wanna go if you want a reagan cap.

3. I have had them...

and I was shocked that they would choose that method. I have to admit I did not read it, but a quick glance that I remember, was pertaining to whether you will vote rethug or Democrat. For those that took the time to read it, was it clearly stated that it was on behalf of the rethugs?

5. Probably a$$KKKroft's idea

the pop-ups probably install spyware on the computer so Fatherland can track browsing habits.
