New ads by "Clubs for growth" ? Who are they?

These ads are running in Arkansas and Minnesota. Scroll down to see this ridiculous ad. The weathervane one just cracks me up it's so stupid.

Also, here are some of their "thoughts" on how a government should be run and why they think they are necessary:eyes:

I say it's asswhupping time.

Never give the enemy a break. Send them to hell.

Organization. Wise-Use, Libertarian, Corporatist paradigm.

the same one that ran the "latte sipping, berkenstock wearing liberal ads in Iowa against Dean.

This is another one of theose "527's" that Bush wants banned? Yeah, right!

The one that called him the "left-wing freak show-latte-drinking-volvo-driving" etc., etc.

Mostly about cutting taxes and starving government.

He's been on Bill Maher and mocked by the audience everytime he goes on.

originally bankrolled by Ken Lay....

They ran a series of ads a while back here in Maine (forget what the issue was) against Olympia Snow t get her to change her vote.

They used the French flag in the ad to make her appear to be un-patriotic. Only problem, the damm fools didn't do any research on Maine's demographics first. Had they done so, they would have found out that there is a LARGE Franco-American community here in the state that LOVES her.

The ad went over like a turd in the punch bowl at a church social.

but only if they can overpay millions to a CEO while doing it.

"Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell."

radical anti-tax republicans.

Actually I consider every republican group a radical anti-tax group. Most are disguised in various ways, a very few like Club for Growth are up front about what they are.

Remember this oldie:

<<With the help of a little digital wizardry, the conservative Club for Growth is airing ads showing Republican Sens. Olympia J. Snowe (Maine) and George V. Voinovich (Ohio) in proximity to French flags in order to disparage their resistance to President Bush's tax-cut plans.

Snowe and Voinovich have said they will support only $350 billion of Bush's $726 billion proposal, and their critical votes in the closely divided Senate this month led to a deal aimed at limiting the tax cut to $350 billion. This raised the ire of the Club for Growth, an anti-tax advocacy group with a penchant for throwing political rocks at moderate Republicans.

The TV ads, which will run for 10 days in Maine and Ohio, recall France's opposition to the U.S. invasion Iraq. They go on to say "some so-called Republicans," naming Snowe in the Maine ads and Voinovich in the Ohio ads, "stand in the way" of Bush's tax-cutting plans at home. Digitally inserted French flags flutter beside the senators' images.>>

Tactics and integrity. Some remember.
