A new ad from a Republican group argues that women have been in a long, unhappy relationship with a man who spies on them, promised to "be better," and doesn't care about their needs: President Obama.
The 60-second Americans for Shared Prosperity ad compares the relationship between female voters (who overwhelmingly supported Obama in 2008 and 2012) to a bad relationship which during a time when the NFL's domestic violence issues have received a lot of attention.
The commercial aims to speak to female voters by addressing their concerns beyond birth control — like national security, privacy, and the economy. California winery owner, millionaire, and head of AFSP John Jordan told Politico (one of the sites running the ad) that he didn't agree with Democrats' "war on women" talking point, but also felt that Republican groups haven't found the right way to get their message specifically to women.
One problem with the ad, however, is that in light of the recent NFL domestic violence uproar, it reads like an abuse story.
Elias Isquith, an assistant politics editor at Salon, tweeted "Last thing I love about this @therickwilson ad is the way it mocks women in abusive relationships."
The ad features a woman who "fell in love" with a guy in 2008 who's online profile made him seem perfect — "smart, handsome, charming, articulate." But things started going south around 2012. The ad criticizes NSA spying and Obama's foreign policy by likening it to a boyfriend who spies on you. "He's in my emails and text messages, spying on me but ignoring real threats," she says. Obama's name isn't mentioned until the very end of the spot.
i don't think even water carrying republican women believe this ad as factual, they just need to look back at ads and lies about everything Obama THAT HAVE ALL BEEN REBUKED SEVERAL TIMES OVER they seem to think even though it's been proven to be right wing hyperbole that one more for the gipper (Reagan), will be the one that brings everyone into the republican fold and magically turn their exaggerations into more palatable lies.
