Independent voices rising in ads
By Jim Drinkard, USA TODAYWASHINGTON — The latest independent voice in this year's presidential campaign is that of an 83-year-old, self-made billionaire who wants to convince John Kerry and the Democrats that it's politically safe to be liberal.
John Sperling is the force — and the money — behind a quirky $2 million advertising campaign in major newspapers this month. It promotes his idea that the nation is divided into two camps, which he labels "metro" and "retro."Retro America, marked by religious fundamentalism and militarism, is the irretrievable bastion of Republicans, in Sperling's view. The metro states are the home of racial tolerance, economic dynamism and growth, which should serve as a roadmap for Democrats to retake political power, he says.
Get it? Metrosexual versus Retrosexual?
Why is it always the morons who find the money to buy so much airtime?
Lyndon LaRouche comes to mind.
