rss feedAS THE POLITICAL season gets hot and heavy, there are a slew of political ads airing on Pennsylvania TV stations, but none have been so harsh as the ones in the race between Bob Casey and Sen. Rick Santorum.
Santorum started his ad campaign off kindly enough, with messages of his love for seniors, as he walked around them as they were polka dancing.
Now they've become increasingly harsher, with Santorum running an ad that portrays some Casey financial donors spending time in the same jail cell. (In fact, the majority of them haven't even given to Casey's Senate campaign, and one is actually dead.)
But one ad catching attention just recently is one being run by a political action committee named VoteVets.org, which says Sen. Santorum voted against giving our troops body armor.
I don't know which is more jarring - the charge, or the visual in the ad. In it, a reservist by the name of Peter Granato shoots up the same sort of flak jacket he was given when he deployed to Iraq.
