re: #582 LGoPs

I’m not necessarily bothered by kids in ads. E-trade has a particularly good series running with a baby doing trades on line. Pretty clever if you ask me.
What I detest is political ads using kids - which IMO - is the exclusive domain of democrats. Forlorn looking kids asking for more taxes for schools for example.
The most vile one I recall was shortly after the 2000 election when the Democrats ran a series of ads showing kids drinking water and complaining about the arsenic levels. Levels which Clinton had doubled days before he left office just to force Bush to roll them back because the cost of compliance would have been ruinous. That was a low-life thing to do.

Every political organization puts kids in ads. I’ve gotten plenty of D, R and issue advocacy ads from the left and the right with kids in them.

America has a big “for the children” problem. Censorship for “the children”! Taxes “for the children”, etc. I think people should raise their own children and let the adults be adults and make decisions for themselves.
